Best Punk Grouping

So in land of Punk music, who would be king (or the one to tear it all down)?????

and NO Joy Division is not included in thisNo complaints about this, or you'll be dressed as a lamb and given to Tabsy for the night!

Damn it!!

British or New York

Had to go with British there, although the Huskers almost flung me to Hardcore (but ive never heard of the other two )

NOFX and Offspring

Greenday

TV Smith entirely on his own.

Bollocks to categorisation. Pistols, Ramones, Kennedys, Huskers.

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...

Snorri xxx

i was into the the original british punk/new wave pistols,stranglers,banshees,x ray spex,buzzcocks,sham 69 etc

the clash ,,in a class of there own.

warsaw!!

Has to be New York,for me The Ramones were the best punk band in the world.

i really love rancid, nofx, anti-flag, some dead kennedys and offspring

Where's the box for Conflict, Crass, Subhumans etc.. F**king quality - still does the biz nowadays for me

I was always a big Buzzcocks fan myself.

i've decided to vote for New York Punk group

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.

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?

If you have a problem with it, email a mod

Wasn't it The Exploited who played "Fuck the Mods"?

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...

Indeed. Everyone knows Dead Kennedys and Black Flag were hardcore punk.

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

I'm all for the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones, Blondie,Television, and Dead Kennedys.

Good call on the TFF front.

Although I'm sure Numan only votes Tory to keep his (little amounts of)cash safe!

I knew I wouldn't make everyone happy, as punk isn't easily catagorized, as most bands bleed into one or more catagories. However.....

Not sure what you consider "real" ska, but they are considered ska.

Social D. , and misfits are rockabilly?

Although I knew I'd get shit for putting them there, its for good reason. Mike Ness did 2 cds solo rockabilly, after hearing this you'll hear the rockabilly in social D. Also for the Misfits, listen to Project 1950 and you'll hear rockabilly in the rest of their albums.

Maybe, but hardcore is so diverse, and the early cali movement was big that I thought I'd break them into it.

Where is Oi!-category. That's what i like. Cockney Rejects, 4-Skins, Business, Angelic Upstarts etc. My alltime favourite top 3 would be Ramones Cockney Rejects Misfits.

Sorry Edel, can't bring myself to vote for just one love 'em all for a variety of reasons, though I've never been a fan of the Misfits, always thought Glenn Danzig took himself waaaaay to seriously, always preferred the Tesco Vee/Meatmen approach to things myself, or even the Minutemen, Replacments and Meat Puppets.

'n hey.....Corvallis wasn't such a total drag in the entertainment area....KBVR and the show Radio Harcorvallis did a wonderful service playing all of that stuff when it mattered (three best shows from my memory: the Kennedy's at the Benton County Fairgrounds, Scratch Acid at the Oddfellows Hall, and X played at Wes's (it's now a coffee shop on Third Street) Good times.

What is punk anyway. Isn't it just an attitude. I like some of the bands from all grouping here.
