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. |

Any Celtic Punk is good. |
ramones, dead kennedys, the clash, sex pistols, richard hell and the voidoids,

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

Itīs hard to drop names that havenīt already surfaced cuzī theyīre 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
|
as for punk/ska
-AFI -Allister -Anti-Flag -Assorted Jellybeans -at the drive in -Cursive -Flogging Molly -LTJ -Mu330 -My Chemical Romance -Rancid -RBF -RX Bandits -Sonic Youth -The get up kids -The used -Thursday -Unwritten Law Dont forget Emo -Further Seems Forever -Ben Folds (not quite Emo but close) and i like local stuff -Lucky Boys Confusion -Story of the year -The Urge (damn musical differences) 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 |
Hardly ever listen to all that happy stuff but when I do it's NoFX, Sex Pistols, Farse, Schism, Goldfinger and Greenday.
|
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! |
Holy Moly, people lump ska and punk together because punk came from the original ska (Skatalites, anyone?), and most current ska sounds a lot like punk.

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. |
Taking Back Sunday
Engine Down |
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.
|
AFI, definitely.
Taking Back Sunday The Clash Glassjaw the new Mars Volta is great, also. |
fugazi is waaaaay over rated.
favorite bands and i was into punk back when you were so scared to go to shows that you puked before you were drunk! just thinking of the shit you were going to see that night. The Kings(Bands that everyone wanted to be): Ramones, Black Flag, Minor Threat, UK Subs, Blitz, Agnostic Front. Other Greats: Angry Samoans Doggie Style Uniform Choice Stalag 13 Detox Youth Brigade Old Social Distortion Dead Kennedys Old Vandals (I saw a show where Stevo blended a live rat with beer and some nasty girl drank it) Descendents Blitz Discharge (Metallica's Kill Em All gets a special nod cause i remember every punk saying "damn that's good metal shit" when it came out) Dr. Know Dag Nasty DI DOA I wish I could name them all.... |
Nirvana
Ramones the breeders Fugazi dead kennedys Alkaline Trio Hot Water Music Sonic Youth Sebadoh (if they count as punk) |
Hoodo Gurus
The Clash Ramones Nine Below Zero Specials Buzzcocks Butthole Surfers Pylon Love Tractor Young Fresh Fellows Police Frank Black English Beat DFX2 and of coures.... Surf Punks and Dead Milkmen! HA |
NOFX forever. they're so original, and they're musicianship speaks for itself. don't believe me? listen to the 17 minute EP. The DECLINE.
|
AFI
Rancid Ramones Bosstones |
my favorites right now include Rufio, AFI, and Vendetta Red, its almost impossible to find a "punk" band i dont like ;) 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...
|
Catch 22
Mighty Mighty Bosstones Reel Big Fish Rancid Ramones Mephiskapheles (what the satanic ska?!?!?) Five Iron Frenzy The Grandprixx Big D and the Kids Table Specials Less than Jake So many more but my mind is shot at this point... |
ska:
Cherry Poppin Daddies (not the swing cd) The Mudsharks. Find aMudsharks cd today if you like ska at all. Nuff said. |
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. |
crass. flogging molly. operation ivy. nofx. propagandhi. sleater-kinney. lunachicks. bikini kill.
and an offshoot of punk..hardcore: blood brothers. glassjaw. poison the well. botch. hope conspiracy. meshuggah. shadows fall. from autumn to ashes. and yes, metallica's kill em all is as punk as metal gets :P really similar styles.. don't know why punk and metal kids aren't supposed to get along.. and fugazi and rites of spring were the original emo before all this water downed shit. |
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... |
The Mars Volta
Rx Bandits Cursive Elvis Costello The Clash The Slackers Hepcat Rancid Desmond Dekker Operation Ivy Common Rider Dropkick Murphys Fishbone Bosstones The Pouges Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros The Police Rocket From the Crypt Thrice Bob Marley and the Wailers The Specials Thats a pretty broad range of music thats associated with punk or ska in someway. There are so many others but cant think right now. |
Operation Ivy
Less then Jake Reel Big Fish NoFX Dropkick Murphy's Bad Religon |
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. |
op ivy!!!! man i can't believe only 3 ppl mentioned em so far...so now everyone in this thread has got to go out and get Energy
|
hmmm did you mean punk/ska, or punk, and ska??
|
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 |
======= REFUSED ========
I personally don't listen to too much punk but The Shape of Punk to Come album blew my mind. Also The Mars Volta is great, but I wouldn't put them as punk for those who did. |
Social Distortion
Mike Ness Backyard Babies Me First and The Gimme Gimmes |
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. |
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
|
I'm a big fan of Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, MM Bosstones, Operation Ivy, Sublime, Reel Big Fish...the list goes on.
I didn't know there were this many Dropkick Murphys fans here, any of you guys seen them in concert? I saw them last week and the show was just crazy...I can't wait to see them again. |
Gimme Gimme's are great! I even got my parents to listen to them... they thought the new take to some of their favorite songs was "interesting."
|
Dead Kennedys always.
|
the specials
not technicly a punk group, but definately influenced by punk |
Does Nirvana count? AFI a prtty cool too and others I forgot to mention , I like them too
