I'm taping the main programme to watch later tomorrow, but saw the old Timeshift programme and found the bit with Peel/Murray a bit inaccurate...those Ramones and the dreadful Sham 69 pulled out with their Chuck Berry/Eddie Cochran thang as an example of punk against prog. CBGB's was mentioned...that would be the same venue that had Patti Smith singing Soft Parade-style jazz/poetry over brief songs like Land and Birdland? Or the same venue that featured Ramones' peers Television...whose Little Johnny Jewel and Marquee Moon were, er, quite proggy???? It's a very simplistic history of music being presented here, I'm assuming that at the time some folk would listen to the Can or Tangerine Dream as they would Genesis or the Floyd?

I mean, Magazine had a few proggy moments - Back to Nature, Motorcade, Feed the Enemy...
