Some German favourites: Fehlfarben - 33 Tage in Ketten & Monarchie und Alltag Abwaerts - Wer Westen ist einsam & Amok Koma Geisterfahrer - Fest der vielen Sinne Xao Seffcheque - Sehr gut kommt sehr gut Later stuff with some punkish elements: Kolossale Jugend - Leopard 2 Blumfeld - L'etat e moi Ostzonensuppenwuerfelmachenkrebs - Fuer Zuhause Post punk Comsat Angels - Sleep No More & Waiting for a Miracle Killing Joke - Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions Public Image Ltd. - Compact Disc Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Wire - 154 Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Scream The Cure - Seventeen Seconds Prog Cardiacs - A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window This Heat - Made Available: John Peel Sessions I can't bring myself to list that Camberwell Now album. As much as I love it, the punk coefficient is too low. I'll open a thread on Sonic Youth.

Liked Bad Religion's stuff, whilst it's been a while since I listened to their music/albums. Ixnay on the Hombre by The Offspring is my favourite punk(ish) albüm. I'm not that much into punk music, to be honest. |

Personally, I always loved the bands that were punkish but were not part of the punk movement, rather than the original punkers from late 1976 and 1977. Thus, my favourite "punk-before-punk" band is The Hollywood Brats. They were a British glitter-rock and, if you like, "proto-punk" band active within the early 1970s. The Hollywood Brats found a small commercial victory at the time and parted ways in 1974, but they are respected as compelling on the afterward punk rock scene. The Hollywood Brats were championed by Keith Moon, who said they were "the greatest band you never heard of," and in 1973 they recorded the songs for an LP for NEMS Records. Beside the Crystals cover, all the songs were written by the band's singer Andrew Matheson and keyboardist Casino Steel (born Stein Groven in Norway). Be that as it may, the record company gave up on releasing the album at the last minute due to its explicit lyrics, and by the time it was in the long run issued in Norway by Mercury Records, titled "Grown Up Wrong," in 1975, the band had parted ways. "Then He Kissed Me" was released as a single by Cherry Red Records only in 1979, and the album was reissued as "Hollywood Brats" in the following year. A very interesting conversation with band frontman Andrew Matheson was held in a cosy-looking bookstore on the occasion of his autobiography book launch: |

Hey, I made this topic! Anyway, punk is fun, though it tends to get a bit boring at times. I enjoy Cardiacs, which I think would fit the progressive punk label. There is also Peter Hammill's solo work, such as Nadir's Big Chance and Fripp's Exposure. RIO bands Nacked City and Bordoms are borderline hardcore punk IMO.
My favorite punk album remains The Shape of Punk To Come because of its jazz inspiration. |

I think the words 'favourite' and 'punk' are probably oxymorons... I draw a blank ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

| My current no. 1 punk album, after a few re-evaluations and a couple new additions, is 0 + 2 = 1 by NoMeansNo. Not only is the jazziness of our drummer increased along with the variety and weirdness, but it finally manages to fully justify an eight minute song. Easy choice. |
