L.A.M.F
Hi, Your recent edits have been insisting that the album be referred to as Rock N Roll although general consensus has been to label it as Punk which it is widely referenced as being. Do you have any strong supporting verifiable references for the Rock N Roll genre or is this just your opinion? Lame Name (talk) 20:27, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Good work finding the reference; I've kept it but also added in punk since L.A.M.F. is also a punk record. When punk came about in the 1970s its purpose was to resurrect rock & roll, simpler and harder-edged, so I can see where your assertion that L.A.M.F. is a rock & roll record comes from. In essence, it is, because punk eliminated all the complexity and pretentiousness that had been killing rock & roll. Therefore, a majority of the early 77 punk records - Blank Generation, Never Mind the Bollocks, Ramones, Damned Damned Damned, Young Loud And Snotty, The Clash - were quinessentially rock & roll, but it was diffferent though. It was harder, heavier, snottier, and sometimes faster, than pure rock & roll like Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry. It was punk, not pure rock & roll. Also, make sure you;'re not thinking of hardcore punk when you hear the term "punk rock." L.A.M.F. is unanimously recognized as a pioneering punk rock record. Please do not further revert edits. --Tim010987 (talk) 02:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
