Ooo. Tough one. I had to base this on a scale of "If all these bands were playing on the same night (and all their members were still alive,) which would I go see?"

1. Ramones
2. Common Rider
3. Descendents / All
4. The Freeze
5. Screeching Weasel

Honorable mentions: NOFX, Dead Kennedys, Intro5pect, Dropkick Murphys, The Meatmen (I know, I know,) The Queers, and Rancid. And Ignite if you're including hardcore.

There we see the difference between you and me. No Brits in your list.

I can't argue with any of them really, except I can't stand Rancid ...

You might wanna give "Indestructable" a shot. Very good disc.

I guess I'm too old . . . I don't "get" punk. The Ramones are OK, and the Clash had their moments, but beyond that, nah. Not my cup of tea.

thank you for sharing ...

1. Ramones
2. The Rezillos
3. Black Flag
4. The Descendents
5. The Crucifucks

I would have considered early Blondie and early Sebadoh but a lot of people dont think of them as "punk" i guess.

I Can't Stand The Rezillos ... must be why the comp CD is on my IPod

[coburnsteeth.livejournal.com]

Are you stating the name of the album or do you really hate them?

[ericcoleman]

And I quote

"must be why the comp CD is on my IPod"

I love the Rezillos

50's sci-fi pulp pop punk.

They were my motivation when the Nick Atoms first started out.

That explains a lot

[ericcoleman]

I can certainly hear the influence ...

Sex Pistols
Ramones
Clash
Dead Kennedys

[ericcoleman]
