They have a ton of good songs. Some of favs. are: Drunken Lullabies, Black Friday Rule, Death Valley Queen, What's left of the Flag, and Rebels of the Sacred Heart.

[Cell]

I'd like to know what everyones favourite punk band is.

I'm just really curious!

I'd have to say, Minor Threat.

I don't listen to them as often as I used to, but they rock.

They rock hard.

[RyanfromtheShire]

GG Allin and the Murder Junkies.

Fuck yes.



edit: Crass! Crass is the greatest punk band ever.

[mow]

Iron & wine. Just look at him; not only is he a folk rocker, but he's a pirate too. That's as punk as it gets.

[Cell]

I actually can't decide between the awesome power of Minor Threats 'In My Eyes', the way Ian Mackaye is yelling, its like hes talking to you.

Or Husker Dus' 'What Do I Want?', Bob Mould screaming at the top of his lungs at the beginning of the track 'What do I want? What will make me happy?", is like a person dying.

Both are amazing.

[RyanfromtheShire]

Sam Beam is hardcore, dude. There are always mosh pits and riots at his shows.

[mow]

Sam Beam is hardcore, dude. There are always mosh pits and riots at his shows.

Things you will never hear in music :laugh

[Elijah Snow]

The Ramones, yes everyone has heard of them and says they listen to them, but to me they are the best punk band ever.

[Catatonik]

Well.

Leftover Crack
Choking Victim
World/Inferno Friendship Society
Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
Nomeansno
DOA
Bad Brains

and more ofcourse

[Emery]

Bad Brains takes the #1 spot for me. Black Flag comes in close second, though.

[Catatonik]

Heh that wasn't in order. I don't think I could say any of those are better to me than any of the others.

But all of those are some of the punk bands I spin the most.

[skunkworks]

Bad Religion
Strung Out
Lagwagon
Propagandhi
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

[Dark Evangel]

GREEN DAY my

[Slug]

flogging molly
h20
misfits
gwar
pennywise

[o0oEnderIlleso0o]

Black Flag. First punk band I'd ever heard and still the top of the list. Now THATS a feat.

[masterheadhunter]

gwar
black flags
the ramons
bad brains

[nimrod]

Offspring is punk rock right?I choose them

[less]

Right off the bat:

The Buzzcocks
The Clash
some Rancid
Rama-lama Das Punkabteilung

[Larethian]

Zabili Mi Żółwia - but it's probable between punk and ska

[Cell]

gwar
black flags
the ramons
bad brains

What is your favourite song by Bad Brains?

Who was the lead singer of Black Flag?

Also, I know Gwar.

*barfs*

[azuken]

My top punk bands are:
Champion
Casey Jones
The Aka's
The Ramones
The Clash
Bane
Bear vs Shark
Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Bomb Factory

God, Punk is so diverse, I love it.

[DyersEve]

Gwar rules.

I'd have to say Bad Religion is my favorite punk band. Or perhaps the Offspring's older albums.

[NeophyteNihilist]

Bad Religion is my favorite conventional punk band. Offspring and Greenday are really good too (yes, thats right, I did just say Greenday is good).

If we're allowed to pick folk punk bands, them my favorite is without question, Flogging Molly.

God, Punk is so diverse, I love it.
Thats because there is nothing that really defines punk. These days a punk band is basically any band whos lead singer is under 30 or any band who doesn't constantly scream.

[Catatonik]

What is your favourite song by Bad Brains?

Who was the lead singer of Black Flag?

Also, I know Gwar.

*barfs*

GWAR fucking own all.

You will get down on your knees and beg Oderous Urungus to cleanse you with his Unholy Meat Stick!

[Cell]

Gwar is cool... yet I wouldn't touch his wang.

[Catatonik]

It is pretty massive.

And spiked....

[Brother Wayne Kramer]

Someone doesn't notice sarcasm. :nuts

Raw Power isn't punk, it's pre-punk. :3

we call that proto-punk where i come from.
apparently the ballady slow songs were the record labels idea, not iggy's.
so, if it weren't for the record label, it would have been pure punk probably.

[The Thieving Queen]

One of my favourite punk bands that I can think of right off the bat would be Black Flag, you just have to love "TV Party". Another would be The Ramones, but come on who doesn't like them. And I don't know if they would be punk or alternive, or maybe even both, but the Smiths aswell.

[delirium]

"Favorite" type of threads seem to be popular in any part of the forum. This results in duplicate threads being created. I will be trashing or merging them and creating "official" threads for each that is made (i.e. genre favorites).

I'm doing this because one, I want to encourage the forum goers to use the search function. If they do so, they'll find one thread in which they can post in instead of 5 or 6. Two, this should also encourage variety. Threads present here will have range and hopefully keep the place fresh instead of having us just posting the same things over and over when duplicates are made.

Expect more to pop up. And if I'm missing some, feel free to PM me the links to duplicate threads that deserve being made "official".

Happy posting.
