Who's your favourite punk, rock band

Remove all ads!

Like a lot of music genres, punk music comes from rock 'n roll. When rock 'n roll became more commercial in the early 70's, because of bands like The Rolling Stones, Kiss and David Bowie, punk music developed. Punk was widely known in the mid-seventies, with bands like the Ramones. They wanted to bring the essence of rock 'n roll back; to bring over a message of dissatisfaction about things. Punk musicians probably had a lot of competition from people who still made 'real', non-commercialized rock 'n roll, like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. Nowadays, the same as what happened with rock 'n roll, is happening with punk. A lot of bands, who probably want to get famous in a hurry, are making the music more commercial.

Anyhow, punk music is not one of my favorite genres, but I can appreciate it sometimes. I sometimes listen to music from the Offspring, or an occasional song from the Clash (Should I Stay or Should I Go), the Ramones (Blitzkrieg Bop), or modern bands like Alien Ant Farm (Smooth Criminal).

BTW - Tenacious D is a great band, but they don't make punk in my opinion.

 

Correction Velve, that's what punk was. Not what it now is.
Though some things that Blink 182 and possibly The Offspring are putting out now is rather pathetic. They both have very good older songs though.

 

I know, to keep everyone happy lets just say whos your favouite band, but no rap, pop, hip-hop etc etc...

 

Five Iron Frenzy. Numero dos (That's Spanish )? Probably the RAmones.

 

I'm not one for punk, but I do enjoy Pink--Pink Floyd, that is!

 

The Clash, all the way. Great punk died with Joe Strummer.

 

Me liking those Clash-oldies too. London calling, I fought the law, Rock the casbah, Should I stay or should I go.

But there is this awesome song from whatever band -> I get knocked out, but I get up again, pissing the night away...

 

Chumbawamba. That song became a hit which is really weird. They're a peculiar band and a number of the members used to be in another band...... can't believe I can't think of it, back in the 70's. Chumbawamba has been around since the 80's iirc and pretty much an underground following - they're really, really left as in ANARCHY!! type left - and then that song becomes a teeny bopper hit. Weird.

A mom and son in the same band is also a bit different.

 

Misfits. Since when has Tenacious D been punk...

 

their a kind of rock but that was included in the title "punk, ROCK " so if you want to be pickey I'll say Whitmore and FGC (Flame Grilled Chinchillas)!...

 

Definately the Ramones and the Clash (if you consider them punk).
I never really thought of the Offspring as punk, but I love their (earlier) music. I saw them in the gym at Western Connecticut State University in the early 90's (Smash tour) and the absolutely kicked ass.

 

The Offspring are great!

 

The Offspring were wicked with the Self Titled album, Firestarter, Smash and Ixnay, but after that they've turned into a big pile of Linkin Park like crap.

 

Evanescence, Nighwish, linkin park and stratovarius

 

My faveriot punk band is Anti Flag greenday was punk but then got into the corprite crap like linkin park pink and all the other mtv bands that sound like crap!

 

There were a few good songs on Americana, though they were no where near as good as those before it. And Conspiricy of One just plain sucked.
Ameorn, there is no way in hell that Linkin Park are punk.

 

Of course they're punk, they were one of the bands that really made punk popular.

 

I like Green Day...whatever Good Charlotte and Bowling for Soup are, I like them too.

 

Green Day is awesome, so's Boxcar Racer, Sugarcult.... oh, i forgot, Good Charlotte

 

Ameon, Evanescence are not punk. I'm really not sure what they would come under, most likely they are lumped into 'goth' because of their 'image'
