Favorite Punk Band
With the Punk Rock Prom nigh, I was thinking of punk rock itself. There have been many eras and varieties of punk, but my favorite stuff tends to be what California disgorged in the late 70s, beginning with X. Lyrically, they are absolutely my favorite punk band. Exene Cervenka has a heck of a way with words: "My nights are numbered. They don't count for nothing." And Billy Zoom's rockabilly-inflected guitar work is a joy forever.
What say ya'll?
A better job awaits

1st 3 punk bands I ever heard and are still my favs are:
Subhumans/ Dead Kennedys/ Fear/
But some of my all time fav punk bands are:
Rancid/ Ramones/ Dropkick Murphys/ Exploited/ Swinging Utters/ Black Flag/ X/ Social Distortion/ Dwarves/ Zeke
Dead Kennedys and Social Distortion are way up there for me, as well.
Millencolin is my all time favorite band.
The Misfits, NOFX, Descendants, Guttermouth, Face to Face, The Vandals, Pennywise, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes round up the bands I listened to the most.
I haven't listened to any new punk rock in years....but back in high school that's about all I listened to...and I still rock those CD's when my MP3 player dies. I can get into some soft core punk these days...but the hardcore stuff sounds a lot like noise to me. I never dug the Clash or Sex Pistols...that was the punk origins and all...but I just couldn't get into it.
baaaad braaaaains!!! dead kennedys. the MISFITS! im getting into the early work of the U.K. Subs and its proving awesome. my girlfriends fave is Millencolin (swedish d-beat skate punk!)
i really shouldnt have started posting because now i want to start a rant about what my understanding of what punk was and is now - how you can, by definition, call a band like bikini kill punk AND be able to call my chemical romance punk too (but we both know which one is really just a pop band :))
