Guest Sebastian_the_Bastard Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 Who likes punk rock? I think punk rock is pimp, I love it. I couldn't live without it. Love, Sebastian the Bastard
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 When it's good, it's really good...but when it's bad, it's downright unlistenable. I can listen to it, and I find myself liking it more and more each week (mainly because of overexposure from all of my friends, who are punkers)*. DropKick Murphys own all. * = Being one of the only metalheads in a sea of punkers is a hard thing to do...
Guest Invader3k Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 I love punk...have loved it ever since '99 or so when I first got into the Ramones via "Ramonesmania". I even hosted my own punk rock show on UW-Whitewater's campus radio station this past year. Some of my favorite groups: - Ramones - Sex Pistols - The Clash (gotta have the holy trinity at the top) - Dead Kennedys (they're going on tour again, but without Jello..what's the point?) - Rancid - Social Distortion (saw them last Monday at the Rave in Milwaukee, it was a great show) - Nofx - Misfits (classic stuff is great, but newer stuff like "Famous Monsters" is pretty enjoyable too). - AFI (great sound...love the vocals. Put on a great live show too, which is what got me into them). I guess I tend to like the older groups more than newer stuff...a lot of the newer groups just seem too derivative and unoriginal.
Guest redbaron51 Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 Ramones and Fugazi are probably the only punk bands I listen too, the odd time Black Flag.
Guest Insanityman Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 It's my favorite type of music, with grunge/alt. coming in a close second. I went to Sonicnet one day searching for some HARDCORE~! Blink 182 music (sarcasm) and then I began to listen to real punk, then the classic. Then I was hooked. My favorites? Rancid, Anti-Flag, Operation Ivy (more of ska but whatever), Dropkick Murphys, Misfits, and etc.
Guest Sebastian_the_Bastard Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 Lagwagon is the best punk band ever. Lagwagon is pimp as hell. Love, Sebastian the Bastard
Guest saturnmark4life Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 I've never thought much to lagwagon. when they're good, they're great, but some songs are just crap. i think Nofx is the greatest punk band ever. i also like rancid misfits guttermouth mad caddies swingin utters AFI descendents
Guest Coffin Surfer Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 I also like punk. Fav. Bands: Misfits Clash Dead Kennedys At the Drive In Hot Water Music Boy Sets Fire Bad Brains Black Flag Television Minutemen Dickies Descendents Stooges
Guest Sebastian_the_Bastard Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 Here are some punk bands that I think are pimp... Juliana Theory Thursday Taking Back Sunday Lagwagon Bad Astronaut Fenix TX Bad Religion Box Car Racer Saves the Day and some emo and pop-punk... that's pimp too Blink182 Simple Plan Rufio Starting Line Dashboard Confessional Green Day Get Up Kids Ataris Love, Sebastian the Bastard
Guest Sebastian_the_Bastard Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 Hell.... how could I forget Cursive and Hot Rod Circuit? Cuz they're some pimp ass bitches. Love, Sebastian the Bastard
Guest chirs3 Posted July 5, 2002 Report Posted July 5, 2002 Some people say Green Day is punk, some say not. I don't think it's punk, but I'm not sure what else to call it. Anywho, if we're allowing them as punk, they're my favorite. Other than that, very few punk bands consistently entertain me. They each have one or two good songs only. It's odd because Punk is becoming one of my favorite music types to listen to, but there's no one band I really like.
Guest Kinetic Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 Here are some punk bands that I think are pimp... Lagwagon is pimp as hell. Cuz they're some pimp ass bitches. Find a new adjective, you bastard.
Guest EricMM Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 I associate myself heavily with Goldfinger, New Found Glory, MxPx, Some Blink 182, Greenday, some NoFX... Pop Punk I suppose. ESPECIALLY Goldfinger. Is it somewhat Ska? I dunno. But I know Carlita is like one of my favorite songs. Although I listen to a LOT LOT LOT of Tool so who knows
Guest Nevermortal Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 AFI, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Tiger Army, and Ramones OWN ALL.
Guest Zero_Cool Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 Let me make up my list... Goldfinger Less Than Jake (a bit ska) Flogging Molly The Bouncing Souls
Guest Syxx Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 Punk is the greatest form of music out there my faves include -Nofx -Lagwagon -Pennywise -Gob -d.b.s. -Jugheads Revenge -Green Day -Offspring -Guttermouth -Another Joe -Goldfinger -Rancid -A.F.I. -MxPx
Guest Sebastian_the_Bastard Posted July 6, 2002 Report Posted July 6, 2002 Here are three bands that are nothing less than pimp that no one has mentioned... Finch Bad Astronaut Juliana Theory Any fans? Love, Sebastian the Bastard
Guest What? Posted July 7, 2002 Report Posted July 7, 2002 Well, just to name a few... Dropkick Murphy's (Irish Pride, MOTHA FUCKA!!) Misfits The Clash (except Combat Rock...what a piece of crap) Sex Pistols Pennywise Stalin's War (NorCal band. When you're in Santa Cruz or that area, check 'em out)
Guest Karnage Posted July 7, 2002 Report Posted July 7, 2002 Surprised no one has mention Millencolin yet, they are awesome.
Guest BottleRocket Posted July 7, 2002 Report Posted July 7, 2002 Dropkick Murphy's (Irish Pride, MOTHA FUCKA!!) Too bad their current vocalist is of Scottish decent...Oi! Personally, I think they really lost something when Mike McColgan decided he'd rather be a fireman. After the first 7"s, "Boys On The Docks," and "Do Or Die," I think the band's releases went dramatically downhill. I mean, their split with the Business was almost unlistenable. Al Barr was a better fit with The Bruisers and DKMs have now wandered off into pseudo-Pogues territory with their expanded, Ken Casey-controlled line-up. Spicy McHaggis? Give me a break...
Guest jtronx Posted July 7, 2002 Report Posted July 7, 2002 Please stop saying "pimp." Most of the newer pop-punk/emo stuff reminds me of music like Bread and the Carpenters, only not as threatening or powerful. I crewed a show last year with Saves the Day and Hot Rod Circuit. Saves the Day was pathetic, N'Sync could probably rock harder. HRC was great, though. Anyway, here's a random list of bands, following suit (where's my CD book...): Butthole Surfers Frogs Les Baton Rouge (from Portugal) Zounds Crimson Curse the Ex Dog Faced Hermans Nation of Ulysses 1.6 Band Daisy Chainsaw Rorschach Kiss It Goodbye Halfman Disassociate (who used to have fake-nWo shirts!) Assfactor 4 Asshole Parade Assfort Ass Spatula Assück Drop Dead Crossed Out Black Army Jacket Brutal Truth Boogie Down Productions Big Black Rapeman Shellac Boredoms Melvins ALICE DONUT~! Schlong Pain Teens Suran Song in Stag Black Flag Blatz Filth Rudimentary Peni Cows Crust Cherubs Festering Rinyanyons Sockeye Fat Day Dickies Spazz Hell No Hellnation Unwound A Minor Forest God Is My Co-Pilot Spitboy Xtatica Dead Kennedys Agent Orange Misfits Naked Raygun Bad Brains TSOL Teengenerate Behead The Prophet No Lord Shall Live Mukilteo Fairies Locust In/Humanity MDC BGK FYP The Pist Jasta 14 Brutally Familiar Mankind BORN AGAINST~!

Guest saturnmark4life Posted July 7, 2002 Report Posted July 7, 2002 jtronx, i wouldn't consider all of them punk but melivins and butthole surfers are fucking awesome. Do you frequent the 'surfers forum?
Guest Nezbyte Posted July 7, 2002 Report Posted July 7, 2002 I hate punk musically, i really do. Save for Misfits.
Guest evenflowDDT Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 What, no Minor Threat fans? Or even Damned? Good punk, like The Clash, is some of the best, most meaningful music. Unfortunately, the majority of punk is crap. And Green Day isn't punk, nor the Ramones. They're pop punk, which has even less of a good music to crap ratio
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 I don't count anything recent as punk, certainly not in the last 15 years. The best band EVER (Punk or not) = The Clash other good punk bands are the Sex Pistols and Stiff Little Fingers.
Guest jtronx Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 Yes, yes, yes. Stiff Little Fingers and the Damned (early stuff at least) rock. So do the Ruts and Minor Threat. And Green Day isn't punk, nor the Ramones. They're pop punk, which has even less of a good music to crap ratio The Ramones aren't punk? What? Saturnmark4life: I had no idea there even was a 'Surfers forum. I love how they have downloadable bootlegs on their site, though. Their internet radio station is good, too.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 yeah there's a link to the forum on the main page, full of fucked up people like me. And might i add, the ramones not punk? WHAT?
Guest evenflowDDT Posted July 8, 2002 Report Posted July 8, 2002 And Green Day isn't punk, nor the Ramones. They're pop punk, which has even less of a good music to crap ratio The Ramones aren't punk? What? Everyone always gives me that, but no, I don't think so. They're more punk than the pop punk bands of today because of their lyrical content, but the majority of their songs still had that poppy three-chord bounce to them and the perfect hooks that made them the first (and still one of the best) pop punk band. Notice I never said they weren't good just because they're pop punk instead of punk. That's why I don't like genre classification, because it seems everyone is biased towards or against certain genres instead of the bands themselves.

Give me a break... I actually really like "Sing Loud, Sing Proud" mainly because it was the first ACTUAL punk CD I had ever bought (before that, it was Blink 182 *ducks* and Green Day), but I keep hearing NOTHING but good things about "Do or Die" so I guess I'll pick that up next time I go to Wherehouse. And Spicy McHaggis is KING!! WHOO!! Ok, I can't back that up....although the "Spicy McHaggis Jig" is good for a humor song, IMO.

Notice I never said they weren't good just because they're pop punk instead of punk. That's why I don't like genre classification, because it seems everyone is biased towards or against certain genres instead of the bands themselves. But when the term "punk" was first coined it referred less to the musical style itself and more to the attitude behind the music. The Talking Heads, the Patti Smith Group, and Blondie were all early "punk" bands that wouldn't be considered as such by today's standards. You can retro-label the Ramones as "pop-punk" since they don't fit exactly into the current definition of the term, but I think that would do a disservice to the spirit of movement. The Ramones are punk-- no sub-genre or explanation should be needed.
