Had to go with British there,
although the Huskers almost flung me to Hardcore (but ive never heard of the other two )
Hardcore: Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys.
For the UK: Discharge, The Exploited, Chaos UK, Disorder and GBH.
A little bit of everything I suppose, not mad about anything in particular, but a quick look at the iPod reveals stuff by Rancid, the Ruts, the Slits, Dead Kennedys and Ramones...

Good, I'm not alone now.
I think British punk is top notch too, though.

I'm shocked!
Always thought you were a hardcore electro freak who sat in his room obsessing over BPM's.

warsaw!!
Amen to that, brother! 
For me, the Clash was what did me in for Punk. Best punk band ever, in my opinion.
In fact, Britpunk rules, period! END OF!

So you have a soft spot for Sham 69?

Nope! They had a certain racist following too as I recall?
Liked The Sex Pistols too but not at the time it must be said, I was too busy with Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, John Foxx, Gary Numan et al

They did by they were resoudingly anti racist.
And Numan was a Tory!
I'm a bit dumfounded by these categories. Those are real ska bands? I'll take the specials.
Social D. , and misfits are rockabilly?
I'll take husker du,misfits,television, bad brains, dead kennedys , blondie, and bad religion. I don't need these categories...

Something he regrets saying now apparently. Tears For Fears were too I think?, but then again, they were shite!
