Guest Insanityman Posted March 17, 2002 Report Posted March 17, 2002 In no order what so ever. My favorite of all the bands... Anti-Flag Rancid The Ramones Dropkick Murphys Bad Religion Yeah... my favorites. Knowing me just waking up I forgot a dookieload.
Guest redbaron51 Posted March 17, 2002 Report Posted March 17, 2002 Meh....Punk isn't my favourite genre, but there is some punk I like. Fugazi Dead Kennedys Ramones Sex Pistols Sum 41
Guest LooseCannon Posted March 17, 2002 Report Posted March 17, 2002 Bad Religion Avail The Dwarves Operation Ivy Pre-Rollins Black Flag Circle Jerks Fear Jawbreaker Misfits J Church Descendents
Guest goodhelmet Posted March 17, 2002 Report Posted March 17, 2002 Rancid anything after that is just ear candy. I don't know where you would classify Social Distortion, but they are another favorite.
Guest Zero_Cool Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 Punk isn't exactly my thing but... The Bouncing Souls Goldfinger Rancid
Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 S Club 7 Destiny's Child N.W.A.
Guest goodhelmet Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 "S Club 7 Destiny's Child N.W.A." Que?
Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 seemed like a good answer at the time:( seriously my favorite punk band would have to definitely be Weezer.
Guest converge241 Posted March 18, 2002 Report Posted March 18, 2002 op ivy bad religion misfits DK afi the hanson brothers crass meatmen
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 The Misfits The Ramones DropKick Murphys Local H (sorta punk) Penis Flytrap And one of the best hardcore punk bands ever... THE FREEZE
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 I'm more into the EMO side of punk: Jimmy Eat World Vandals Lagwagon And Local H is more "Stoner Rock" then they are punk.
Guest Cataclysm911 Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 Green Day Billy Idol The Ramones Billy Idol was "punk" before it was cool. Green Day are punk in my eyes, thus the explaination for my answers.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 Rancid NOFX Rocket from the crypt the Hives Old Green Day Guttermouth Me first and the gimme gimmes No use for a name some Offspring Misfits weezer (kinda punk) AFI Descendents Swingin Utters Some Lagwagon (i think they can be a little hit n miss) And then more on the ska side o stuff (Reel big fish, Mad caddies, Goldfinger, save ferris etc)
Guest dilk bathoon Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 the hives the ramones 71 gaps sex pistols the vandals fugazi plus while their not one of my favorites, i'm seeing NOFX live in winnipeg next week. i heard they suck live.
Guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 Y'know, some people would say that being on MTV sorta disqualifies your band from being punk. I am definitely one of those people. Do the letters D.I.Y. mean anything to anyone here? I mean, you can go to a NOFX show and pay $20 or you can go to 4 or 5 underground shows for $4-$5 a pop and see bands that are playing music because they love the sound not becase they're getting paid. In my view that's a lot more inspiring than seeing some icon on a 20-foot stage singing about how poor and punk rock he is while rolling around in a big pile of $100 bills and naked groupies. As for the bands, I would recommend (among others): Total Fury (from Japan) Strike Anywhere Infest (old LA band, best hardcore ever!) Doom 9 Shocks Terror (they're wicked into wrestling, too) Misery ...and so forth...
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 19, 2002 Report Posted March 19, 2002 New "punk" isn't really punk at all, but I like it. It's punk energy, but the lyrics actually have a little depth to them. Other then the old punk where it was just "No future, fuck you, blah blah blah"...the newer stuff is cool cause the energy's there, and the guys actually learned to play their instruments... But Blink's new cd was crap...it sounds too boyband for me, mainly what pissed me off about it was Tom saying in an interview "this is our punkiest album ever"...when it in fact was thier most MVT album ever. Ah well...that's my worthless take on the whole thing
Guest Anteater Posted March 20, 2002 Report Posted March 20, 2002 HOLY SHIT....I can't believe someone mentioned Strike Anywhere. That's kickass. I saw them here with Avail and Ann Beretta last year, and the just about upstaged Avail, but not quite.. Anyway, Since I'm a product of the "Gainesville Scene".... Hot Water Music Small Brown Bike Avail Explosivo Dropkick Murphys Kid Dynamite Grade Alkaline Trio Face to Face Saves the Day (so I like pussy emo, sorry) As far as Blink goes, they are making a shit-ton of money, but lost all the credibility they had from Chesire and Dude Ranch. Who am I to judge? Shit, I might imagine most of us would take the money, too. Personally, I think we all might want to wait and see what this new little side-band of theirs (I've forgotten the name, but Travis and Tom are in it with 2 other guys) sounds like. Supposedly, its supposed to sound like some of their older stuff.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted March 20, 2002 Report Posted March 20, 2002 getting too big can really hurt a good punk band. Green Day are pushing it nowadays anyway, But now they play stadiums it really kills them.
Guest Kinetic Posted March 20, 2002 Report Posted March 20, 2002 Seventeen replies and not one mention of The Clash. Gee, guys, they're only the best fucking punk band ever. They're only responsible for essentially setting the template for every decent punk band that's come since. They only then transcended that by releasing "London Calling," one of the greatest albums to be released in the last thirty years. Unbelievable.
Guest LooseCannon Posted March 20, 2002 Report Posted March 20, 2002 Good Call Kinetic. I feel horrible for overlooking the Clash. I forgot Stiff Little Fingers too, but I don't feel so bad about it.
Guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Posted March 21, 2002 The Buzzcocks were even better than the Clash, and the Sonics were even better than them. And the Ramones were the best ever. And, um, ahem, what about the Stooges? I really used to like the Freeze a lot, but now they sound kind of boring to me. When I get in the mood for spazzy hardcore, I'm much more likely to put on my Flag of Democracy album. And deep down, I think it was really those bands that artsy-upped punk that really transcended the genre. People will still be listening to the early albums of Public Image Ltd., Wire, Sonic Youth, the Birthday Party, the Fall, Mission of Burma, and Gang of Four long after the flavor-of-the-month has faded into nothing more than nostalgia. Oh, and you don't know punk till you've heard sixties punk. Back From the Grave and Pebbles-type stuff far out-punks any band with creative hairstyles.
Guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Posted March 21, 2002 Oh god, I forgot Chrome, who might be the best of them all.

That was going to be pretty much my comment, thanks for saying it for me.
Guest Insanityman Posted March 21, 2002 Report Posted March 21, 2002 Heh, funny I did forgot the Clash, and Operation Ivy which I had a burned CD I'm now bobbing my head like an idiot to. But anyways, -just started to listen to Operation Ivy- I'm not that great fan of the Clash or the Sex Pistols... thought I listen to the Sex Pistols more. But they did set the framework, etc for punk. -Ramones too-.
Guest Mystery Eskimo Posted March 25, 2002 Report Posted March 25, 2002 Ramones are v good too. Modern day punk bands just aren't punk.
