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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That was going to be pretty much my comment, thanks for saying it for me. :)

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-.
