4. - exploited

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....

residents
dead kennedies
minor threat
joneses
sex pistols

i hate top five lists. stop sucking john cusack's dick.

Punk is one thing, but I think punkrock is another... i.e. Bad Religion..I see them more as a punkrock band than a punk band(like Sex Pistols, Exploited etc...).
If I had to make a top 5 punkrock bands I think it would be:

1-Nofx
2-LagWagon
3-Craig's Brother (1st album is just too good)
4-No use for a name
5-Propagandhi

hmm top 5 isn't enough tough... :Graucho

Uh, the first one was called Frank Black.

Sure you're not thinking of Teenager of the Year? Now that's a fuckin album.

Love misfits

This is basically a list of my favourite bands, the ones with asterisks are the ones that could be considered punk and would fall into the topic of this thread.

1. *Operation Ivy
2. Mad Caddies
3. Sublime
4. *Dead Kennedys
5. *Rancid
6. *NOFX
7. *Propaghandi

The list could go on... Personally I cannot stand old english punk, e.g. Sex Pistols...

yeah, I forgot them too...damn good band, DrGuile turned me onto them, they used to get a fair amount of airplay in the old NetPond Radio days :)

Gotta love'em just for "Ska sucks" LOL

But the whole record (how to clean everything) is just AWSOME....Lyrics are damn good, so is the music...and they're only 3....The guitarist/singer does a hell of a job!

Fuck yeah, Mad Caddies rule. The last one was mtv pop punk shit, but Quality Softcore is genius.

Yeah, I am thinking of the self titled. Fantastic.

what? no Butthole Surfers? :eek7

I don't agree with you there, they had some great songs on that album... like Mary Melody, Days Away & Bridges... their next album is sposed to sound like Duck for Cover on steroids or some shit... can't wait for that one :thumbsup

Truly one of the best ever!

Oh man... it would have to be these (in no real order):

1) Minor Threat
2) Dead Kennedys
3) Misfits
4) Sex Pistols
5) The Ramones

PornAddict

Independent Worm Saloon was great.....and of course the classic Hairway To Steven

1) Pennywise
2) Strung Out
3) NOFX
4) Bad Religion
5) Offspring (old shit)

More Later, Can't think right now.

SNFU , The Clash,

2) Donny Osmond (Puppy Love was a wicked song)
3) Partridge Family (kicking riffs in I'll Meet You Halfway)
4) Mott The Hoople (albert is smart he's a genius)
