Personal Quotes
"NME's ethos was straightforward: power to the people. The people in question being our readers, who had first call on our loyalty. We despised the record industry, gave not even two hoots for the sensitivities of our publisher or the profits of their shareholders, and relentlessly satirized even favorite musicians."
"The Jam brought us the sound of '65 in 1976 and now in 1978 they bring us the sound of '66. Again, they've done it in such a way that it all sounds fresher and newer than anything else this year."
