I'm with you, The Meatmen were great! Still listen to Tesco Vee all the time.

Anyone mention the Circle Jerks?

Lots of killer bands mentioned. I could never pick five.

We own a domain that gets emo type in traffic looking for a lame emo band (they own the dot net). A christian one at that. I think its time to educate some punks.

and now
the Bottom Five
go

GWAR!$@

1. The Ramones (for starting it all)
2. Sex Pistols (for getting away with it)
3. Cramps (for making it fun)
4. Big Black (for putting it in perspective)
5. GG Allin (for making it dangerous)

psst I did ;)


I remember a dream show with GWAR and The Meatment opening in a sweaty little club........totally insane and one of those great shows where the bands hang out with everyone, drinking beers afterwards......

i dont know how someone can like something so poor musically..
punk music simple hurt my ears

go listen something that is worth

And what would that be?

And on a side note. It always frightens me when someone cant hear the melody in punk.

GG Allin was crap. Fuckin sick fucker.

Anyhow, I have a couple additions:

GBH
Angry Samoans
Black Flag

Oldschool GREEN DAY takes on everyone. Then they released Nimrod, and died. Oldschool Offspring was great too. Now both those bands are pussy bands.

So many bands that should make the list

Antischism
Born Against
Christ on a Crutch
Dumpt
Old Agnostic Front
Operation Ivy
Circle Jerks
Teen Idles
Gorilla Biscuits
Suicidal Tendencies
Old Neurosis... Pain of Mind era
Descendents, not really my style but classics none the less.
Negative Approach
Cockney Rejects
Crass
Rudimentary Peni


so many

Oh, and Cock Sparrer and Bonecrusher.

I hit reply before I saw any of the other submissions....
So I'll see who matches up with me...

1. The Ramones
2. The Clash
3. Sex Pistols
4. Husker Du
5. Ian Dury
6. Iggy & The Stooges

Old School

No one's mentioned The Germs yet, so I'll add them.

ok fine...

Green River
Sonic Youth
Mother Love Bone
Melvins
and fuck, I almost forgot The Pixies.

Ack. Thats all mid 80s seattle grunge and pre grunge.

Your Old School list was at least punk ahahaha

Although I did like all of the above mentioned cept Sonic Youth. I even like all the Frank Black solo stuff. Esp the first one, name escapes me.

Punk fucking sucks. A bunch of green haired freaks who can't sing, can't play their instruments worth shit and they all sound the same and have the same annoying beat.


:ak47: :BangBang: PUNK MUSIC

Ok grampa. Settle down before you give yourself a heart attack.

Just my :2 cents:

at least get a dave mathews band
punk is no more than noise

melody? o yes... it does have a melody.. a melody that dont have more than 3 chords

What about Sham 69..they have been mentioned once in this thread... Jimmy Purcey is my neighbour!!

Trying to put them in order is impossible, so many good ones, but the ramones, and black flag definately have to be on there.

TarPy

dave mathews? does that guy even have a dick?

you haven't got a clue about punk.

How can you not like this music?
http://www3.sympatico.ca/martymar/ruby_soho.mp3

One of my favorites..

i never said dave mathews was punk . haha, big mistake. maybe your listening too mutch punk "music" .

fuck melody...I want anger and aggression (real anger and aggression, not that Limp Biskit bullshit) I want raw attitude....

if I want melody, I'll break out a Joe Satriani or Tony MacAlpine cd.....

agreed man :thumbsup

Big Black.

No shit? Yeah, I just picked this up at some local place. I got it for 20$. I was pleased.

1978 Polydor release.

Ask him if he has any vinly he wants to get rid of. ANTHING.

someone's been watching too much MTV....
punk is a fucking attitude, not a look........

Ok I will drop a note round courtsey of my friend Mark, I do not really speak to the bloke. Last time I saw him he was walking into his house with a gigantic Sea Gull he had found injured.

classic.

4. - exploited
5. - ramones


peace

Some interesting lists here... Mine:

Sex Pistols
Dead Kennedys
The Damned
Black Flag (with Rollins)
X-Ray Specs

¯Overscore¯

ROTFL - Dave Matthews! LOL. Now that is some funny shit.

I prefer Rock music and leather jackets ! Nice thread though !

Someone finally mentioned The Damned. :thumbsup

Damned Damned Damned was the first punk album I ever owned. Even it was 10 years after it was released.

I also liked chron gen. If anyone has any chron gen mp3's I would love to get a hold of them.

All my vinyl is in storage otherwise I'd post some pics :/
I have some great old school stuff.

I seen someone say old school greenday........
How the fuck can greenday be old school? What are you 18?
If you want an old school green day go listen to the band
Pinhead Gunpowder.

can't believe I left of The Damned....Captain Sensible rules it....I almost shit my pants the other day wen the local nu metal tradio station played "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" my favorite song from The Damned......

You are totally correct!
Punk Rules.. I was living in Huntington Beach, Ca. at
the height of the punk era.. I saw tons of great gigs..
I partied with my cousin (a local pot dealer) at the former
bassist from S/Distorations pad on the beach.

There was a lot of good bands, I liked MDC and Dead Kennedys
along with the ones you listed.

Nobody's has herd of the the Thug's Golden Filth ? One of the clasic punk albums :2 cents:

Yep..I met Animal from Anti Nowhere way back when. His on stage collapse in Vancouver was fantastic.

UK Subs
Early Stranglers
THE DAMNED - Machine Gun Ettiquette
Joy Division - Not really punk but in the same vein
Stiff Little Fingers
Fear

I could pick 100 more. Those were the days.

I feel sorry for the kids today, all they have is this gay poseur Limp Offspring Snoop corporate BS. How the world has changed.

yup, sadder still....the guys in the Offspring are buying mansions while Tesco Vee is probably having to shoot up and worship Satan in a small run down one bedroom apartment and gets the occasional blow job from a punk girl with a tongue pierce.....

BTW I have to mention that this new band The Hives that everyone raves about are nothing but a two bit rip off of Metal Urbain.

here is my other top 5...
1. subhumans
2. clash
3. screaching weasles
4. the queers
5. exploited

Anything that appears on MTV is not punk, it is now the realm of Top 40.

Punk is not at the mall. Punk is not a 16 year old girl with Blink written on her backpack.

Nobody likes Bad Religion ?

I like, but havent liked anything they did after Suffer.

Bad Religion are gods. One of the few punk bands that has actually managed to evolve their sound in a way that it's not cliched. Love that band.

All sound the same? Are you deaf, or just stupid? :winkwink:
Take it from me, there are very few genres of music i don't listen to. My musical tastes are broad. Anything from blues to classical. Hell, i was listening to my John Williams CD just yesterday (Classical guitarist, amazing stuff). You might not like punk music, but to say it all sounds the same is just stupid.

damn, I forgot my own musical forrays into punk music :)

The Corpse Phuckers (actually we were closer to grind and speed than pure punk)
Fascination
The Retard Nuns
Sadistic Intent

Bloody War Pigs From Hell was pure speed metal, so doesn't really count; Innocent Rage and Strange Ways were my forray into hair metal....
