“Did punk affect us?” says Jon Anderson, recalling the background to 1978’s Tormato. “Not really. I was a punk, James Cagney was a punk, The Who and The Kinks were punks, so there was always punk music.
“But when you get bands getting up onstage who can’t even play, and they just do crazy things to the audience, that’s what I call not real.”
The new Uncut is out now.
