Anyone Like Punk?

Post Reply New Topic

Bands I still likes are: Misfits (with Danzig), Sex Pistols and Ramones.

In the past I listened to Agnostic Front, GBH, The Exploited, Berurier Noir, Doughboys, Swerdriver, Gang Green, Excel, Cro-mag, Jello Biafra

I always listened to it from the mid-Seventies. It was my favorite. I still only listen to Alternative, but when they occasionally get a band that has that harsh, arhythmic, stripped down sound of real punk, that is always my favorite.

the vandals
pennywise
swingin utters
operation ivy
rancid
millencolin

I love the crusty old foggies like you.I've worked with a few, and I usually bombard them with obnoxious questions.

The Dicks-kill from the heart
hate the police(7 inch)
Necros-conquest for death
Meat Puppets-meat puppets II

.......fat wreck/epitaph bands must die-except propagandhi.

Anti-Nowhere League

The Sex Pistols

The Clash

The Jam..I think.

That's about it.

Punishing indeed. My dad lives in his hometown, and when I was a kid and would hang out in the record shop, you could find Original, hand-drawn artwork on GG's stuff by the man himself. Needless to say, it was obscene.

A friend of mine once mailed him a fan letter. He got a package back a few weeks later from Allin. Inside was a ziplock bag full of, uh...feces.

Oh, and nice to see the Angry Samoans, GangGreen and AOD get some mentions. Fun stuff.

A now deceased freind of mine was on GG Allin's ill-fated 1988 tour as his drummer in The Murderers. I got my copy of The Queers 7" from the bassist of the same band. I also met GG in 1986 when he was in Portland to play a show, but had to work that night. --I'm not exactly a fan of his later stuff, and his general lifestyle/philosophy, however all the early stuff that he did with The Jabbers was fantastic. Allegedly the Hooksett, NH PD is on alert on the anniversery of his death when diehard GG fans make a pilgrimage to his grave.

Does Mindless Self Indulgence count?

they sound kinda synth-punk....I actually hadn't heard them before now...I guess yes then.

Heh yeah great isn't it?

Ahhhh, memrobilia, don't you just love it?

I happen to be playing GG Allin right now as it happens.

Brand new fan of punk and proto-punk. New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, The Stooges, The Clash, Sex Pistols, and Elvis Costello.

You may also want to look into these as well:

Iggy and the Stooges - Raw Power
Iggy Pop - The Idiot (Contains the Original version of David Bowie's China Girl, Bowie also sings backup on the original)

Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
Velvet Underground - White Light, White Heat
Hawkwind - In Search of Space
Gang of Four - Solid Gold
Killing Joke - Wardance
Public Image Ltd. (PIL) Metal Box/Second Edition
Dead Boys - Young Loud and Snotty
Dead Boys - We Have Come For Your Children
Rocket From The Tombs - Rocket Redux
The Wipers - Youth of America
The Wipers - Is This Real
Black Flag - Jealous Again
Black Flag - Everthing Went Black, The first four years (Best of compendium of studio outtakes, Before Rollins)

Husker Du - Zen Arcade (Punks Answer to The Who's 'Tommy')

I've heard them classified as Punk/Industrial/Hip-Hop. I dunno. I've only gotten into them recently.

I didn't add my bands.

Richard Hell - The Voidoids
Sex Pistols
New York Dolls
Iggy Pop (for sure, I grew up in MI and loved him)
Dead Kennedys
Buzzcocks
Ramones - only early stuff
Clash - early stuff here too
Talking Heads - only up to Fear of Music
Generation X


I consider proto-punk to be the Kinks and I've heard the 70's punkers say the same.


Also, really old Tubes. White Punks on Dope definitely qualifies but anything after that is not.


I think the only thing after 1980 that sounded the same to me was Black Flag. I still love Henry Rollins' voice.


Velvet Underground and Bowie I always considered Glam Rock.

I don't like to say I like punk, because people nowadays have a different concept of punk than what I consider to be punk. But whatever, I was never a punker.

Fugazi (I have all their albums)
Joy Division (probably my favorite band)
The Fall
The Minutemen
Flipper
Pere Ubu (if they count)
Velvet Underground (likewise, and I think they do)
Psychedelic Furs
Public Image Ltd.
Sonic Youth?

....all excellent bands...but they'd probably all be considered proto-punk, post-punk, or indie rock.
It's more of a description of the actual sound-even though they suck, blink 182's a punk band.

....putting a qualitative label on a genre is ridiculous-"rebellious" rock, or "outsider" rock would be just as lame.
