The X-Ray Spex were the subject of at least one really, really stupid argument where somebody was bitching that they're not "punk rock" because their band has a sax player.
That's funny...I feel like the only punk music I listen to regularly is punk music with (occasional or frequent) saxophone: The Clash, X-Ray Spex, Essential Logic, James Chance...
+1 for mentioning Poly's environmentalist stance as demonstrated in her lyrics, +/- 1 for not mentioning her bizarre Hare Krishna solo period in the mid 80s.
And I will agree that she has grown into her face...
