Some other punk bands I like are The Violent Femmes, Guttermouth, Violent Delight, The Dead Milkmen, Nerf Herder, The Flaming Lips, & Wheatus

Yeah!, back in the day, early 1977, and living in London, best time of my life, (apart from the childrens home), we where in all the clubs, The Roxy, the Vortext, the Marquee, saw all the big bands, apart from the Sex Pistols but whoever got to see them?
It was so small scale and intimate back then, once, sitting on the stage at the Red Cow where X Ray Spex where playing, I went to get up but couldnt because PolyStyrene was standing on my jacket I was wearing.
Dancing was easy, all you had to do was jump up and down as manic as you could, other peoples flem stuck in your hair helped make it look nice and spikey.

cool. You like them? Over The Edge is my favourite record by them.

one of my favorite bands. i think the Is This Real? album is my favorite, and Youth of America, but Over the Edge is great too. i love the guitar sound on that album.

I empathise with Greg Sage's alienated lyrics. I think that's why i like Over the Edge best. No one loves an alien

The Kinks
The Clash
The Sex Pistols
The Ramones

The Kinks invented Punk music.

greg sage had a lot of alien / alienation themed songs. i rely heavily on music to unclog the emotional drainpipes that don't function too well in human - to - human interaction. if not for the wipers (and some other bands) i'm not sure how i'd have survived being a teenager.

here's four and a half minutes of pure angst:

Yeah, here's a useful phrase for people like that,"f**k you, douchebag!"

I've been a fan since I saw the Clash on SNL... Was life changing for a weird kid in a rural southern town.

These days I listen to a lot of Social D, NoFX, Rancid...

Totally! If there's 1 thing I'm not, it's a conformist. Like Billie Joe Armstrong, I too wanna be the minority. I hate being told by others what to do, and I like to break rules that I hate. I think that anyone who's happy with their government/authority is just a mindless sheep who can't think for themselves, because if they could think for themselves, they'd realize how many problems there are with the government and society. Like Against Me!, I am a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.

I like punk artists such as Green Day, The Offspring, AFI, The Clash, Blondie, Billy Talent, and The White Stripes.

Pop-punk bands such as Hedley and Sum 41 are pretty good, but they're too mainstream sounding. Anytime you take a genre and add the prefix "pop-" to it, it just trivializes the genre, makes it too generic and mainstream, waters it down, and just overall lames it out. I like to say that pop isn't a genre, it's a lack of genre. All it is is generic sounding mainstream music that has that "I can be myself" triteness to it, but ironically the "myself" sounds exactly the same as everyone else with that attitude. The only reason they produce music like that is because they want to make lots of money off of it, not because they actually care about real music. I prefer more cult/underground music (ex. AFI). I like it better because you have a small fanbase who tend to be really big fans rather than just a majority of people who each like them a bit. This means a higher concentration of popularity overall.

Bands such as Bon Jovi and U2 are pretty good, but they're overrated. 1 thing I appreciate about U2 though is that they're pretty versatile with their music and although they're considered mainstream, their stuff is mostly alternative rock.

The only pop musicians that I like a lot are Michael Jackson and ABBA, because their stuff is actually unique and different and jsut happens to be mainstream rather than most pop which is specifically made to sound like any other music.

Obscure bands that end up on those Killed by Death compilations deserve more recognition.

I generally don't like much punk because as a musician it bores me. There's not much to analyse, however I do like one band called Refused (Swedish hardcore punk). Some of their songs fuse jazz among other things with the genre which is pretty interesting.

maybe......



misfits, dead kennedys, crass, leftover crack, choking victim, black flag, subhumans, nausea, the ramones, the accused, bad brains, samhain, the cramps, etc. punk is the best

the cramps are sensational. Some people with real good taste on this thread. It's a shame we cant have an Aspie Punk meet-up or gathering.

I prefer Old-Skool Punk for sure.
