The Damned were absoloutely BRILLIANT + had lots of 'Punk firsts' Like they released the 1st punk single 'New Rose' in October 1976, They had the 1st punk album 'Damned, Damned,Damned' and they were the 1st uk punk band to tour America. So there!
They were very very good. I was at the 100 Club the night they played there with the Pistols, and I have to tell you it was f***ing awesome. sjc

re: links
It's important to convert terms to links only when it serves a purpose in the article. Common nouns, dates, well-known places, etc., aren't linked-to. Example:

The Damned are a rock band from the suburbs of London, England, formed in 1976.
The Damned initially came together in the first wave of British punk rock. They have dissolved and reformed many times, often incorporating other elements in their music, most notably garage rock, psychedelic music, the British theatrical horror-rock of Screaming Lord Sutch and the rock-Vaudeville of...

It's unlikely that anyone will need a link to rock and roll, London, England, 1976, etc., so the choppy blue text becomes a distraction. Many readers WILL, however, need a link to Screaming Lord Sutch and other unfamiliar terms.

1969 / 1970
I haven't got a copy to hand so I can't check, but I'm pretty sure the Stooges cover on the first album was 1969 (from The Stooges), not 1970 (from Fun House). They did play 1970 on stage but as far as I know never put it on an album. --BTLizard 11:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
It eas '1970,' and it was on the second Damned album, retitled as 'I Feel Alright.'
