the record companies thought punk would take off like disco or heavy metal or something. in the end, it required a very different sort of approach. It wasn't until Green Day and all that that the mall set really embraced it

TODD RUNDGREN
He did one album that will always be remembered:

I have great friends that saw TODD somewhere here in NJ or NY.  They thought the show was terrible. 

He was in an earlier band NAZZ who were also great.

oddly enough, something/anything ISN'T my fave todd solo album. it's not even in the top 3. those are " acapella", "with a twist" and "nearly human".

What is always amazing to me is that the Ramones never had a radio hit, hell- they were never on the f**king radio!
They just played live alot and put out lotsa great records and did it for 20 years!

the record companies thought punk would take off like disco or heavy metal or something. in the end, it required a very different sort of approach. It wasn't until Green Day and all that that the mall set really embraced it
I mean, that's how I got into punk.  Essentially.  Granted I wasn't even alive in the 70s when punk started.

I was 8-10 when Green Day/The Offspring/Rancid/Sublime were becoming a thing in the early 90s.  Nirvana had a 'punky' feel to them.  I got into them and via interviews with those guys on MTV, etc, and them saying they dug Ramones/Black Flag/Misfits, etc, I checked them out and really got into punk.

One could argue the validity of say, Green Day being 'punk' but it got me into it so, I'll always have a special place in my heart for that band.

There's all kinds of records.  In vinyl days, record companies controlled public tastes to large extent (but hardly all).  The A&R man had fallen out of favor and style by the time Punk came along.  Record labels didn't know what to do with Punk.  I can't think of a significant original Punk band that "sold any records".  BLONDIE?  Nah; they really started that "New Wave".

Seconded on The Clash. 

I mean, could Blonde be considered punk? I mean, not really, but where's one end and one begin, so to speak? I mean, later bands you could hear the huge difference.  I mean, Wall of Voodoo compared to say, Dead Boys is two different things.  But that's more a different conversation entirely, I suppose.

Yes!  I should have specified USA band... though Brits copied Yanks, Punk did much better in Britain than here.  That is a significant original Punk band that SOLD RECORDSBELA gets the gold star.   Thumbup
