Goud van OuD: Dr Feelgood (Wilko Johnson)

Dr. Feelgood, opgericht in Canvey Island in Essex in de vroege jaren 70, speelde no-nonsense R&B gekenmerkt door Johnson's speelse riffs en trillende gitaarpartijen. Hij schreef verschillende nummers voor hun eerste twee albums, Down by the Jetty uit 1974 en Malpractice uit 1975 , die een grote invloed hadden op de Sex Pistols, de Jam, Gang of Four en generaties Britse punk- en postpunkmuzikanten. In de Verenigde Staten is de invloed van Johnson hoorbaar in Blondie, de Ramones en Richard Hell's Voidoids, die allemaal Dr. Feelgood als inspiratiebron noemden.
