lol. The Offspring aren't punk at all....
How about that "Ob La Di, Ob La Da" rip-off they released a few years ago? ("Honey, why don't you get a job") F'n joke of a band.

Ah come on The Offspring are cool enough! Sure they're a bit punk-pop-rocky but they're still good!
Sex Pistols, although a bit commercialised these days, are a must. Also bands like The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, At The Drive In (mmmmm), The Ramones, and Misfits (especially their earlier stuff, when Danzig was still with 'em) would be worth yer while as well.

Records Marked with a * are older, if found a lot of people getting into Punk or Hardcore stuff simply dismiss older records because of their sound Quality. Its understandable. records marked with ** Are simply must Haves! Misfits collections 1 and 2 arent marked with a ** cause they are old but they should be as no self respecting Punk Rawker would be caught dead without their misfits fix in the morning!

I wouldnt recommend The Clash London Calling for someone wanting to hear more punk stuff caust its simply not punk rock, at that stage The Clash were the ultimate band taking influences from every genre out there. Its not fast and its not heavy, its more Reggae and Ska on that Album


gar

bug

I liked Sham69 "hurry up Harry"
Jilted John "gordon is a moron"- think thats what it was called
two songs that always gave me a laugh

/edit to add
and SLF "suspect device"
Buzzcocks "ever fallen in love"

steveland?

The misfits all the way

Walk among us is one of my favourite albums ever.

Static age is in hmv now for about 15yoyos so that'd be a good place to start.


Dead kennedys
Stiff little fingers
The Buzzcocks
Black Flag (get damaged)
Minor threat (tower have a cheap ep for sale if you just wanna sample them)
The Descendents
Bad Brains
Bad Religion



By the way if youre into the whole vandals afi nofx type of music get short music for short people... 101 30 second long songs by 101 different bands from the fat wreck crew.

Defenitely a good place to start


Have fun
