sex pistols, misfits, old school stuff like that. the ramones. the guys that had attitude in droves and a good old school punk "nothing is sacred" credo. not the stuff thats out today. thats stuff that some record exec behind a desk realized he could get rich on by finding some rich white kids to make into limp wristed pop-punk sell outs.

There are no punk rock bands anymore.  It's all emo, screamo, hardcore, blah blah blah and all that sounds the same.

actually... your idea of punk is definately the poser kind. if you were to go to a indie style record store and ask where the punk was, like "green day" and "blink 182" they would probably smirk a little bit, because it's funny that you think that that is punk. they would want to laugh, but i would hope they wouldn't because that would be mean. \n\nreal punk is more like the bands "rancid" and "against me", which i'm sure you would NOT like if you like green day and blink 182.

i am actually going to list band names because all of these bands have an eclectic selection. \n\n-Have you hear of the Pretenders?  They are really good.  They are actaully close to being punk rock but i love them and based on some of your other questions i would guess that you would too.\n-Also...i am sure that you like Black Sabbath and Ozzy but just incase you haven't listened to them recently or ever i suggest diary of a mad man (killer guitar- you'd love it)\n-i love the band boston....some of there stuff is big but hey you never know.\n-the kinks are good.\n-Teenage fan club is one of my favorites (kind of sounds like early George Harrison)\n-blur\n-CAKE \n-Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)\n- XTC\n\nyeah there are plenty more...but i don't want to bore you.\n\nBy the way i liked your chuck norris joke. (very funny)

Emo and Punk, my fave song is "I write sins not trajedies" by Panic at the disco

it's about forgetting things that have gone wrong and it might be about drugs. also i think that all songs are about what you want them to be. and remember this is supposed to be a punk rock opera so the whole CD is a story.

so do you hate green day because they are fake punk? or because they generally are just boring and overrated?\n\nbecause im confused, on how you can dislike a band for some people calling them punk when in your opinion, they arent. maybe you would find it easier to like them if you just listened to the music instead of comparing them to what some people lable them as.\n\ni dont like green day, their new stuff it incredibly repetative, not original in the least and quite frankly very boring to listen to. they are (imo) very overrated and clog up peoples minds to thinking that there is no band better than them when there are so many bands which deserve the credit instead.

The clash- "london calling" (without a doubt the best punk or any other band ever to play)\n\nThe Damned-"The Black album" (not strictly a punk album but by christ a punk band)\n\nThe Dead Kennedys- "Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables" (about to lose the 10 points here....... About the ONLY american punk band that is in the same league as the british punk bands..All you green day/ramones/iggy just fuck off)

Many are going to give the typical stock answer, I am no different. I suppose those old enough to have grown up when this genre stood for what it was originally meant to stand for may have something more worthwhile to offer.\n\nAnyway, my answer is (without a doubt) The Clash.\n\nThe reason why, is that to me (someone who didn't grow up during the time that the punk genre wasn't oversaturated with a popular flair) The Clash seemed to embody and express a voice for a culture that individuals today can only dream of lightly gripping the full concept of. This is something one can discern by listening to their work. The passion is simply undeniable.\n\nTheir inclination to bend the rules and established conventions of genres when they created a blend of sounds, to me at least, stands out as an example of what it must've been like for artists of that era to produce music that they enjoyed playing and that wasn't placed onto the market with the intentions of force-feeding ideals down the throats of the public. \n\nIf you didn't lean in their direction, you could at least enjoy what you were listening to. Now, an individual cannot listen to a particular genre of music without being expected to immediately fall in line with the general conception of ideals that the public as a whole believes to be attached to it.

I can't say which one is my favorite, but if you're going to make me choose, I'll go with The Empire Strikes First or the Process of Belief. This is because I think they do a great job with their songs informing people of the world during the release of that particular album. \n\nIt's great, influential punk, and it's none of that screaming sloppy punk everyone loves to mock.

They're pretty good, but they tend to be a little more instrumental then I care for - from what I've heard.\n\nThey've got a good punk sound, but they are also tryin to pull off a little rock/punk/instrumental hybrid there!\n\nThey're a little softer then I care for - I like the traditional punk stuff!

yeah. i love reggae and i sometimes like hardcore punk. i think these two styles are mixed in their music, and i really like listening to their songs. i have never heard reggae tunes in hardcore punk before...

I love Good Charlotte.  Their music is ubeat and unique and I love punk rock!  Joel is my favourite member of the band but they're all cool.

Have I ever seen a punk? I grew up in the 70's! Cut my teeth on Fear, Circle Jerks, DK, & Black Flag. This crap today is anything but punk. Rent the movie "The Decline of the Western Civilization" for great shots of Punks & even greater music.
