For fucks sake, can people realize that punk isn't just one sound of music. It's not even just music. Actually music isn't even the biggest part of punk. Punk would live on, if people were less concerned about what is punk and what's not, and more concerned abbout fighting against this fucked up society.
huh… what… No "Big Take Over – Bad Brains" good number of band member in list would point to Bad Brains a seminal influence
Who in the world put this list together??? 😀
Suicidal Tendecies is crossover
Green Day are not a punk band and Will never be!
Surprised that the Stooges I wanna Be Your Dog did not make the list, it is the earliest Punk type song before punk was called punk.
watched 1st 3…………not punk …………pop at best
I think Bliyzkrieg bop is overrated. (dont get me wrong, i love The Ramones, its my favourite band, but there are better songs than blitzkrieg bop)
No stooges and no mc5. Get the fuck out of here watch mojo
If The Damned are not on the list it don't deserve looking anymore, not to mention the lurkers,the stranglers,stiff little fingers souixi & banchees, but they did get the No1 right! best ever single from the pistols, seen in camden as a retired punk,..ab fab , brilliant!
Misfits
Where was the Misfits' "Die Die My Darling", or The Replacements' "Bastards of Young"?
Nazi Punks Fuck off beats Anarchy in the UK
Sex pistols and Mr Sid vicious was king of punk. I am not a fan but Freddie mercury called him Simon ferocious which made me a great sense of humour
It's a pity that you guys don't listen to other than US and english bands. Check out 4 Promille, Ich werd mich ändern, for a punk anthem, or Slime's Alle gegen Alle / Polizei SA/SS, or Die Toten Hosen, Liebesspieler, or Bérurier Noir, Et Hop! or Apache. Then we will be talking again.
Really? Nothing from Offspring – Smash…..?
We love the work, check out our music if you can.
This song is so great. The girl lead singer became a heroin addict!!!! Detroit punk! https://youtu.be/ffR9qW4BTr8
Operation Ivy???
When Joy division and Buzzcocks?and why Green Day?
what about the saints?
How the f**k can you not include The Misfits and The Offspring in this list? Misfits formed their own subgenre with that horror theme, a.k.a. Horrorpunk. What about The Offspring? They've made way more, and better, known "punk anthems" than Green day and was that really the right song for this list? Minority would've been a better choice. And then there's way more known punk anthems by other bands that, apparently, did'nt fit your taste. If it were'nt for Pistols, Clash and Ramones this list would be totally despicable!
Sex pistols have like 2 good songs
America never understood punk and its bands proved it!!
I miss Teenage Kicks and I Wanna Be Your Dog
I think Blitzkreig Bop should have been 1 and Anarchy in the Uk 2
The 10 best-what a Joke!!! Penny Wise, Rancid, Greed day, give me a break! Other than The Ramones, Clash and The Sex Pistols-none of the rest deserve to be on this list period! They all came after the fact and are just pretenders and copycats-pathetic the lot of them. No Buzzcocks, Damned, Wire, Jam, Saints…
Where's the runaways… because they're females they can't be punk???
Some of these bands remind me of childhood. ☆♡
I thought ST was thrash metal?
Black Flag, Bad Religion, The Exploited, Misfits, The Bronx, Dead Kennedy's, Minor Threat, Descendents?
No, we better take Dropkick Murphys-shut in list.
