Sorry, but its The Clash… and then the rest.
Wtf. The clash should be number one. And dead Kennedys should be much higher up
no hüsker dü? makes no sense at all
If anyone is interested in a fast skate punk band (or melodic punk) go check out a check out a band called Sub Grunk. They have also released a sick album by the name of "How Not To Queue"
my favorite band its the ramones
Where are The Exploited?!
There's a guy at the Savers in Phoenix (Bell & 37 Av. I think) that looks JUST LIKE Iggy.
I'm so happy I've had the pleasure of seeing nearly all of these bands.
My favorite punk band is bad religion
The Clash is better than every band on here suck my dick
"I used to listen to The Clash now they suck like all the trash, The Ramones used to be a hit, now they're just a pile of shit. I don't wanna listen to it, you don't wanna dance to it, we don't wanna hear it, Rock and Roll Bullshit!"
Not a bad list at all. I was expecting to get all "harder core than thou" and sneer at this list, but it's really good, though I am not a big fan of The clash and would probably rather see The Exploited, The Adverts, Charged GBH, or a dozen other bands there in their place.
no minor threat fuck that and BR's 80-85 best punk album ever, should of been higher, also how about Ignite
how the fuxk do you put misfits at 10
Operation Ivy
DAMNED?????????
Ramones <3
Misfits should be in the top 5 dude!
Dove cazzo avete lasciato i Crass, gli Exploited, i Damned, gli Skids… e i SeX PIsTOls al 2* posto ???
where is devo?
That comment about Dead Kennedy's "Left leaning lyrics" is bullshit. California Uber Alles is about Democrat Jerry Brown imposing a Facist police state, and the band has been documented on stage cussing out Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, also Democrats. Dead Kennedys hate ALL politicians. Get your facts straight.
Stooges should be number 1, simply for the reason that there would be no punk rock in America if it weren't for the Stooges. And where are Offspring, Rancid and Guttermouth?
Minor threat
How the fuck arent greenday on here… not impressed watchmojo, shit list tbh
number 1 GG Allin
2 Patti Smith (Protopunk)
3 Velvet Underground (Protopunk)
4 Joy Division (Postpunk)
5 The Clash (Reggae/punk)
6 Gumbles (Oi!)
7 Dead Kennedies
8 The Addicts
9 Misfits
10 Cockney Rejects (Oi!)
Dishonorable mentions: Exploited; Rancid (ska/punk); GBH; Reagan Youth; Bad Brains; Oxblood (Oi!); The Templars (Oi!); Krawallbrüder (Oi!); Lowerclass Brats; Fishbone (Skapunk)
Is no one going to talk about how the ramones are #1. Because it seems like everyone wants to talk about bands no one except them has ever heard of. Sex Pistols should have been #1 for obvious reasons
RISE AGAINST ?!
The sex pistols are way better than ramones
Punk Rock and hardcore are two different things. Ramones are punk rock. Minor Threat is hardcore. Husker Du and The Replacements started as hardcore and became punk rock. The Stooges and New York Dolls are proto-punk.
These are different categories
Video about punks without mention of GG Allin? Nice
Ramones will forever be my fav
Is it just me or did they chose one of the least hardcore songs by black flag. TV Party, seriously?
Can somebody recommend me a bands like Hed PE, please ?
