I don't see how anyone could think of NOFX as pop, seeing as how they go out of their way to avoid the MTV crowd. They don't make music videos for new releases and they don't allow MTV to play their older videos. Just my two cents.

Add some CEPHAS, my mates band... jsut played at the garage in London supporting ruben *www.cephas.info*
/plug

You're right Bob, Nofx isn't pop, I don't know why I'm so biased against them.

Anyway they definitely deserve the label "punk"

damn, this is turning into a good cd

Alrighty, I can't believe I'm only the third person to mention Operation Ivy! Besides the crowd, try 'Yellin in my ear' and 'Black Flag'

This all depends on whether you are trying to make a CD that is punk by sound or punk by ideaology.

Punk by sound included bands such as the Vandals, Bad Religion, NOFX, Lagwagon, AFI, etc.

Punk by ideaology, (Which is punk that is punk because of it's lyrical content and message), would still include Bad Religion and old (YES OLD) NoFX, but would also include the RX Bandits, Propagandhi, Sage Francis (yes, he's a rapper, but his lyrics match up to those of BR), BigWig (I'm surprised nobody has mentioned them before) and Bob Dylan. These were bands/people that are punk in their want for the reform of society to make a better whole for us all.

Punk isn't about power chords and a fast beat, it's about a message that was originally delivered by people who had no other way to convey it but through music.

So, my friend, I ask you, which punk are you trying to make a mix of?

RatherThanWords,

first and foremost punk by sound. I'm all about the a-chord, fast beats, and energy. You have an excellent point, unfortunately Phil Ochs doesn't get a spot on this cd. ;-)

Those are great hard'n'fast songs

RatherThanWords,

That's a good list, a few of those I don't have on cd, and am downloading. Thanks for your input. I kind of gave up on the whole punk cd after I made my original one. I gave one away, and this girl claimed to like it, but I had the feeling she didn't listen to any of it. Anyways it gave me the feeling that maybe the most useful part of this thread, is for people who like punk, to explore some new stuff, and that's what I've been doing with all your posts.

So those of you who have something to add, I'll be sure to check in and download some stuff, it's not like anyone advertises good punk, the only way to spread the news is by word of mouth. And for those of you reading this thread who haven't ever heard any punk, download some of this stuff at random, if you don't like it, so sorry, but if you do, get on this board and we can all explore some shit together. Thanks to everyone who has posted.

peace,

Skettios.

the velvet underground - heroin

Old School Punk
 

Suprized Subhumans (British not Canadian) hasn't been mentioned - "Religious Wars" was a favorite. Maybe too political?

Remember Anarchy 6? - "Slam Spit Cut Your Hair Kill Your Mom" - almost a joke album in the same vein for punk like Crucial Youth was for Straightedge.

Last note.... The was a band Day Glow Abortions - "Addicted to Suicide" now that was straight out '86 punk

Anyways...all true punk classics, the songs still remain beyond the band

Dropkick Murphys - walk away
Less Than Jake - ASAOK
Slick Shoes - Darko
Mad Catties - Drinking For 11
