favorite punk band

[shaolin_hendrix]

what is your fav. punk band?

[andre]

You need to have an "other" selection. I picked Iggy Pop but my favorite band would have to be X

[Sandus]

You need a better list (no offense).

I'm gonna say Bad Religion (though there are many choices)

[Abraxas]

Yeah mate, hardly any of my favourites are on there. Black Flag, the Misfits, Bad Religion, Descendants, Dag Nasty no where to be seen. :cry:

[Paratus]

Classic punk, The Ramones. Not a lot of the new 'everyone sounds the same' punk of today. :D

[adouglasmhor]

Bigger list I love the clash but where were fugazi, stiff little fingers and the stranglers. And yes I have bought music since 1978 before anyone asks. :)

[iamraisen]

i like the silent ones ;) punk is one of the only genres of music i dont like as a rule. though i have two albms at my house. 'pennybridge pioneers' by millencollin and a bad relgion CD, the most well known one which name escapes me

[Dr NinjaBellydance]

And where is The Legendary 'Snuff'?! :woo: :woo:
Out of your list I'd probably go for 'Dead Kennedys' or 'Sex Pistols'
'Yeah yeah yeahs' dont count.... :p ;)

[Sgt_Major]

Went Ramines, but yeah def need the Stiffs in there!

[YODA]

From your list - The Ramones for sure.

My fave Punk Band at the moment though are "Charlie Sez"

[jimmytofu]

..no Minor Threat!!?

Actually, the best punk band ever (imo) was Negative Approach - early 80's, Detroit.

[iamraisen]

..no Minor Threat!!?


i forgot ! now i do actually like them :D

[Dave Rees]

I voted for The Ramones on the list, but my all time fave band to come out of punk would have to be The Stranglers, brilliant live & every album is/was different.

[Ghost Frog]

Rancid.... I worship the ground they walk on. :D

[YODA]

Rancid.... I worship the ground they walk on. :D
You'd maybe like Charlie Sez then.

Think Rancid/ Pennywise hybrid :D

[bigd]

rancid rules :bang:

[JohnnyX]

Albertos Y Los Trios Paranois once did a very good Punk. :D

[Taiji Butterfly]

I voted sex pistols but I have to say it's probably a dead heat between Crass and the Subhumans for me....:woo: :woo:
N :yeleyes: :yeleyes: :yeleyes: :yeleyes: :woo: :D :D :D

[RobP]

Has to be the Pistols.

The Clash? Public schoolboys.

How about The Damned or the Cockney Rejects?

[Dave Rees]

The Rejects YES! Angelic Upstarts we're great aswell.

[YODA]

Anyone remember Nasty Nasty by 999?

Ah my misspent youth :D

[Colin Linz]

There is a few on that list I like, but my favorite would be The Stiff Little Fingers from Ireland.

[blessed_samurai]

I'd have to go with Bad Religion, but there's so many good ones...Exploited, Agnostic Front, Ramones, Misfits, Skatenigs.

[Eero]

Dead Kennedys

I don't agree on all they said, but they did have some good points.

[Yossarian75]

Dead Kennedys, brilliant bad mood music. What about Joy Division?

[wild_pitch]

then

minor threat, fugazi, stooges, motor city 5, the cramps, new york dolls, misfits.

now

death from above 1979, tiger army, public enemy (yes i consider public enemy a punk band), mclusky.

[SoKKlab]

The Tar Babies (Early stuff)
Septic Death
Suicidal Tendencies (1st LP before their twiddlecore phase)
The Wipers (til about 1986)

Poison Idea
The Melvins
Rites Of Spring
Dag Nasty
The Germs

D.R.I (1st ep/Lp)
Void
Husker Du

The Stupids
Amebix
I Refuse It

Thousands more, depends upon what your definition of 'Punk' is...

[toothpaste100]

OMGZ what about ASHLEY SIMPSON AND GOOD CHARLOTTE!!!!!!1111111

[shaolin_hendrix]

Bad Religion is too pop for my taste.

[Albert]

I like The Clash. I like really heavy punk more than classic punk though, bands like Leftover Crack.

[slipthejab]

WTF?!?!?

What kind of list is that?!?!?

Here's some no list should be without:

Bad Brains (Banned in DC is a great album to start with)

Circle Jerks

Firehose

Sub Humans

JFA

Wasted Youth

Minor Threat

FEAR

The Vandals

Half Off

No For An Answer

Judge

Uniform Choice

7 Seconds

.... there are hundreds more.


Though the line between 'punk' and so. cal hardcore starts to blur a bit.

[David]

And yes I have bought music since 1978 before anyone asks. :)
I wish I had :(

[wild_pitch]

i think some people are mixing up *hardcore* bands and *punk* bands.

minor threat, black flag, and those kinds of bands are great, but they are a hardcore bands.

imho the difference is punk bands are a lot more about looking stylish than making music, hardcore bands are the opposite.

[slipthejab]

imho the difference is punk bands are a lot more about looking stylish than making music, hardcore bands are the opposite.

I think there is very undefined line between a lot of 'punk' and 'hard core'.

Sub Humans, Crass and others like them were definitely a form of social commentary. Most definately the Dead Kenedy's were. Jello Biafra kept it up long after the DK's were off the scene.

The Dickies, Cirle Jerks, Agent Orange, The Germs, The Stooges are great bands and would be considered punk.

Granted bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag, Fugazi etc... came on the scene much later than did a lot of the punk bands from the UK. The time/social/culture setting they came from was also vastly different.

Shonen Knife and Lip cream are two good Japanese punk bands. But again even later on the scene.

[slipthejab]

And what about the band with the AWOL navy seal... lol... great band..

The Cro Mags.
