yellowcard,linkin park, simple plan, elephant man, all-american punk shit, dashboard, avril lavigne, I could keep on and on. How do these pieces of shit get record deals and get there product placed. I am sick of shitty radio playlist of 50 songs on heavy rotation. The Radio/Record industry is shitty. There are great bands that will never be heard because of the hold a few people have. I don't want the radio making my music decisions.

Well, there's that band your mom was in. Well, maybe it was just your mom who sucked, and boy did she ever.

Dead Kennedys = good

Whoever provided Aerosmith with a contract must have had a pretty sharp sense of humor.

THE BANGLES

Bruce Springsteen and his roller rink cacophonies and his hairplugs.

Green Day and the bobbleheaded lead singer born with out shoulders or is that OJ's head on a jockey's body, and their introspective and yet quite controversial political statements. Very dangerous indeed= Mall Punk,(Don't forget your piercing and Mom will pick you up at 8:30).

Seminal punk bands that nobody's mentioned, but I bet all of the the modern day "punk" bands would site as major influences:

Wire, namely 1977's "Pink Flag"

Minutemen, "Double Nickels on the Dime."

Get with the program people

I'm not going to bitch too much about the popular stuff today. The good stuff is always out there if you want to look. What these "punk" guys today that all look and sound alike are just the same thing as the popular stuff back when I was in college, metal-pop bands like Warrant, Poison, Cinderella, Ratt, and so on.

This has been going on ever since the early days of the Beatles. You get one great band in a different style that hits it big and for the next 5 years you get hundreds of copycats that suck.

But what's the deal with these current bands and why do they sing in the same goddam fake british accent? Man that gets on my nerves!

I dug out some obscure stuff I listened to back in the day and got to thinking how Naked Raygun would blow all these little twerps on the Warped tour right of the stage.

Sound and vision,

Since you seem to be the know all of philosophy, lets agree to disagree on the whole punk thing. I have my feelings and you have yours. Neither of us is right, just differing points of view.

However, I do not think that running is merely an activity. I think there is a lot more substance to running than it simply being an activity. I would imagine that most runners would feel likewise.

theo epstein's band is horrible. but i'm a huge fan of dillenger escape plan. haha. wow. right now im listening to the ataris.

I for one can not stand Nickleback. I hear their songs and I cringe.

Ataris...punk? Was I in a coma? If you want punk, look into:

Bad Religion (older) All Ages is a good compilation

A.F.I (older) Answer That... Black Sails gets darker

Dead Kennedys

Descendents (older...though the new Albumns quite entertaining- Stay w/ Milo goes to College)

Circle Jerks (Group Sex)

Dead Milkmen ;)

MISFITS!!! (as usual, the older stuff ie Static Age)

the Clash (can't go wrong w/ London Calling)

Sex Pistols (Nevermind the Bollocks...)

Husker Du

Joy Division

Offspring (older, ie Smash)

Ramones (Rocket to Russia)

Black Flag (Rollins' and his raspy voice in Damaged)

NoFx

I could even go out on a limb and say Blink 182's Dude Ranch.

Some stuff I really like right now is HIM (Bam overexposed their logo, though), Dylan, White Stripes, Queens of the StoneAge, Ben Folds, OAR, Exploding Hearts, Blue Oyster Cult...

wow. most of those bands suck!

To each their own...but which one's are you referring to? I can't make you like what I like...

Good Punk Bands (in some sorta alphabetical order) -

Bad Brains

Black Flag

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady is the best pop-punk ever.

Amazing how something so good as influences so

many bad bands.

The Clash - Not my favorite, but very good nontheless.

The Dammned - New Rose and Neat Neat Neat are really great songs.

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegtables is one of

the best 80's punk albums.

Devo

Dinosaur Jr - is you wanna call this punk....

The Fall

Fear

Gang of Four - Entertainment! is one of my favorite albums

of all time. Anthrax is the best anti-love

song of all time and Damaged Goods is one of my

favorite songs of all time.

The Heartbreakers - d/l Chinese Rocks right now

Husker Du - very good but again, not my favorite

Joy Division - most.depressing.band.ever. Love Will Tear

Us Apart is the greatest song of all time.

no joke.

Liars - newer band out of NYC. Werid stuff but good.

MC5 - Kick Out the Jams has the best start of any song.

Mekons

Minor Threat

Minutemen - Everybody needs to own Double Nickels on the

Dime

Mission of Burma - Best Post-Punk band of the 80's

Roadrunners - Is there a more catchy song then Roadrunner?

New York Dolls

Patti Smith - Pretencious as all else but not bad

Pere Ubu - What? Avant garde music that rocks!?!

Pixies - not really punk (well, Surfer Rosa is) but the best

band of the past 25 years

Ramones - overrated (they play the same song over and over)

but the 1st real punk band

Richard Hell and the Voidoids

The Saints

Sex Pistols - most overated band of all time

Sonic Youth - if you consider them punk

The Star Spangles - not too original but damn good new punk

Stooges - best punk band of all time, hands down. Buy all 3

of their albums now.

Suicide - f***ing weird stuff

Talking Heads

Television - Marquee Moon is one of the top albums of all

time in any genre

Ultravox

Velvet Underground - overrated too, but some good stuff.

Vibrators

Violent Femmes

Wire - Pink Flag is the best post punk album of the 70's

X

I advise all of you to go out right and buy Rhino's 4 cd box set "No Thanks: The 70's Punk Rock Rebellion". It is well worth the price for the amount of great bands it will turn you on to.

Just by having these three you win as best post of the day. Good one.

Creed by far is the worst band ever. Now they are called alter bridge or something gay like that. Also, nickel back, linkin park, stero gram, alien ant farm, and most punk shit that these pussy kids are listening to lately.

Nickelback is very very bad in a derivative way. Their popularity might be a sign of the Apocalypse. They have no merit at all.
