Title: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Lowbacca on August 07, 2014, 04:44:34 AM So for all you "admirers or players of punk rock, typically characterized by coloured spiked hair and clothing decorated with safety pins or zips" (Oxford Dictionary) out there, what's your favOIrite band of that specific genre?
I put down as many relevant (known) bands as came to mind. Feel free to introduce your shabbily-glorious favourite band no one's ever hard of, though. :) (http://oi57.tinypic.com/2s0lmyt.jpg) P.S. I know 'punk' is a nebulous term - but please keep it as 'pure' as possible, meaning: any proto- or post-punk acts excluded. That's why there's no New York Dolls, Patti Smith or Joy Division in the poll. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Ovi on August 07, 2014, 04:59:18 AM Ramones, no doubt. One of my favourite bands full stop. Somedays I feel their music is everything rock 'n' roll should be, no more, no less. "It takes sophistication to understand the Ramones' simplicity".
Although to be honest, the best album album I've heard by a punk band is London Calling. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Ovi on August 07, 2014, 05:00:48 AM Damn, we're counting Stooges as punk? Gonna have to rethink my choice then...
Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Lowbacca on August 07, 2014, 05:06:48 AM Damn, we're counting Stooges as punk? Gonna have to rethink my choice then... Yeah, that wasn't a no-brainer, though.. some might label them as proto-punk and stuff, but to me.. those LPs.. damn, that's punk. Same reason I included MC5. But that sort of discussion is always imminent when talking about 'punk'... and we haven't started the whole UK vs. US punk yet. :-D Let's keep it contained to favourite bands, though. :PTitle: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND?

Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: bluesno1fann on August 08, 2014, 12:54:05 AM Probably either Sex Pistols or Ramones. Would like to get into more Punk music though.

Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Lowbacca on August 09, 2014, 01:20:29 AM No Music Machine? Where's the Germs and X, yo I know, I know.... :-\ But the Stooges were already a stretch and Music Machine just ain't punk in the narrower sense. Proto-punk, at best. Great garage rock, sure. As for Germs and X (yo!) - it goes without saying the selection for relevant bands in the poll was tough to begin with. I don't see Germs having the same kind of legacy as the other selected bands do. The X-cluding of the latter was a much more difficult decision.Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND?

Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: feelsflow on August 09, 2014, 12:01:30 PM I see I'm still the only vote for MC5. If that's a consideration they win. A great great band - I wore out the 2nd record when it came out. Punk before it was called Punk.
There is a thin line between what MC5 (and many others) did in the late 60's/early 70's - loud, fast garage/rock, and what The Ramones did - loud, fast, fighting over table scraps rock. They invented Punk Rock in and of the time in America. They had charisma and influence on what followed in both America and the UK. Both added melody after shocking the world with their first albums. As did Iggy and David (The Dolls were more Glam if you ask me), and many of the others that you could more rightly call Proto-Punk by definition. The Heartbreakers were Punk for sure. You are looking at the politic angle by placing MC5 here. And The Clash. Take away the politics and you have The Pretenders and Roxy. Roxy in the late 70's was little different from the DKs. Both influenced by The Ramones. One English band comes to mind that was not influenced by the Ramones - Radio Stars. Johnny was looking up at Andy Ellison on stage before there was a Sex Pistol. Andy was a Punk before The Ramones were heard about in England. England had their own Punk attitude, which as with The Ramones grew out of Garage Rock. You almost have to separate America's and the UK Punk origins, as they came from the same angst in the same period of time. Jet (one of Andy's earlier bands) were more Glam. But not Radio Stars - they were Punk. Martin Gordon was a punk too, as he was writing most of the material. He brought n the melody angle, Andy just liked to scream and cream. If they were on the list, they would get my vote. Was the Buzzcocks on the list? The Stranglers? Where does that leave Dire Straits? Too many thin lines. Politics. Politics had a lot to do with early Punk where I lived at the time. San Francisco in 1978 was Wild in the Streets (and Clubs). But that faded fast and became something else, something violent. The DKs had a lot to do with that. Who wants to go out to a club to get knocked around and beat up. Jello was asking for it, though I guess he would deny that now. Rollins and Biafra came across as politicians more than musicians. I did see them live - on stage and at City Hall. Strange, but interesting times. Nobody was going to elect them Mayor, or to the Board of Supervisors - not even in their own districts. But Punk is more than just politics. Modern politicians have music playing behind them. Let the argument continue. I'm sure I'll have to come back to clarify some of what I've said. but not today. It's Saturday, and I'm going to go get drunk. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND?

Opposite for me, I cannot stand the movie Sid & Nancy but I love The Sex Pistols, especially the pre-Sid days. I'm a Lydon fan and I find the actor who portrayed Johnny Rotten in Sid & Nancy to be too goofy to be Lydon, especially with his mannerisms and with the way he laughed and such. My favorite punk band is The Damned. I already said this in another punk-thread on this board, but in my opinion The Damned have always been more interesting, more talented, had better material and should've been way more famous. But instead people chose The Clash. I really don't see why people love 'em so much. I'm a huge punk fan but I never cared for The Clash. I never considered them punk. They're about as punk as U2 (whatever, just my opinion). Other than the Damned, I really love The Weirdos, The Dickies, Dead Kennedys, and The Germs (all from California). I absolutely LOVE The Ramones, only second to The Damned. Husker Du and Bad Brains were awesome. Some other great UK punk bands included The Buzzcocks, Johnny Moped, X-Ray Spex and the very noisey Chaos UK from Bristol. I don't care for the skinhead type of punk such as Oi! (it's spelled that way, with the "!"). The Oi! bands were BORING! Except maybe Sham 69, but they didn't consider themselves Oi!, they considered themselves a 'punk rock' band. All the other Oi! bands that I can think of, The Last Resort, The 4 Skins, The Exploited, Combat 84 and the lot.....blech! Okay, so you can play fast crappy chords and shout Oi! Oi! Oi! in every chorus and sing about right wing politics mixed with knuckle-head macho insecurity....give me the old '77 era punk bands any day. Lol, and all that stuff they play on the radio that they sometimes call 'punk', like Green Day....that's not punk kiddies. That's today's pop. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: feelsflow on August 09, 2014, 02:39:11 PM The party has started here, but let me take a moment to clarify.
Lowbacca, What I meant was if you have the Buzzcocks on the list, where does that leave Dire Straits? They were both (and with many others) in the UK Pub scene. Punks and rockers like early Costello, Nick, any of the Stiff Records gang, could be considered Punk. But The Heartbreakers were more the real deal. What year were they formed? They carry the Ramones influence. Again, thin lines and similar circumstances were creating both scenes in America and the UK. Poverty and a government out of their control - what else is new. What label did you put on The Jam? Even the kids coming out of affluent backgrounds were dealing with poverty as young adults. The Ramones didn't come out of the projects, though a lot of the UK kids were coming from the Council Housing. You know, like those savage young Beatles, save Lennon. And he didn't want anyone to know. Everyone, I didn't like The Sex Pistols. But do like the Sid and Nancy film. That is really about the scene, not just the Pistols. I do agree the actor playing Johnny wasn't even close. Lydon was a... Mike G., Love the dig at Green Day. What poseurs. I to this day have some kid posting complaints on youtube because I had the audacity to say "Warning...something, can't remember the whole title" was a rip of Ray Davies "Picture Book." But, The Clash have a place in history. Like the Pretenders, too much melody to be Punk, but good Rock. One of them married Pearl E. Gates - she was great. Still listen to that record once in a while, she was part of the Bay scene - Pearl Harbour and the Explosions. Early Clash was closer than not, with the political stuff - that was Joe though, not Mick. U2 never tried or said they were. so let's not pick on them or bring them into the subject. They were God's messengers. They protested a bit to go along with their peers. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: hypehat on August 09, 2014, 06:08:12 PM There are no other gods.

Post by: Lowbacca on August 10, 2014, 05:31:48 AM [...] I agree about the Heartbreakers. Formed in 1975. They made it into my first draft for the poll but in the end I left them out for bands which are more commonly associated with 'punk' in the narrower sense. To me, the Heartbreakers are a similar case like the New York Dolls. Important to the evolution that eventually turned into 'pure' punk, but not quite there yet. It's still great rock 'n' roll, though. [I guess a similar argument could be made about the MC5, the Stooges etc. etc.]But The Heartbreakers were more the real deal. What year were they formed? They carry the Ramones influence. Adolescents, Angry Samoans, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat: where are they? If I had included all those I would have had to include dozens of others as well. I wanted to limit the poll to arguably the 'biggest', most influential bands that could be considered 'punk'. But I think it's great all those countless other fantastic bands are mentioned. Might hook some of the folks here. I for one have never heard a Circle Jerks record in its entirety. Only a couple of scattered tracks ("Live Fast Die Young") here and there. Any recommendations?Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Sheriff John Stone on August 10, 2014, 05:54:38 AM My favorite band of the so-called punk era by far would be Television.

Not much thought went into choosing the 'angry' message icon. You know.. you open a thread.. you can choose the icon.. people rarely get creative there, so I decided to shake it up a bit. How anti-establishment of me. ;D If you wanted to read something into it you might say it was inspired by the British genealogy of punk music, rooted in the discontentment=>anger=>aggression of a large portion of its young (working class) population in the late 60s to late 70s. Rage is what I associate with the early, 'pure' UK punk. It was an entirely different thing before that in the US, obviously.Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND?

Post by: Lowbacca on January 18, 2015, 08:16:52 AM I noticed my copy of Damned Damned Damned by The Damned sounds really lo-fi / flat.... was it produced like that or did I get a bum copy? No it's supposed to sound like that. It's a raw album, and that's one of the reasons why it kicks so much ass. Punk always sounds better lo-fi imho. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Michael Edward Osbourne on January 18, 2015, 08:21:13 AM Yeah you're welcome anyway.
Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Michael Edward Osbourne on January 18, 2015, 08:29:20 AM Has anybody heard the latest Damned album "So Who's Paranoid"? Great album. The Damned still got it! Best album since "Strawberries" in my opinion. Captain Sensible...wot a talent!

But wrong genre... do we have a Funk thread on this board? I like 70s funk. For that matter, I like Grand Funk too...oops, wrong genre again...

I've saved it for the weekend.. Haven't heard that one yet. Would love to hear it. Pure Mania is one of my favorite UK Punk LPs of the 70s. My old band opened for them in 2002. They had the whole place pogoing up a storm! Great band, nice fellas. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Michael Edward Osbourne on January 23, 2015, 05:46:51 PM I gotta mention this, too...
Tonight I was watching a re-run of CHiPS (an episode called Battle Of The Bands). This episode featured some of the funniest punk-exploitation TV stuff from back in the day. Some 'new wavers' get their band's gear stolen from some violent 'punkers' who just happen to be in a band called Pain. Anyway...there's a battle of the bands (which the new wavers win...even beating Ponch who sang 'Celebration Time'...lol). During the battle of the bands this violent punk band Pain beats up the club owner, beats up some people in the audience, they even beat themselves up too...funny sh!t. Quincy had an episode like this too. New Wave = Safe/ Punk = Not Safe. Makes me wanna listen to some real punk...Fear The Record, anyone? Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND?

Post by: Michael Edward Osbourne on March 04, 2015, 04:12:12 PM GOING TO SEE THE BUZZCOCKS NEXT WEEK :-D (http://i.imgur.com/E8jdqYY.jpg) Have fun! The Buzzcocks always deliver. Saw them 4 or 5 times during the 90s, and they kicked ass every time. Pete Shelley & Steve Diggle still got it, man! Not too many of the original 70s punks (other than the Damned) still kickin' it that good regularly. Hope you pogo up a storm! btw, favorite Buzzcocks song is 'Nostalgia'.

What an underrated musician he is. Not a bad song on the entire album too. Stranger On The Town, Generals, Dozen Girls...should've been hits! This is a synth-free album (written on the back sleeve).

Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND? Post by: Michael Edward Osbourne on March 23, 2015, 12:04:51 PM Question Mark and the Mysterians Awesome proto punk. Dave Marsh referred to them as "punk rock" in a 1971 Creem Magazine article. 1971! That's before spiked hair and pogo dancing! Back in then 80s I bought a casstette on the ROIR label called '96 Tears Forever - The Dallas Reunion Tapes'. That's the tape that got me into the genre of 'garage rock'. One of the best releases from the ROIR label, which mostly put out punk related stuff. Title: Re: YOUR FAVOURITE PUNK BAND?

Post by: kookadams on March 27, 2015, 08:46:06 PM Jus that he only cared for instro surf music and not the BB/j&d so kinda made me feel like it wasnt so much music he cared about but just using it as a vehicle for his political rants yknow..
