Favorite Punk/Ska/Blah blah *insert form of punk here*
 

Yeah, so anways, what is your favorite band from your favorite style of punk


I've just gotten into punk, i like the misfits....

but my favorite live band right now has to be The Real Mckenzies...i just saw them live...scottish lead singer and the bagpipe guy makes it all happen....

"The only thing you need is scotch whiskey, if you don't have that, irish beer is just as good"

Was there when It all happened my friend, I was 16 in 1977. Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Vibrators, The Saints, all great bands. Nice to see a renaissance in this genre.

Rancid, Bouncing Souls, Dropkick Murphy's. My favorite punk bands.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Dropkick Murphys
Flogging Molly

and...


SOCIAL DISTORTION

Operation Ivy, Rancid, AFI to name a few.

Check out some stuff from FAT WRECHORDS if you like newer (but not that pop-shit) stuff.

The Clash is good, Black Flag.

I never got into this whole Ska thing. But I did have lot of Supertones shit.

Does that count? Basically I am uninformed and would like you guys to lead me. Never got into the whole scene.

Very much so...
Any Celtic Punk is good.

ramones, dead kennedys, the clash, sex pistols, richard hell and the voidoids,


o yea I HATE BLINK 182

Avril Lavigne.


I'm kidding: My favorites are probably Ramones, Clash, Misfits, Nofx, and Dropkick Murphys.

black flag
tsol
minor threat
smut peddlers
against me

Black Flag
Dead Kennedys
NoFX
Sublime

Most everything released in the past 10 years claiming to be "punk" is garbage.

punk
AFI, Sparta, Refused

and for ska
Mad Caddies and Link 80

Flogging Molly, Goldfinger and Less than Jake

1: catch 22
2: Reel Big Fish
3: Alkaline Trio
4: Bouncing Souls
5: Millencolin

Not real hot on ska/punk but here is my take:

Reel Big Fish

And

Dashboard Confessional
Which isn't punk, but oh well.

I've always liked the Suicide Machines, as well as alot of other bands that have been mentioned. Also, Hepcat.

Wait, I can't believe I forgot about FISHBONE!

FISHBONE!

FISHBONE!

Bad Religion
Alkaline Trio (not punk, but closer)
Dropkick Murphys
Lawnmower Deth

fucking NAILBOMB!!! now thats real punk.

I cannot believe that nobody mentioned the SPECIALS. Anyway along with the specials goes the selector the skatalites, bad manners and judge dread. As for punk Wheres snfu , d.o.a., black flag, circle jerks, dead kennedy's, wasted youth, suicidal tendancies and dayglo abortions. Just a few of my faves from back in my youth. I strongly reccomend to download a few and give them a try.

Sham 69
Cockney Rejects
4 Skins
Oi Polloi
Stiff Little Fingers
The Templars
Iron Cross
UK Subs

Bad Religion
AFI

how could i forget Black Flag....one of my friends favorite bands....

GO HENRY!

GG Allin
Dead Kennedys
the 4 skins
The exploited
non racist Skrewdriver songs
non racist Bound for Glory
Betercore
Black Flag
Blitz
Unemploid
The Templars
Good Clean Fun
Anti-Heros

<B>Necronomicom</B> glad to see someone else knows GG... what a nut...

The Ramones are prob the all time best

My other favorite is a band call The Stain, my friend is the guitarist, and they totally kick arse... Has anyone else ever heard of them?

GG Allin scares me. But Hated is one of my favorite documentaries.
In no particular order:
Serious Punk...
Crass
Conflict
Bad Religion
Bad Brains
Christ on a Crutch
Fugazi
X-Ray Specs
Dead Kennedys
for more tardcore..
Angry Samoans
The Crucifux
and a lingering fascination with the Misfits

Sex Pistols
Bad Religion
Green Day
Less Than Jake

I tend to prefer the older style(two tone, rocksteady)/jazzier kinda ska. New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Skavoovie and the Epitones, The Specials, The Toasters. Also Flogging Molly. Just because you never thought you'd hear an accordian in a punk/ska band.

NoFX, Stormtroopers of death, A global threat, Reel Big Fish, Flogging molly, The Adicts, A minor thret, Screwdriver, Liberty, and dead kennedys.

agent 51 and swindle. some san diego local punk bands that are as good as all these popular ones.

social distortion

hepcat got back together eh, almost all the original members too, fucking rocks

It´s hard to drop names that haven´t already surfaced cuz´ they´re all good.

Let me just mention Pulley as a punk band (they are on Epitaph), and the ska-band Five Iron Frenzy. They are hella-good.

The Specials, gods of ska right there man.

The ramones are amazing - especially after 6-8 pints of lager and mates who like to hit each other.....

favorite punk would probably be green day

I've never been a big fan of ska or punk, but the Ramones had some addicting peppy little tunes :D

Those were my my top few on playlist there a probly more

I saw Fugazi when they came by Raleigh a couple years ago. I guess that's where a lot of my punk knowledge ends though.

How does one define something as punk?

Ska isn't a form of punk. I don't get why everyone always lumps them together.


My favorite punk band would be Bad Religion, followed very very closely by The Lillingtons. Then in no particular order:
-The Riverdales
-Screeching Weasel
-The Ramones
-Teen Idols
-The Spinoffs
