5.0 out of 5 stars If you want historical accuracy, go to the library!, 9 Jul 2006
While I loved the reviews by "riddle" and "Mr. R.Kilshaw" below (genuinely funny, you guys should be writers!), I think they've missed the point of this song completely. The singer's perception of what it was like in '77 and '69 is certainly rose-tinted and inaccurate, but this is actually quite secondary - the key message is her general frustration with the values and complexities of society today, and a seeming lack of impetus to change them. "Punk Rocker" is a nothing more than a good, old-fashioned, "protest" song, dressed up for the nought-ies. If you want historical accuracy, go to the library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Superb, 6 Sep 2005
By Allan One (Lincolnshire, England) - See all my reviews
I haven't heard anything like "Punk Rocker" since Michelle Shocked recorded her first few albums.

This is refreshingly different and if there's any justice, this record and indeed the album, if it's to the same extremely high standard, should be a massive hit.

I'm don't aspire to be a music critic of any sort but may I say it is obvious, to me at least, that Sandi Thom is an extremely talented musician who clearly enjoys her work. From what I heard on the JW Show on Radio 2, Thom clearly revels in performing music and this passion & the associated musicianship are clearly communicated to the listener.

As an aside, indications are that after listening to the single, the production values are going to match Sandi's effort and this relaxed style of delivery and letting the music do the work can only add to the overall effect on the listener.

5.0 out of 5 stars refreshingly different, 28 Aug 2005
By jodi (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I first heard this single on the Johnny Walker show, it stopped my in my tracks..Sandi Thom,what a voice, I dont think I have ever listened to a track that made me come out in goose bumps! Lyrics have such a feel good factor, this single has to be a hit,
Cannot wait for the album! Is this what we have been waiting for, refreshingly different..
