They never claimed they were a punk band, neither did the jam They had a punk attitude though

True, but The Jam did famously claim they were Tories...

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

The Stranglers had a manager with a rather Welsh name and accent to match i.e. Dai Davies. 13:00s onward in video.

Argus!

To be fair Weller's lyrics were always conspicuously establishment

"From family trees, the dukes do swing" being a case in point.

Dave Greenfield answered the ad to join a “soft rock” band (The Stranglers). He was nearly 30, the drummer was nearly 40. “Old farts” was the term at the time. Dig out what Tony Tyler (then editor of the NME - the punk/new wave bible) wrote about them. Or their entry in The Rough Guide To Rock. They sussed the way the wind was blowing and cashed in. I’m not disputing what they became.

They couldn't become punk before punk ðŸ˜‰
