...Clash, Give 'Em Enough Rope (Epic, 1978). Politicized punk, the musical equivalent of being roughed-up in a back alley. R.I.P. the Sex Pistols...
...replaced on drums by Kenny Jones, 31. The group still puts My Generation across with enough swagger and insinuation to get you giddy or make you feel like you are being stalked down a dark street. When Townshend, 35, called himself "the aging daddy of punk rock," he was not being entirely facetious. Who music can match the tough street impact of punk, especially as Daltrey dishes it out. At 35, he may be one of the oldest kids in the playground, but he is still one of the toughest. Townshend melodies like Pure and Easy, Baba O'Riley...

And it has paid off: phenomenal sales, constantly sold-out concerts, and almost universal acclaim by critics who never quite latched onto new wave...
...what he has practiced throughout his tenure: fighting for his political life. The nation ought to be watching the election to monitor a unique contemporary experiment in populism, not just to catch more of the mayor's antics. The press delights in portraying Kucinich as a sort of political punk-rocker: he's rude, he's vicious, he's noisy, he's politically outspoken, and he looks barely old enough to be the beau of Akron's hardnosed heart-throb, 16-year-old Rachel Sweet...
