So, vat's your favorite punk band?

For me, that's hard. It would be hard just to name me favorite late 70's punk band. So I'll have to list a few.

The Ramones
The Sex Pistols
Television (I'd recommend this band even to non-punk fans)
Minor Threat (hardcore)
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Wire
Meat Puppets

It's starting to get pretty hard because the definition for punk isn't very clear.
I like post-punk a little more than punk actually. Most of the stuff I listen to is post-punk.

Misfits

Blink 182 and Green Day

Mahahahaaaa

I'm into most punk bands, not really in the mood for listing any... and I always thought the Meat Puppets were an Acoustic Power Metal band

------------------
Drugs & Stupidity, Tons of it.

Does that include pop-punk? if so, then I say Blink182.

------------------
When bread becomes toast, it can never go back to being bread again.

Sure, it can include pop-punk if you like. But also try to include a normal punk band if you listen to any.
Except for Spork. He's fired.

[plug]By the way, pop-punk fans, you should check out Big Star. They were a big power pop band. Pop punk music sounds a lot like Big Star except slightly faster to make it punk. Listen to the song September Gurls, it's great.[/plug]


Nope, they were always punk. They started out as a hardcore band but got fed up with the scene, so started adding country and psychadelic bits into it.

Die Ärzte - Die beste Band der Welt!!!!!

Wizo, Slime, Tagtraum, Tankcsapda, Aurora

Anyone knows any of them? THEY ROCK!

I am not that much into english/american punk. Perhaps the Exploited and the Offspring, but that's all, tough Anti Flag isn't that bad

Meat Puppets.....punk? They're a cross between country and grateful dead! :P, I don't know, it really depends on what you're opinion of what punk is. Anywho, in my opinion, probobly THe Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Nirvana are my favorite

------------------

Ramones.

Nope, Meat Puppets were punk. At least their first three albums were.
Calling Nirvana punk is really stretching it though. I love Nirvana, but I really don't think they were punk. That's like saying The Pixies were punk, which they were not.

For my three favorite post-punk, it'd have to go something like:
1. Echo and the Bunnymen
2. New Order
3. Joy Division
That's right, I like New Order more than Joy Division. Wanna make somethin' of it?

Whelly: I have a Stretch Armstrong album, but haven't listened much to it. I guess I should give it another spin.
Have you heard of Gorilla Biscuits? They are an awesome hardcore straight-edge band. Get their album Start Today.

Ohh, I love straight-edge and I like hardcore... I will definitely give them a listen. Although I don't know if you like a lot of hardcore, Stretch is definitely one of the best in the genre.

Hell, yeah!

Die Ärzte is too much about the lyrics, but they are great. Wizo is something "others" can listen to

I haven't heard of any of the bands you listed, Madquack. I guess I'm supposed to be impressed.
Are they local bands in your area?

------------------
All you need is love.

Nope. pg.99 could kind of be considered local, but not really, I don't think.

You telling me you've never heard Crass?? Go buy Feeding of the 5000 or Christ the Album. Tower Records usually has them in stock.

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."
-Robert Jastrow

I don't really have any money, actually. I might just download a song or two for now.

I'll check out that Cromwell song tomorrow.
