Death Star Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Anyone here like punk? Bands like Operation Ivy, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys etc.Really diggin' the Ramones at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Meh. Punk rock is ok if I'm in the mood, but hardcore punk is where it's at. Misfits, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, SS Decontrol, Circle Jerks, Bad Religion, etc.And I'd call the DK's hardcore, not punk rock.

Lithium Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've started listening to Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables a lot again recently. Magnificent album, one of my punk favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Naturally, it's one of my favourite genres...I'm mostly into first wave punk (especially the New York scene) and proto-punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtylenny Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I adore punk rock. To me, musically at least, its what breathed life into the possibilities of what music is capable of. Without it i think my interest would have waned after a while. I cannot describe what it was like to first hear the sex pistols, anarchy in the UK come pounding out of a set of speakers. Its like...bliss, epiphany, i can remember the exact fucking moment i picked up that cassette in a fucking dollar bin and heard that goddamn song. Its the be all and end all for me and something that, ideologially speaking, has effected me very profoundly in 99% of walks of life. I think its something very precious and special and i am absolutely obssessive about it and its history and the people involved in it and the music they made...oooh, shit, i can't explain but...all bullshit aside, to me its like a surge of energy, it centers me and informs me and excites me and provokes me and...Jesus hip hoppin Christ, what would i be without punk rock? It really doesnt bear thinking about. As for what bands do i like? Jesus, where to begin..the stoogesthe sex pistolsMC5New York Dollsthe dictatorsblondiePiLthe ramonessuicideminor threatbad brainsthe replacementsjohnny thunders and the heartbreakersrichard hell and the voidoidsmagazinejoy divisionthe buzzcockssiouxsie and the bansheesthe damnedthe clashthe germsthe bagsblack flagfuck this, i could go on for days and days, not just about the subject but each and every one of those bands a piece. And whats frightening about that is that, in terms of knowledge of the genre, i dont even touch the tip of the iceberg.Punk Rock is a beautiful thing...musically, ideologically, in every sense. It informs the person i am on more levels than i'm sure anyone cares to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Sal Bug Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Most certainly it's true, it's a beautiful thing. I've even asked myself before too, what I'd be like if there were no Punk-Rock..ha. Nice post len. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumcat Esq. Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Anyone here like punk?I do! I'd say I love it, almost any subgenre it developed into... punk 82, streetpunk, hc, ska-core, d-beat, crust, grindcore and whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls Rose Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 i grew up listening to punk music about 25 years ago, still love it and still listen to Sex Pistols, The clash, Dead Kennedys, The damned and loads more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dendroica11 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I still listen to punk - Misfits, Sex Pistols, Ramones, the Stooges, up to bands like the Descendents and NOFX. I veered off into all sorts of hardcore too (like Fugazi and a ton of newer stuff). I don't listen to it as much as I used to, but I'm still a punk at heart.

bt88 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Any Bad Religion fans in here? IMO theyre about the only relevant good punk band left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Any Bad Religion fans in here? IMO theyre about the only relevant good punk band leftI love 80's Bad Religion, their newer stuff not so much. No Control was the last truly great BR album, though there have been a handful of good songs since. I don't agree that they are the only relevant punk band though, there is still something of a hardcore scene in some larger cities, and bands like Common Enemy still kick ass. And Bad Brains are still around, and they're definitely still relevant. Sure, Build A Nation didn't even touch the greatness of the first album, but it's their best since I Against I.

Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Don't mind a bit of The Ramones and The Clash from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted_19765 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I love Punk in theory and respect the function it served in the development of Rock music, but very little of it endures for me in terms of listening material.

Snake Eyes Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) As far as punk goes, off the top of my head;The Clash, Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The Ramones, Social Distortion, The Damned, Neurotic Outsiders, The Loyalties, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, Dead Kennedys, Stiff Little Fingers, New York Dolls, Gallows, Buzzcocks, Blondie, Fu Manchu, Joy Division, Black Flag, Talking Heads, The Stranglers, Fear, UK Subs and The Misfits.Sure I'm forgetting a few..

Lone Sal Bug Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Really diggin' the Ramones at the moment.Have you seen the Cabbies on crack video? It only features Joey, but it's so kickass: First ever demo recordings, there's something really exciting about the rawness and Joeys voice, it's untamed and full of attitude. ChainsawToday your love, Tomorrow the worldI can get you or anyone else whose interested the mp3's of the demo recordings above as they're brilliant and rather rare.

I don't really have anything else to add. Me either. Punk for me doesn't do a whole lot, I just like it's influence more than the actual music.

LightningBolt Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 As for the stooges dude, you might wanna download raw power before that first album, it'll make the point better I disagree, I think Fun House is a stronger album. I think after the one-two punch of "Search and Destroy" and "Gimme Danger", the album kinda drops in quality. Fun House is great throughout.
