Okay, while we are on it - best punk group ever?
 

obviously subjective but hey that is part of the fun.

My votes (sort of in order depending on my mood)

The Buzzcocks
The Sex Pistols
The Clash (though my other half will argue until his death that they weren't really punk..screw him..lol)
The Ramones
The Dammed


that is a start

dam those are old school i was thinking more along the lines of NoFx, Pennywise, Lagwagon, Less Than Jake, even Greenday..

well nothing wrong with those either..just my tastes run to older punk with a side order or modern.

Greenday I like in the right mood but they are a poor person's Clash :)

Of 'modern' punk I like Rancid the most I suppose.

Dead Kennedys

Didn't see Black Flag on that list. :(

btw kids...greenday isn't punk. Never has been, never will be. Try on some Clash or Sex Pistols and then burn your Greenday CD's. :)

yea was never really into greenday there real mainstream, any of you guys ever hear of Strung Out? get this sond if you can

Strung Out - Matchbook

if that song doesn't get you going nothin will :thumbsup

Sex pistols invented punk!!!!

well they started out much closer to punk then they are now when they were touring with pansy division, etc but these days they are punk-pop.

doesn't make them the best at it...i like them a GREAT deal. Heck, part of the reason I let my husband fuck me for the first time was that he was on the boat in the Thames when the Pistols got arrested for playing. However, musically, I think there are a few better..the Buzzcocks especially.

Btw..my fave punk song is and always will be the Dammed version of Jet Boy, Jet Girl.

Pennywise :thumbsup

Green Day are just a weird eveloution of punk but i tend to lean towards the clash and sex pistols myself...

Do we really have no Rancid fans in here?!

The Plasmatics. Wendy O Williams baby.

ooyeah.

mentioned them above..they are important to me just because Timebomb was on the radio in the car when I 'came out' to my mom as a punk chick. That sounds silly but it was as bad as me telling her that I anally raped her grandmother while pouring sugar in her gas tank.

good pick..just listening to butcher baby

The Clash will probably always be my favorite, because they were my first exposure to punk music. (the first album I ever bought with my own $ was Combat Rock)

Old Punk:
-Black Flag
-sex pistols
-ramones
-stiff little fingers
-DK
-Exploited
-GBH
-Meatmen

New(er) punk:
-Pennywise
-Rancid


and the end all-be-all of Punk-Metal synergy: MOTORHEAD!

I like NOFX.

They've stay true the the "punk" philosophy. Their tunes kick ass. And they've heavily influenced a lot of the newer bands out there today.

Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Cro-Mags, Youth of Today, Ryker's, the Dwarves, the Exploited, Minor Threat, Reagan Youth, NoFX.

Edit: Ofcourse, the Bouncing Souls need to be in here.

I say NOFX.

I vote for the Clash :)

Indiscriminate I'd rather be elite
I'll choose my own shit scene
Unsubstantiated rumors flown are true
I'm here for me not you

Nonconglumurate I mean what I say
I'm not your fucking scape
Goat apparently I've alienated some
It seems my job's half done

You'll never understand it
Try to buy and brand it
I win, you lose, cause it's my job
To keep punk rock elite

This music ain't your fuckin' industry

I am unsure I would agree with that, there were also The Stooges and MC5 can't forget them

I would have to say:
Black Flag
The Exploited
Clash
Sex Pistols

How has no one said The Misfits??

GBH
Circle Jerks
The Ramones


As far as modern no one has named Operation Ivy

Rancid of course

Bad Religion

Let us discuss these then I will list more

I just named my favorite. Love the Misfits. :thumbsup

Let me make sure to specify that I mean Danzig era not Jerry Only.

Danzig is up there with Joe Strummer as the voice most people try and copy..

They're biggest (only?) hit was written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.

As a Kiss fan I always thought that was cool. :thumbsup

The Dead Milkmen

dead kennedys or black flag

The Damned are probably my favorite
The Ramones
Sex Pistols
Butthole Surfers
Bad Brains
DRI (pre-Crossover)
Dead Kennedys
GBH
Government Issue
The Exploited
The Meatmen/Gang Green
Agnostic Front
Circle Jerks
Agent Orange
The Stooges
GG Allin
The Sic Fucks
The Plasmatics (I really really really want to write/direct a Wendy O Williams biopic some day)
X
nofx
The Dead Milkmen
The Crumbsuckers

Ludichrist was kinda parody punk, not sure if they count

Sex Pistols without a doubt :thumbsup

I never thought of Butthole Surfers as punk. They're really in a universe of their own :winkwink:

NoFx and Pennywise are good. But Sex Pistols are cool too. I've some albums of them.

I like millencolin and dead kennedys

to name a few more of my favourites:

NOFX
Strung Out
No Use For A Name
No Fun At All
Lagwagon
59 Times the Pain
Propagandhi
Millencolin

Millencolin - Mr. Clean is still one of my favourite songs :)

Mest and Yellowcard!

my vote goes to The Sex Pistols :glugglug

:thumbsup
