Barely saw any really good bands. Many props to those who listed actual punk bands like GG, 4 skins and that Oi dude.
Ska definitely isn't punk. It's what reggae derived from. Although you would think of it being vice-versa. I have OLD OLD OLD Marley albums when he was playing ska before reggae was even a twinkle in Peter Tosh's eye. I don't consider myself all that punk but I know what is and isn't punk. I saw someone mention Cursive and Thursday and stuff. I'd consider them more indie than anything. That's the way to go. No band usually sounds like another. But then you have the wannabes like Riddlin Kids or some shit pop-punk-emo-core-core i'm sad whimper listen to me cry-core bands. Good Charlotte is sadly considered punk by all these teenie bopping girls and frat jocks. I don't get it. That's like calling Evanescence death metal or something. I like grind and speed stuff. Redchord and converge, Dillinger Escape Plan. blah blah. Nobody mentioned Against All Authority. Although some of their stuff is Ska-like I'd consider it more punk than anything else. But Avril has got to be punk numero uno. JAY KAY!! HAHA!

You sound like one of my skinny tie and porkpie hat friends who ramble on and on about ska being the roots of reggae... fuck, you can't mention a reggae band with out one of them barking out that Bob M was in a ska band before he got all nappy. As far as my favorite punk bands go The Clash Youth Brigade Naked Raygun Husker Du Replacements SNFU Black Flag Anit-Heros Cock Sparrer I can't think of any bands within the last 10 years that I have liked for more than a week. I guess the Dropkicks, but that was 93-99 , not that new crap their pouring out. And for the skinhead record!!! The Templars are by far the most BORING band I have ever had the displeasure to see. The 4 track recording and sweet home alabama riffs can only go so far. I paid over a grand to bring them to town once and the fuckin place empitied while they were on stage. Skinheads traved from three states to see them and then left halfway through their set.

punk:
fugazi at the drive-in hot water music sleater-kinney burning airlines blood brothers cursive emo: planes mistaken for stars thursday the get up kids my chemical romance i had to add my list because a lot of newer bands are getting left out. there's too much ancestor worship in punk rock. you don't have to have slavish imitations of old punk rock just to be punk. punk rock can go in new directions, but the punk rock attitudes aren't making it very easy. i think it's best to keep punk fresh musically, so it doesn't become obsolete politically/socially.

I'd have to say The Get Up Kids. I <i>know</i> they're not punk in the true sense of the word, and I do appreciate old-school punk, but they have a phenomenal sound, and their lyrics are very sincere. If they don't qualify, I'd have to say Lagwagon or No Motiv.

 recently ive been listening to a lot of stuff from a band from lawrence kansas (jayhawk country) by the name of "salt the earth"...mp3.com calls them post-hardcore, nonetheless they're awesome...

I'm so glad someone said Big D and the Kids Table. You can't find a better Ska-Punk band than Big D. Yeah, Ska-Punk, because Ska ties in with punk, it IS punk, so shut your holes.
Also, go get the Mars Volta Record. It's a record. not just 13 songs on a cd. A real record. Awesome. I love it. They may not be "punk" and may not have been around in the 70's and 80's, but a least they aren't a poser band, which is something you can't say for a lot of these bands on this list. Sorry for being so mean, but I'm a big ska fan and it hurts to hear what these "punks" have to say about it. P.S. Stop saying Social D just to sound cool.  |

whew...this might take a while:
Propaghandi Refused (Are fucking gods) 30 foot fall Lower Class Brats The Exploited Black Flag (Rollins is the man) Fugazi At the Drive-In (more experimental post punk than anything, but they still rock) Minor threat Wizo Reel big Fish Dropkick Murphys Flogging Molly Bad Religion (their old stuff with bret gurewitz) As far as Hardcore goes: Poison the Well Shai Hulud (only the albumn "hearts once nourished with hope and compassion) In Pieces (for those more sensitive moments) Division Zero (they are local but they are great) Rites of Spring Refused (had to mention them twice) Bands people consider punk that aren't: AFI (their old stuff is okay, but new stuff blows dead bears) Mest Blink 182 Avril Lavigne New Found Glory (lead singer was actually the guitar player for Shai Hulud, wierd huh) Good Charlotte Simple Plan Dashboard Confessional Alkaline Trio The Gettup Kids Taking Back Sunday Thrice Thursday Rufio The Juilana Theory Yellowcard Finch or any other "emo" or pop punk shit. Go ahead, test my musical knowledge.

Social Distortion
Dead Kennedys Dropkick Murphys US Bombs Operation Ivy Rancid The Bosstones The Slackers (ska) The Pietasters Hepcat And I have to insert NOFX in there as well... Really, you could almost buy any CD from Hellcat Records, and you'll be smiling. A lot of other bands I like are Swedish, with Swedish lyrics, so you probably wouldn't come across them anyway...

A lot of great bands listed...
I was really into an Ottawa band called furnaceface... They were great... For Ska I'd also list the Montreal band Me, Mom and Morgentaler.

REAL Punk.
It began with the Ramones... Progressed through the Sex Pistols... And died after The Clash, Black Flag & The Dead Kennedys broke up... THAT'S real punk.

I guess I would be considered a second (or maybe third) wave punk fan. I picked up most of what I liked between 86 and 89, before being sucked of into rural hell and not being able to keep in touch with anything.
Most of what I had was copied tapes which eventually all broke. I then went off to college and was learning about all kinds of new music, and gradually picking up older punk stuff that I knew I wanted. I'm a lot more picky now, so it's intersting to find out what was really good stuff and what was crap I just liked because I was a kid (A moment a lot of you will have in 15 years when you pull out your Staind or whatever the "hard" people listen to now). Most of the good and bad has been mentioned. Some of my faves were The Dead Kennedys The Misfits Minor Threat One of the bad, that I can't help loving is The Dead Milkmen. I don't know if it'd because they were one of my first concerts or what, but I'll listen to them every once in awhile much to my fiancee's chagrin. In somewhat the save vein, the only recent punk act I have really been able to get into has been Atom and His Package. I guess the last Sleater-Kinney CD came out swinging and much more punk than their other stuff. Or I guess a better way to put it might be that they jumped sub-genres |

The way I see it, there's Old Punk and New Punk.
The Old Punk was the best, bands like the Sex Pistols and the Stooges. And you have to give credit to the pop-sounds of the Ramones and the Clash. New Punk is devided in two categories: 1.Real Punk- stuff thats more or less screeming out a political speeches with a detuned guitar, it's more about propaganda and/or selling records than music. 2.Pop Punk- Pretty much everything that doesn't fit into real punk. Bands that just play the same four chords on every song. These bands all have the same sound, there are different types, but they all sound alike. Bands that don't fit into these categories and have an original sound (Green Day, Rancid, Op Ivy) are my favorite. And yeah man, Sonic Youth's awesome, but they're definitely not Punk. |
