A lot of bands listed that most wouldnt really consider punk but that's ok. During high school, Fitzgerald's was like a second home. So many good punk bands used to come through there. Could see 3 or 4 good bands for like $10. I was mainly into Fat and Epitaph bands but those were the 2 main punk labels during the time with lookout and fearless around also. I was pretty naive at the time of the older bands like Germs, Bad Brains, etc. Those were some good times back then. Then all of a sudden emo bands started coming around and the huge wave of sellout bands....Blink182 ruined that scene pretty much. I even blame them for turning AFI lame. The only bands that still put out great music from those days are Propagandhi and the ever consistent Bad Religion. On a side note, it's pretty funny to think back about how I would jam something like mxpx and think about how my parents and friends would never understand my music. I listen now and it is so poppy and tame lol.
7 Seconds - Walk Together, Rock Together Dead Kennedys - Bedtime for Democracy (really any DK will do, I choose Bedtime becasue it has a ton of songs) Misfits - Walk Among Us Minutemen - Paranoid Time The Dwarves - Sugar Fix John Cougar Concentration Camp - 'Til Niagara Falls The Nobodys - GREATASSTITS Bad Religion - How Could Hell Be Any Worse ('80-'85) Funeral Oration - Survival The Hates - New World Oi, Texas Insanity, Forbidden Existence, Greatest Hates
This is the best punk rock album of all time, and it's not even really close. Not an original take, but it's too difficult to deny.
There are differently styles of punk rock. But yes, London Calling is pretty much an archetype of the genre.
It isn’t raw punk rock like their earlier work but they had established themselves as a legit punk band already by that point. The Clash will always be known as a “punk” band even though most of their popular music isn’t really punk. A song like “White Riot” is punk where “Rock the Casbah” not so much.
Heh, I was wondering. I have been in music discussions where people were arguing that London Calling was closer to New Wave or Post-Punk, so forgive me.
since it's evolved into bands outside of the 90's, Agent Orange and The Deadmilkmen are a couple of other bands that popped into my head last night... I'm bad at remembering band names I tend to lean toward the punk that has a little silliness to it, like the Ramones. If you siriusxm app, check our Marky Ramones punk rock blitzkrieg show.
To me all of the best punk is from the seventies and there’s so much of it that there’s no need to go beyond that most of the time (Misfits are a big exception). I don’t really care for hardcore (at least not yet).
