The Beatles had a good punk 'tude early on, plus the definition

In Reply to: Did anyone notice in the 40th anniversary issue of Rolling Stone that Ringo described The Beatles as a punk band? posted by HamBone77 on May 4, 2007 at 08:56:22:

of what constitutes "punk" post 1977 (and specifically as regards "rock") sure has changed since The Silver Beatles. Early on the Beatles could (briefly) give the Stones a good run at punk 'tude. They grew out of that phase pretty quickly though.

As it stands right now, Johnny Lydon really doesn't seem much more punk than Ringo, especially regarding touring for bucks. I suppose the major difference there is Lydon needed the dough more than Ringo ever will, and THAT is a big difference.

That's not selling out a punk ethos? No, I suppose that's buying in to a non-punk ethos.
