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

I was more into Funk than Punk.
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 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.
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!"
Slayer had a punk album?
Not really, I mainly listen to other rock though (hard rock, grunge rock, classic rock, metal).

It's punk covers but it's badass.
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.
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.
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.
Union13.
Best punk band ever.
Punk Music? J????
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.
