At least we still have John Lydon, right? And there was Johnny Ramone but he died, sadly.
But yeah, pretty cringe to see all these ostensibly anti-authoritarian guys turn out to be authoritarian. Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised since all these leftist musicians really weren't anti-authoritarian to start with, they just wanted communists calling the shots.
There's the rub. Some would say the Smiths were post-punk, others they're 'goth' (cf. the whole Smiths vs. The Cure debate)..maybe not so much here, but people can take labels really seriously lol

I considered including Morrissey but I didn't want to anger the punks just in case they didn't think he was a punk.
But its so easy and fun to do.

and Van Morrison
Check out Michale Graves. He's got an amazing voice and sang for the Misfits but Jerry Only is an asshole. He's definitely right wing
