what are your favorite punk bands?
no, I ain't talkin about bands like Blink 182. Some of mine are Dropkick Murphys, Descendents, Black-Flag and Ramones. Any faves all?

love the Ramones, but the Ramones are as punk as i go.
can't really stand much punk outside of the ramones and mid-career Rancid (i.e. Life Won't Wait and ...And Out Come the Wolves - both of which were more punkska than punk..)

Gang of Four, hands down. One of my favorite bands of all time. Wire is also up there (sound familiar atlantamoi?). The Only Ones were great. Television and the Voidoids. Modern Lovers. Husker Du, Minutemen, Mission of Burma.
The Hives are great, but for my money the best contemporary punk band are the Hot Snakes. And Hickey, while they lasted, were great as well.

Heh heh, Yancey. You know, if there is anyone on here who has not heard Wire's "Pink Flag" you owe it to yourself to hear a very very cool CD. 1977, but in a diff league than some of the other British punk bands.

I much prefer Entertainment and even Solid Gold to Pink Flag. Pink Flag is great, but I just love the rhythm section of Gang of Four so much more.
"Solid Gold" from Gang of 4 is not as interesting to me. I like it, but miss the clanging guitars that they slowly weeded out.
Regardless, both of these are cool bands that still sound good to me.

I realize that the Ramones are highly regarded as "punk" but to me they're no more punk than Blink is. Lotsa pop in the Ramones -- yessirreebob.
