I'm very nervous about changing articles these days, especially one with a source, but it would have been impossible for the Pistols to have supported The Blockheads (in '76 i think is the implication) - the band was not fully formed or named until the Stiff package tour of '77 and didn't release a record under that name until What A Waste in '78 - the Pistols did support an Ian Dury band (Dury confirms this in his TV documentary On My Life, amongst other places) but it's more likely they supported Ian Dury & The Kilburns - an intermediate band between Kilburn & The Highroads and The Blockheads that did contain Blockheads members like Chas Jankel and Davey Payne, which could have lead to the confusion (i see the 'source' is Johnny Rotten's No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs - not a very reliable book) - though they could have been using the name Kilburn & The Highroads still/again. It's a little thing, but annoying. Can i get a more authoritarian Wikier's go-ahead to change this some time?

I've re-written this article using sourced quotes from the original wherever possible. Unfortunately I had to cut the long list of bands considered to be Pub Rock. These sorts of lists are not suitable to Wikipedia. However, I recognise that this means lots of people's favourite Pub Rock bands don't get a mention so I've pased the list below to keep it alive. P.S. I took the liberty of removing Slade, though, they really don't belong here and I couldn't resist. Silverwood ( talk) 22:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Could this article become a subsection of Punk Rock?
I quite agree with my learned friend. Punk rock sounds nothing like pub rock. 83.32.231.20 17:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, if you do what the author didn't and remove your head from the enormous .... ahem.. sandpit (would use stronger language, but..) that is London, knocking down well known pubs or turning them into houses isn't so much of a fashion as there isn't the same crazy population density or clamour for space - and the pub rock scene, though slightly morphed in flavour to fit the times, is still alive and well. Come to the midlands and give Birmingham (the centre, and the slightly further out regions, where such pubs with function rooms abound), Leicester, Peterborough, Coventry, etc a try. (pet hate is media types and entertainments writers getting hoodwinked into thinking there is no world and no life outside of the m25, when the majority of the uk population has never set foot inside it.. what if such a mindset had stifled the rise of merseybeat, or the madchester scene?)
of course, it's not the biggest thing going as it might have briefly been in the mid 70s, but that's arguably the entire point - its a very personal, up close "communion" kind of experience. it's been a long time since i've been able to get my act together and go out an enjoy a night in one of these places, but i'd certainly enjoy the opportunity to do so again, particularly with at least one favoured internet-based cottage-industry folky type band is doing the midlands pub rounds right now (as an exception to the above statement, i fear a previous haunt - the old railway, in duddeston (b'ham) - has probably been bulldozed to make way for the metal-and-glass white elephant that is the Millennium Point science centre and iMax cinema. If i'm lucky, it's still there nestled alongside, serving up choice cuts of local punk, metal and hard rock bands. long may it's dodgy acoustics distort on, if so)

Re first paragraph ... "was notable for rejecting huge stadium venues and for returning live rock to the small intimate venues".
Firstly, it's not in the original source. Secondly, who is the author kidding? None of the bands would have been invited to nor been able to fill a "stadium". This would appear to be an Americanism creeping its way in.
Also, I don't think "returned" live rock to small venues, it just where they always played. I mean, where else would they? Does the author think bands just hop from their bedrooms to playing Wembley on a whim?
