In my teens I was a huge fan of the punk scene (american, english, etc.). That music is still my fave, but I am also more open to all kind of subgenres inside rock n' roll. Needless to say, I also love a big chunk of other genres (salsa, jazz, classical, etc.).
I now present you Mink DeVille (fronted by the late and great Willy DeVille). They started at CBGB'S (along with The Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc.), but didn't have anything in common with the other groups (other than making good music, that is).
