Punk Music

[Leetonidas]

Do any of you guys listen to punk music?

[alamobear]

used to in college, then i started listening to ska, then the trumpets and sax became to much so i turned back into 90s alternative and pretty much all types of music now

[Leetonidas]

I don't really like Ska. I could never get into that.

I'm talking stuff from now though, like Cheap Sex, The Virus, The Casualties, Complete Control, A Global Threat, Lower Class Brats, KrumBums, Clit 45, and so on.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:vomit:

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I've passed through my punk phase long ago but a couple bands still kick ass to me and I still listen to them on occasion. The most notable is Ten Foot Pole. Fun to play, fun to listen to.

[gameFACE]

I just happen to be listening today to an old compilation I had that included The Clash, The Dead Boys and Circle Jerks.

Saying you listen to punk today, though, is like saying you listened to rockabilly in the '80's. It's well past its prime.

[dirk4mvp]

I used to. Sum 41 was pretty good.

[slayermin]

I saw Gang Green and Aggression in Long Beach last week. They were doing a fund raiser for the guitarist of DRI who has cancer.

[johngateswhiteley]

yes.

It may just stem from a need to justify my ten-year-old Stray Cats tattoo, but I'm of the opinion that the 80's rockabilly phase will never be past its prime.

Well rockabilly's prime was really the late 50's and you got your tattoo in the 90's. Maybe you could also get an Eddie Cochran tattoo, CF.

What I meant was that 80's rockabilly was retro 50's just like todays punk is retro late 70's. A mohawk is really 30 years old as "punk style". And as long as 80's retro is still around so will the Stray Cats.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

try listenin to some techno flavoured punk, like Atari Teenage Riot.

[Shaolin-Style]

Rocket from the crypt definitely kicks ass, they'll be missed.

[midgetonadonkey]

I used to. Sum 41 was pretty good.

That is not real punk. That is bubblegum punk.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Avril Lavine.

[midgetonadonkey]

Avril Lavine.

:lmao I hope you were just saying that to be funny.

[CuckingFunt]

Good Charlotte.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

:lmao I hope you were just saying that to be funny.

Yes, I was. I had to listen to daily tirades about her in high school from two guys that sat next to me in my math class. The word "poser" was used so many times it's lost all meaning to me.

[midgetonadonkey]

Good Charlotte.

Another comical entry.

[batman2883]

is for people who hate their parents and will never forgive them

[JoeChalupa]

I remember the Punk Rock scene.

[midgetonadonkey]

Slayer's punk album, "Indisputed Attitude" is fantastic.

[JoeChalupa]

But I didn't get into it. Listened to some Ramones and Sex Pistols but that was about it.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Discharge, G.B.H., Dayglo Abortions, Raw Power, Final Conflict, Dead Kennedys, Yellow Machine Gun, Drop Dead..........
..........that's punk.

[CuckingFunt]

I like early punk, but stopped following it too closely when it split into new wave.

[Jerome]

I was more into Funk than Punk.

[gameFACE]

Didn’t know too much about punk until ’77 or ’78 when I would read Creem (insert joke here) at the newsstands downtown while waiting for the bus to go home from school. ’78 was also when the Sex Pistols came to town. Didn’t see them, though. I was still under age. It was hard to get the music here in SA but I liked Iggy & the Stooges and Richard Hell and the Voivoids. I really didn’t even see Iggy Pop live until the late 80’s.

Now that is more like a list of punk rock bands I like. Just missing

Bad Religion.

[Summers]

My husband loves the Clash (and had a blue mohawk a few years ago, which would probably shock anyone who knows him now as the responsible accountant that he is). Our 3-year-old will randomly start singing, "London Bridge is falling down! London Bridge is falling down!"

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Slayer had a punk album?

[ALVAREZ6]

Not really, I mainly listen to other rock though (hard rock, grunge rock, classic rock, metal).

[midgetonadonkey]

It's punk covers but it's badass.

[Guru of Nothing]

My opinion - The Clash is NOT punk rock.

Punk rock and musical talent are mutually exclusive. Punk rockers with talent quickly evolved into something that was not punk rock.

Now, "punk rock" is strictly a marketing term - And I LOVE the new song - "Punk Rocker" by the Teddy Bears (Iggy Pop) used for marketing Cadillacs. It's not a punk song by anyone's stretch of the imagination, but it's still excellent.

[CharlieMac]

I used to be a huge punk music snob. I'd make fun of people who listened or didnt listen to certain bands.

Now I make fun of peopel that are well into their 20's and are still music snobs.

Back on topic, I'll still throw in a Good Riddance, Nofx, or No Use For a Name cd every now and then. You kind of just grow out of it. I listen to just about anything now except for country and tejano. I wont knock other people for what they listen to though.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Good Riddance started out good but they sucked after Operation Phoenix. NUFAN, and all those fat wreck chord bands including lagwagon all seemed to start out very raw and edgy but ended up making an independent non-poppy pop punk style that poised each of them for selling out, unfortunatley not all of them were so lucky.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Union13.

Best punk band ever.

[spurs=bling]

Punk Music? J????

[midgetonadonkey]

I still dig the Vandals and NOFX. I think they both have a somewhat poppy sound but since they never sold out they are still relatively punk. NOFX will always be punk because of their anti-establishment themes and alcohol induced drive. Wolves in Wolves Clothing is a great NOFX album.
