UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2004 Hey, So I'm setting up a "Punk Rock" mixer tomorrow between my fraternity and a sorority. Everyone's dressin' up, etc, blah blah... Anyhoo, I need soundtracks for this party, but I'm not really familiar with a lot of the bands from the eras. I plan on creating 2 CDs, each with 80 minutes (or like 18-21 tracks) of Punk Music. Can you guys gimme lists of good music... Some stuff I want on there... The Clash Rancid The Ramones (not punk, but cover the rock?) Sex Pistols Anti-Flag So....a good 40 songs or so that are not only good but MAINSTREAM or known of that would get a good response would help. Thanks!!!

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2004 I'm kind of confused ... are you looking for us to recommend songs only by the bands that you listed? Or songs by bands that are comparable to the ones that you listed? Let me know what you're looking for, and I'm sure a bunch of us could help you out.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2004 Dead Kennedys: Add "Holiday in Cambodia" to the ones referenced earlier. Sex Pistols: "New York" or "Revolution in the Classroom" are both pretty poppy and 'mainstream-friendly'. Black Flag: "TV Party", while not anywhere near their best work, is the most 'mainstream-friendly' and thus would go over better than a lot of their better songs. Descendents: "Der Wienershnitzel" was in the Pump Up the Volume (the Christian Slater is a DJ movie) so that might be recognizable. The Clash: You might want to go for their barely-punk-but-well-known songs like "Should I Stay or Should I Go" or "Rock the Casbah". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Maybe. I always forget the title of the song. I just know that's the chorus line (And I feel / And I feel that / Heaven is so far away). At least I didn't put down "Gotta Get Away," as I never understood the love for that song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2004 Don't get any Offspring. They're closer to hair metal than punk, I think. If it's a Greek mixer- Gang Green- Alcohol DK- Too Drunk to Fuck Meatmen- Glad I'm not a Girl Black Flag- Six Pack Buzzcocks- Orgasm Addict some other fun punk gems Adverts- Gary Gilmore's Eyes Bad Brains- Rock for Light Agent Orange- Bloodstains Exploited- I Believe in Anarchy Gorilla Biscuits- Biscuit Power any Ramones in honor of Johnny UK Subs- I Live in a Car try to stay away from straight edge bands (ie Minor Threat, SSD) because they'll make you feel guilty for getting drunk and trying to get in the Gamma Phi Betas pants. Also, avoid any super political bands (CRASS, most DK, Reagan Youth) because that will be a bummer. And, at the end of the night, when only the freaky sorority chicks remain, toss in some GG Allin!

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 Don't get any Offspring. They're closer to hair metal than punk, I think. You can say that about a lot of punk bands, though. Considering hair metal was about simplistic party riffs and the image more than the music itself, and a whole bunch of punk is just that...yeah. Also, look at The Dickies. A lot of their stuff could be considered hair metal, but for some reason, they're called punk. But yeah. Don't listen to this man. Be glad you got some Offspring, if you did, because chances are everybody would have heard the song and know a lot of the words already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
