Why don't you pop some middle of the road pap on, and have a little pogo?

Try Manhattan Transfer.

Now they really were hard core punk rockers.

As to the Police - cream always floats to the top!
Rave band the Prodigy had 2 number one records in the 90's with Punk influenced songs and still pack out festivals with fans...




So don't tell me Punk died out!

So they are in good company, they have sold more than Johnny Cash, 1 million more than Lady Gaga, the same amount of Village People, very punk!
10 Million less than Journey, 35 million less than Dolly Parton, The Who, Paul Maccartney (solo) Janet Jackson! Britney Spears!
It gets better, 65 million less than Backstreet Boys!! Or even Genesis, so I will not need to throw away Foxtrot just yet

135 million less than Celine Dion or Mariah Carey! Or even my beloved Pink Floyd.
Abba sold between 200 and 300million, right when Punk was at its highest

Finally The Beatles and Elvis, 1 Billion records.
Who said pop music was dead!

Hope you don't Google all these numbers while doing important things in the cockpit

PS Why is it called a "cockpit" ?
