Pub Rock (United Kingdom)
Pub rock was a rock music genre that developed in the early to mid-1970s in the United Kingdom. A back-to-basics movement, pub rock was a reaction against progressive and glam rock. Although short-lived, pub rock was notable for rejecting stadium venues and for returning live rock to the small pubs and clubs of its early years. It was the catalyst for the British punk rock scene.

“Dont say, dont say there is no water
to solace the dryness at our hearts.

the fountain springing out of the rock wall
and you drinking there.”
