The first one was way more punk. Way different from what came later. I credit his time with Siouxie Sue and the gang as an influence for the change. He did steal her lip color after all.

I listened to the first half of Three Imaginary Boys again just now, while driving with my cousin to the store at night. I liked it a lot more now that I wasn't intently listening to it. (Not to say that it's background music, but sometimes I can begin to appreciate an album more when I'm not focusing on it too much.) I was going to dispute your calling it "punk", but it makes sense when I remember that the term "positive punk" was in use at that time.

Yes at the time there were many other acts like the Damned. Who had a lot of variety in their sound. It wasn't such distilled Lo-Fi screaming that it tends to be today. Which by the way the Damned are another great iconic group. Still active today.
