Rancid or Green Day?!

Jesus of suburbia is a 9 minute long song made up of 5 parts and roots radicals is just a simple catchy little jingle :eek:

I love both songs. but JOS is well better. put it agianst a song like "who would have thought" and it might be a different story

Rancid all the way, I am not sure Green Day is a punk band anymore.

The only other band to be compared with Rancid? easy, NOFX.

And I suppose Bald Religion. What the hell are they up to these days?

In fairness compared to alot of English/European punk, American punk bands are ****, with a few honourable exceptions of course

Yeah. Ya can pretty much count the good U.S. punk bands on your fingers. There are very few from the last 10 years too. The Casualties, A Global Threat...... ehhhh.....

Black NG-60-90

Bollocks that. You can't say all American bands are rubbish. Theres a tonne of great american punk bands out there and just cos you don't like them doesn't mean they're ****e.

For me, I always seem to think that England had the punk fashion but that America had the music.

I can say whatever I think and I think for the most part American bands are muck.

:rolleyes: Stop trying to be such a punk.

If I had wanted to stamp out your opinion I would have been a lot more blatant. Your compltetly entitled to say what you want but saying that all american punk bands are crap is being narrow-minded and using what I like to call tunnel vision.

So if you don't like a band does that make them universally bad, regardless of other peoples take on them?

The answer to that Q. is no btw.:)

England had amazingly good bands like the Clash and Blitz, sadly the pistols were in my opinion overhyped and only had a few good songs and there were awful little bands like the Snivelling ****s.

America in my opinion had much better bands than a lot of the british: ramones, Black flag, Op IVy and of course Dead Kennedys and Bad Religion.

I'm not getting into naming bands but I'll say I think The Clash and The Pistols are shìte. But that is in no way all England has to offer

I adore the Clash, absolutely fantastic band but their good albums are limited.
Ah well, the pistols only had about 5 good songs anyway IMHO.
