not that punk was shite per se, just that using the word 'punk' as a synonym of 'good' is, well, a bit tired.

How about...
very early Alkaline Trio - that album of 7" stuff with Cooking Wine, My Friend Peter etc simply named Alkaline Trio is sheer genius

Be good
or be gone is at least AS good as penny in the slot

Nice one Patashnik!
