no

[pyrochick19770]

^ Then don't reply with spam.

Try the Transplants. (: They're the only mainstram punk band I like.

[parallel]

NOFX. Nice.
Try Rancid.

[pyrochick19770]

^ OH YEA! Rancid. LOL Totally slipped my mind.

[SillyCourtney]

NOFX, eh? Well, let's see, for punk bands, mm.. Good Charlotte maybe? Also, Blink-182's old stuff is awesome.

[technicolour]

Define: punk

But yea. Good Charolette, Simple Plan maybe? Blink 182, and uh..

[KINGP.I.M.P.]

i like green day !!!!!!!!!

[yummy_delight]

That depends. Are you interested in pop punk or the pure stuff? If you're going for the real thing, the only stuff I'd suggest from the aforementioned bands would be The Transplants and Rancid.

For old school punk rock, go with the classics. The Ramones, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols are pretty good. Some good recent bands would be Bad Religion, The Misfits, Flogging Molly, and The Dropkick Murphys.

[angel-roh]

Green Day.
Good Charlotte.
Green Day.
Blink-182.
The Clash.

[d0t0rg]

Conflict, Fleas and Lice, The Casualties, Minor Threat, The Ramones (A must), Generation X.

[antix10_kos]

The Dead Kennedys -- definitive and original
Bad Religion -- political and simple, great political punk
Circle Jerks -- hard, fast and old school
Husker Du -- melodic punk from the 80's
Gwar -- noisy, nonsensical combo of metal and punk
The Meatmen -- think Gwar combined with NOFX

and yea, theres always The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The New York Dolls, Blondie, Fear, and other old school 77 punk.

[*mipadi*]

The Pixies, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Nirvana

[sm0kinm0nky]

Define: punk

But yea. Good Charolette, Simple Plan maybe? Blink 182, and uh..

they're definetly not punk.


Alright some real punk = OLDSCHOOL rancid, Suicidal Tendencies, Gorilla Biscuits, Operation Ivy, Minor Threat

[*xcaitlinx*]

good charlotte and simple plan...PUNK? you must be joking.

umm taking back sunday, blink-182, head automatica, the killers, my chemical romance, sum41, greenday, matchbox romance, fallout boy

[technicolour]

Well, that's why I also said 'Define: Punk'

punk is different to a lot of people.

[The Voice]

I used to be pretty decent into the punk scene...and still once in a while get a taste for it.

I like most of those previously mentioned...another good one is Social Distortion.

[BarreL]

Just wondering...would Rage really be considered punk? Punk mentallity, most certainly...but not sure about the music type. *shrugs* Punk is so variable.

[R-Mac]

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ISN'T PUNK.

Anyway, I listen to mostly pop-punk, try these bands out:
Lagwagon
Millencolin
Strung Out
New Found Glory
No Use For a Name
Rise Against
Midtown
A Wilhelm Scream
Bad Religion
The Suicide Machines
Against All Authority
Anti-Flag
MxPx
Big D And The Kids Table
Pennywise

If you're gonna check out Blink 182 and Green Day, check out their older albums first.

[mysticbreeze]

Billy Talent are really good.

[pyrochick19770]

Man, there's so many bands you guys mentioned that I wouldn't even DREAM were punk.
Decide which ones I'm thinking of for yourselves.

[*mipadi*]

Rage Against The Machine

Rage Against the Machine is a great band and an excellent choice to listen to, but I don't think they're really "punk"; they're more rap/rock with a focus on political issues.

[*incoherent*]

AHH LISTEN TO PENNYWISE!!!

[iiTsDAYNA]

GOOD CHARLOTTE PRIDE!!!

I'd go with Good Charlotte. They're awesome.

[ichigofan]

OK go is good, Deathcab for cutie is pretty good, The Ramones, The clash are good as well

[Daniel Rodriguez]

GOOD CHARLOTTE PRIDE!!!

I'd go with Good Charlotte. They're awesome.

umm I don't like good charlotte

[R-Mac]

Death Cab and Good Charlotte aren't punk.

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

Everyone took all the good suggestions. T__T Now, I'm trying to think of real punk bands...Did you ever specify the punk you were looking for? I didn't see it in the topic...
*transplants
*dropkick muphys [i don't care for them much]
*sex pistols
*the clash
*the ramones
...I was just looking at the shows for Warped Tour && they're not quite punk anymore. I just decided to stop w/ my list because I might get flamed for posting non punk bands.

Ah, Mindless Self Indulgence is industrial-jungle-P**sy-punk...haha, give them a listen to.

[d0t0rg]

I'm pretty sure Rage is Hard Rock.

[timeflies51]

I love Bad Religion.

[gotahemmi55]

here's a good new one.........The Sass

they're new album is on purevolume.com, and they were good enough to be featured on the front page, check em out!

Sex Pistols
The Misfits
Suicidal Tendencies

Yeah try some of those ...there might be one thats not listed.

Rage Against the Machine is a great band and an excellent choice to listen to, but I don't think they're really "punk"; they're more rap/rock with a focus on political issues.

I listen to them And thier Song LYRICS are punk but the way they deiliver them they dont sound it. So in a sense they are punk. (thier political just like Anti-Flag)

[nyctophiliac]

a lot of people here don't know what "punk" music is
MCR, MSI, FOB, Aiden, Saosin = definately NOT punk

[ichigofan]

The Clash

[*My Cinderella.*]

Plain White Ts.

[no-name]

Sham 69 is pretty good.

So is Bad brains.

[Music/Fashion Wh...]

a good amount of the sugestions aren't punk
and a good amount are good are also good...

but i'd say
The Clash
Ramones
Sex Pistols
Anti-Flag
Pinhead Gunpowder
The Lookouts
Sreeching Weasel
Rancid
Transplants
Operation Ivy (they are kind of ska, but nonetheless very good)
Buzzcocks
Hüsker Dü
Black Flag
Alkaline Trio
Green Day (more oldschool though)
Dead Kennedys
Social Distortion
The Germs
The Offspring
Bad Brains
Misfits
Stiff Little Fingers
The Queers
Bloodhound Gang

I'm drawing a blank I know there's more but I hope this helps for now

The ones i crossed out aren't that good or they are not even punk..the other are pretty good

[ichigofan]

The sex pistols are a joke! sorry just had to say that

[NoSex]

Looking back on my list, however I forgot to include the Bad Brains I will never know.
Best hardcore afro-punk out there.

[*mipadi*]

I listen to them And thier Song LYRICS are punk but the way they deiliver them they dont sound it. So in a sense they are punk. (thier political just like Anti-Flag)

Politics aren't exclusive only to punk rock, though. Bob Marley's music had a political bent, and he's certainly not a punk artist.

Yeah your right but attitude is more to punk then anything else(Watch Punk:Attitude It's a good documentry.


Also Sex pistols arent a joke. Also they werent manufactured they quit EMI. Without them you wouldnt have alot of the punk bands today.(And you had suggested Death For Cutie as punk. when you know thier indie idiot)

[clarity]

what is punk these days?
it's all stereotypical.

so which punk do you mean?
stereotypes like simple plan?
or real stuff like Rites Of Spring.

well actually Rites Of Spring is actually real Emotive Hardcore.

It really depends Simple Plan's record label say thier punk But we all know thier not.
Punk these days it really hard to find. Its not on the radio thats for sure.
Punk nowadays is crap well what the labels are trying to pass as punk. If you try some indie labels like Punkcore you'll find some good punk bands.

[*mipadi*]

Yeah your right but attitude is more to punk then anything else(Watch Punk:Attitude It's a good documentry.

Yes, but punk is also a music style, and punk music doesn't have exclusive rights to an antipolitical/antisocial attitude.

In the end it's all just a label anyway, and doesn't really matter, but for the purposes of genre-ing, I wouldn't label Rage Against the Machine's sound as "punk".

[*I Shot JFK*]

Green Day.
Good Charlotte.
Green Day.
Blink-182.
The Clash.

pick the odd one out... and then worry about her short term memory function.
