haha, lagwagon isnt in that category??
 
Like posted earlier, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly are very good. I was surprised anyone would have mentioned them seeing as how I have never seen anyone post that they were listening to them (in the what are you listening to thread) besides me.

BTW: Does anyone know of any streaming radio stations that play punk?
 
ok for me now

minor threat
suicidal tendencies
afi(davey is NOT homosexual)
tsunami bomb
tiger army
fugazi
the misfits
dead kennedys
black flag
offspring's earlier stuff
agent orange
f-minus
ramones(pioneers, i dont care if people say they have no talent)


with some of those, i know you have never heard any. by the way, real punk is dead; only hardcore is dead. what you see on tv is not punk or even close to it. its fake. you cannot also describe a person as "punk". it dosent matter what clothes you wear, who you hang out with, who you are, how much money you have, nope. you can be described as sXe, but i wont go into that. now, punk has a real meaning to it which you can describe people in the context of punk. example, lets ask merriam-webster what it is.

Main Entry: 1punk
Pronunciation: 'p&[ng]k
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1596
1 archaic : PROSTITUTE
2 [probably partly from 3punk] : NONSENSE, FOOLISHNESS
3 a : a young inexperienced person : BEGINNER, NOVICE; especially : a young man b : a usually petty gangster, hoodlum, or ruffian c : a youth used as a homosexual partner
4 a : PUNK ROCK b : a punk rock musician c : one who affects punk styles

ill list some bands that attempt to grasp a "punk" image.

good charlotte
simple plan
the new blink 182
american hi-fi
all american rejects
avril lavenge(horrible)
sum 41
the atarias
new found glory(i hate you. one time, a friend's friend put one of their cds into the player of a car which his mom was driving. we listened to them, and my friend says the singer is somewhat bad(means really bad). i agreed to this(i already knew the band and hated them well, but i didnt want to say this)and even the mom said the singer needed singing lessons. that means the singer is pretty bad.)

and there is others. ok, that is all i will say for now.


but, to tell you what emo is duke, i will.

Will someone please explain to me what the hell "Emo" is? I heard it was short for "emotion".

All music should have emotion in it, or else there's no bloody point in listening to it. Music is emotion.



emo is a type of music that is usually slow or medium pace. it usually has accoustic and other things that dont sound that heavy. the singer sings about emotional things, such as how his girlfriend dumped him the other day and now hes going to commit suicide or how much hes angry. the angry part is called angst, which is in some emo. basically, emo to me is a person whining about pointless things that are really depressing and sounds horrible. but, have your opnions as i have mine.
 
Punk is dead. When the Ramones are used to peddle mobile phones you can know for sure.

When punk actually existed and mattered it was the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kenedys, Black Flag, and I suppose you could throw in Suicidal Tendencies first album and DRI.

Green Day?! Oh pa-leeze. :lol: Punk was a lifestyle. Now it's a "sound". Meh.
 
How can you leave off the Casualties!?

Anti-Flag
Against All Authority
Pennywise
Guttermouth
Black Flag
The Sex Pistols
Distillers
The Living End
Vandals

and theres loads more...but i jst can't be bothered to think :D

Punk is dead?!?:odd:
How'd you come to that conclusion Milefile. It's far from it. There are tones of good punk bands out there now, and if you're referring to punk being dead and only knowing the obvious "AFI" and "NOFX" etc. then you're mistaken. There are many and lots of good underground punk bands still.
 
These are my favs.

1. The Dickies
2. The Replacements(old stuff)
3. Butthole Surfers(old stuff)
4. Agent Orange
5. Sex Pistols
6. Black Flag
7. Dead Kennedy's
8. Voodoo Glow Skulls
9 Husker Du

Blink 182 and Green Day are NOT punk! They never were, and never will be!
 
my favs

1) millencolin
2)frenzal rhomb
3) the hives
4)the butterfly effect
5) the joykillers
6) pennywise
7)grinspoon
8) rhubarb
9) jebidiah
10) goldfinger


BLINK 182 AND GOOD CHARLOTTE ARE NOT PUNK they are sellouts, they write the songs that would make the most money
 
Green Day may not be punk but they are a good band. Everything after the album "Dookie" is horrible compared to the latter and before. You guys should check out their old stuff before you go dissing on a good rock band.
 
It's been a while since I've really given punk a kick in the teeth, but here are my punk/skunk/hardcore favorites...

Small Brown Bike
Choking Victim (Leftover Crack)
Hot Water Music
Subhumans
Crass
DK
Guttermouth
The Clash - They've got a different sound, but they have the attitude...

edit: additions...
Link 80
Dropkick Murphys
Husker Du
Lawrence Arms


Emo favorites:
Alkaline Trio
Pedro the Lion
Jets to Brazil

:eek:
I thought I was the only one to of heard of them. I don't know or can't find anyone whose heard of them. Finding there stuff is like trying to find rocking horse ****!
Just thought I'd add in my favourite of theirs is For The Crown. Yours?
BTW If you like them you might want to try my new favourite band at the moment which is Ye Wiles. They're quite hard to find but I've got an album of there's and it's really good.
 
I have all their releases...
Killing Katie (EP)
17 Reasons
The Struggle Continues

And the Plea For Peace compilation... that had one of their singles
 
Are there any fans of Social Distortion in here? They're an older punk band, but they're really good, remind me a lot of Bad Religion.

Actually, Rancid are posers.

I like punk, but I like late 70s/early 80s punk; real punk. Dead Kennedys, Ramones, Pistols, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. The Clash border on punk but aren't quite.
haha, Suicidal Tendencies. I still listen to that sometimes, altho i find it is a bit more like Metal than Punk
 
I've noticed that no one mentioned Operation Ivy in their lists of best punk bands. I love them, they're amazing. Jesse Michaels' vocals and lyrics are so great. Anyway... did anyone hear about Rancid's selling out bull**** with their supposed tour with Good Charlotte and Mest? :confused: I was PISSED!!! But I guess I knew it was coming..... :mad: :banghead:
How can Lint and Matt stand themselves knowing they were once true punks in Op Ivy and now they're just a bunch of poser sellouts?
