Does anyone care for punk? I love it. Skaa even is great... anyone else agree?
and ahem, what about emo? I heart emo. (dazed)(mohawk2)(mohawk1)(fish)
I heart punx (drool)(square)
-
punk music is only for punks. they can only power chord. no talent at all.
-
emo is just depressing.
-
I hate Emo
-
social distortion is punk and i bet that the lead singer,mike ness's i q is higher than most of america.jello biafra is another punk.lead singer of the dead kennedys.
and what about the ramones?no talent?then why did they last so long?
you will find the average punk listener is a yuppie who earns three figures a year and that most punk preformers aren't worried about money.
-
Yes, Ramones rock, and Rancid, and the Vandals and Casualties and Exploited and Transplants and all that good stuff? no one likes any of these? *sigh* wow, surprising, sort of disapointing.
and emo is actually quite good, most people just hear other people say emo sucks then they go around saying it, that's bullsh*t ><
Any one like Bright Eyes?
-
haven't had the pleasure.
i like the vandals,no fx,mojo nixon,samhain,the pirates,apolyptic hoboken,and lots of others...
-
i like punk, but what they call "punk" nowadays is just crap. it's not about the music and message anymore, it's just aobut what you wear and your hairdo.
my favorite punk bands are
1. the clash
2. ramones
3. mc5
4. sex pistols
5. dead kennedys

pc is right.
Greg Graffin of Bad Religion has a PHD in Evolutionary Biology, he's probably one of the most intelligent persons in America, yet he prefers to play with his punk band and earns basically nothing.
Dexter Holland of The Offspring has a bachelor's degree in biology and a masters in molecular biology.

i think you'd have to be pretty smart to play music and do it well. as well as there are smart people in the music industry i'm pretty sure there are many dumb ones too.
jessica simpson any1 she could have a harvard degree in reading things by only their literal meanings?
-
The Stooges and The Dead Kennedys are pretty good.
-
I was more into the post punk bands
Joy Division
Xtc
Talking Heads.
Jesus and The Mary Chain
Clash
I think its wrong to say punk bands had no talent. Listen to the Sex Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks" - its a very clever little album, and their singles are great pop songs hidden under that noise.
Without them we could still be grooving to Yes and Emmerson Lake and Palmer
-
About 2/3 of my 2000 CD's are punk/hardcore CD's
I play in 3 punk/hardcore bands
I go to 50-60 punk/hardcore gigs per year
So yeah... You could say I'm kinda into punk. :)
-
And I like emo too.
-
The Sex Pistols & the Clash are two of the most important punk rock bands of all time while lame so called punk rockers like Green Day are a joke.
-
punk music is only for punks. they can only power chord. no talent at all.
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I could list about a dozen people in well-known punk rock bands that have a doctorate, and several dozens of people in famous rock bands that have a punk rock background.

Milo Aukerman of the Descendents also has a PhD in Biology.
Greg Graffin also made a superb (mostly piano driven) solo album under the name American Lesion. Highly recommended.

not to many MC5 fans here?
-
Not totally my thing, but hearing some of it's pretty good once in a while.
Semi-unrelated...I'm in this guitar-class thing at school, and we were listening to the Beatles [^^;; I brought it in, fun.] ... the teacher starts playing "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" pretty fast on his guitar. "A lot of the punk bands use this same thing..." -- that really amazed/freaked out some of the kids in the class. XDD;;
Rather unrelated, but it's a Beatles forum. Someone's naturally just gonna momentarily divert into that.
-
every band has at least a 1% influence of The Beatles, even if they dont know it
-
punks okay
not the best
-
Anyone heard of the Exploited? or maybe the Transplants or the Casualties?
and what do you all think about the Indestructable album from Rancid? I looooooooooooooooove it.
-

Green Day IS punk. The punk underground (including Maximum Rocknroll, the self-proclaimed punk rock police) loved their first two albums, and called them sell-outs when Dookie became a million-seller, even though they never changed their style a bit.
And sure, Green Day is very poppy, but so were The Buzzcocks, The Members, The Ramones and Stiff Little Fingers, but you never hear anyone say that they're not punk...
-
Yellowcard? Really?
Yeah. Great band. Good singer, awesome drummer, great songwriting.
-
yellow card has one good song
that's it.
-

You can't say that unless you know all their songs.
Do you?
-
i can't believe noone mentioned the dead milkmen or the plasmatics.....

-
Punk is awesome, one of my fav types of rock.

Metal, Punk, love Hard Rock, punk, alternative

I got into punk more out of curiousity (to get a better historical perspective on the late 70's musically), rather than having liked what I heard. But there are some bands I really came to enjoy. I love the first 5 Ramones albums (with Road to Ruin as my favourite), great rock 'n' roll. Play their self-titled back to back with Little Richard's debut and you'll find the same type of energy, excitement and fun. The Clash are great too. Not too many bands can start out as punk then go in a million directions without losing the spirit. The Sex Pistols record is pretty entertaining, if not memorable throughout. Steve Jones is the true star of the record, not Johnny Rotten IMO (or God forbid, Sid Vicious, who doesn't even play on it). NOFX are good too, I love bands who don't take themselves seriously. Haven't heard much Green Day, but Basket Case is a classic (then again, they also have that song with the "I hope you had the time of your life" part, ugh).

NOFX is great. They haven't made a bad album in 25 years and they're one of the funniest and most entertaining live bands you'll ever see. Especially their albums 'Punk in Drublic' and 'So Long and Thans for All the Shoes' are great. Also be sure to check out their 'Backstage Passport' documentary. It's about a really crazy world tour they did a few years ago. NOFX figured that their tours were too safe and smooth, they wanted to do another tour that would be a complete disaster like in the old days. So they got a few really shady South American promotors with bad reputations to set up some shows for them, went to Asian countries where virtually nobody ever heard of NOFX, and to countries where they had a good chance of getting in trouble with authorities simply for being a punk band. And they brought a chronically drunk road manager. That's one of the greatest rock 'n' roll adventures you'll ever see.
'Kerplunk!' and 'Dookie' by Green Day are excellent, lots of really great songs on those albums. '39/Smooth' and 'Insomiac' have a few good songs too. But you can live without everything they did after that.

Sounds great Joost, I'll check it out. Have you ever seen 'em live? I love Punk In Drublic, excellent combination of menacing speed and catchy hooks. And 'My Heart is Yearning' is just hilarious. I'll have to look for other of their albums.
-
I've seen them several times since the late 90s and I'm seeing them again two weeks from now. They're always sloppy, underrehearsed, and talking too much, but somehow never disappointing.
-
Hope you enjoy the concert. I get how they are not disappointing - live shows are not about perfection. Just caught a glimpse of a Pink concert on HBO, she was doing all kinds of acrobatics while singing which was kind of entertaining, but otherwise ALL the songs sounded exactly like the studio versions. Now where's the fun in that?
