Music - Punk

[Jonathan M.]

Yeah like I said, I was only naming 5. I like most of the other bands you mentioned too.

How 'bout everyone list your top 10 favorite punk bands of all time. (New school, old school, pop-punk, <insert genre>-punk, anything.)

[Wetzel]

Check out 20 Years of Dischord. It is an AMAZING box set. Dischord is a local label in DC and has been recording stuff from short lived (and longer lived) bands for a long time.


*edit*
The B&N page dosn't list the full track listing. The full track listing can be found here.

I prefer Emo and punk.... but emo more....to name a few( Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, From Autumn to Ashes, Story of the Year, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!! )

Ska( Less than jake, Mustard Plug, Atom and his Package)

ALSO HEAVY METAL!!!( UNEARTH, LAMB OF GOD, PANTERA, HATEBREED, A DOZEN FURRIES)

[JamizzleHavok13]

I listen to stuff like AFI, Thrice, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Minor Threat, and Tiger Army, among other non-punk bands.

[Joshua May]

Tsunami Bomb is my #1 favorite band, I'll be seeing them next Friday with Flogging Molly, and yes, I will be missing one night of the build. *tear*

I also like Rise Against, Bad Religion, Green Day, among others.

EDIT: How could I have forgotten them, Social Distortion is awesome too.

Lol, I'm gonna try and catch Flogging Molly when they come up to Boston, the night before our regional starts, I haven't seen them live in almost 3 years!!...and Social D is playing the day after we ship our bot....soooo just add another late night up to the tally I guess.

I'll toss out a few punk bands I listen to: Social Distortion, Stiff Little Fingers, One Man Army, Rancid, The Bouncing Souls, The Swinging Utters, The Pinkerton Thugs, Kicked in the Head

I also listen to a lot of ska and irish too.

[Jonathan M.]

Lot's of good bands mentioned. I love the reference to The Pinkerton Thugs, I haven't heard anything from them in a while. Social D rocks! DropKick Murphys is my favorite Irish sounding band. I got the new Flogging Molly CD not that long ago, and I liked the other two better, but it's still good.

I've been listening to Authority Zero, and NoFX - Pump up the Valuum, a lot lately.

Flogging Molly is great live
(Bad Religion is really good, too. )
and Tsunami Bomb!? Yer so freakin' lucky!

Guttermouth, Bikini Kill, Bodyjar, Pretty Girls Make Graves are my favs. I guess I'm more of an indie/lo-fi kinda guy

Social Distortion has made some incredible music. I saw them (with Tiger Army and The Explosion, who were also great) last fall in San Fransisco at The Warfield Theater. I was sore for a day or two afterwards, but man... it was totally worth it.

[DarkJedi613]

I like some of the older stuff - Bad Religion, Pennywise, The Clash, The Ramones, etc.

I hate all the newer stuff though.

[Jay W.]

So this is that punk thread Jon was telling me about. . .

Yeah, I like punk too...the music (guitar rythems, bass, drums) is awesome, it sounds great. My top few are probably...NoFX, The Offspring, Pennywise, Rise Against, Strung Out, Greenday, and Millencolin. Ska is great too..Mad Caddies, Catch 22, Mustard Plug, and of course...Sublime!

[Jonathan M.]

Yeah, but punk was also influenced by American bands such AS: The Velvet Underground, which spawned from the Fugs. New York Dolls were probably one of the very first punk bands. They came about around the same time as The Ramones, and well we all know that The Romones by todays standards are 'pop-punk'. But who cares about standards, punk isn't really about rules or labels.

As for the Sex Pistols, you can't call them sell outs because they're knd of like N'Sync, created to be the next big thing. And they were. I still like their music, cause it sounded awesome, but yes, they were fake. (So in other words this whole thing I'm saying is.... Punk really came from the US.. not so much the UK).. That's all debatable though.

Old school Bands that rock that you should listen to if you want to become educated in Punk:
Minor Threat,
The Varukers,
Rudimentary Peni,
Social D,
DK

Influencial Pop-Punk bands that rock, (Not like Simple Plan/ Good Charlotte):
The Descendents,
The Ramones,
The Buzzcocks
Other bands that start with THE

Thank You,
