Your Top5 punk style bands

ferdi

What are your 5 favorite bands which you consider to have a punk edge to any degree? this does not mean your favorite bands have to be punk bands, i'm just looking for your favorite punk style bands, easy eh?

i dont want this to turn into a "teh band aint Punx En-Uff!!!" thread - this is personal to each person.

i know its hard to keep it to 5 and personally my favorites change on a weekly basis but you can always edit as you see fit

mine right now, in no particular order:

Operation Ivy
Nofx
Stiff Little Fingers
Dead Milkmen
Bad Religion

dregin

Right now it's:

Runnin Riot
The Pogues
Anti-Flag
1000 Drunken Nights
Violen Society

Changes too often to be definitive though.

OLP

1000 Drunken Nights
Mouthpiece
Intensive Care
Motorhead
The Freebooters

Likely to change by next week.

Ag marbh

Striknien DC
Cock Sparrer
And in no particular order

To OLP and Dregin: what's so special about 100 Drunken Nights, I have their Ep or whatever you call it but I don't really find it that original or unique in the slightest?
I'm not having a go at ye I'm jsut honestly curious and this is all just my own opinion

At the moment me favourites are

Dag Nasty
Husker Du
Stomach Inc
Dinosaur Jr
Runnin' Riot

OLP

I felt exactly like that when I first listened to it. But a few days I started listening to it and the 2nd 2 songs, "Downtown Depravity" and "Kerbstones" are ****ing brilliant IMO now. The first 2 are still pretty good aswell.

dregin

Yeah I prefer the last two tracks. They were great live in Belfast when me and Janer went up. Don't really care if they're original or not, they still RAWK

dregin

heh, I take it you'll be in Voodoo on Thursday for runnin riot then Born... ?
Saw the Opressed in Frankfurt before Christmas. Can't remember too much of their set.... due to beer, but I don't think they'd be one of my favourites. Got stations of the crass and penis envy LPs in borderline the other week but still haven't had a decent listen. Only got runnin' riot in 84 coz of the Belfast band tbh, although it seemed to be a pretty good record from the few times I've listened to it.

They're the type of band that its just scary to think how they got a record deal. Myself and a mate laughed a good 5 minutes-straight after seeing their video. They're not even marketable at the very least!! Why ANY record company would want them is truly baffling!!

I did always prefer the female voice when it comes to singing, PJ Harvey, Kim Deal, Tanya Donelly and Kristin Hersh too I do listen to male fronted bands too though: New York Dolls, Velvet Underground. Most male-fronted punk is too threatening for me though

Edit: Incidently, it's this sense of feeling threatened and unsafe which comes accross in the music of PJ harvey, Sleater-Kinney and Bikini Kill which I identify with.

Music is a window to the soul and people listen to music they can identify with, thus a lot of punks can identify with the sense of righteous, anti-authoritarian anger that is at the heart of punk music. other people attracted to other music for the same reasons: They can identify with it.

I don't think there's any call to be sarcastic about the music I identify with.

Actually, I wouldn't be sarcastic about or slag off anyones taste in music as this is their soul you're slagging off and being sarcastic about, and I've never met anyone who enjoys that

dregin

Paranoid Visions == a nice balance of both
