The Clash is the only punk band I can tolerate at all.

Check out some of these Citizen Fish lyrics;

Stopping the disease before it got critical
Marked out as 'dangerous' (words are so ridiculous)
'infordiagnosis' - a government process
Bits of legality thought up by the ministry
Making it necessity to cancel your activity
Telling judge and family about 'national security'
Make it sound worse than it ever was or could have been

Scarily relevant nearly 20 years on...

 

I just thought of 2 more greats that are missing; Misfits and Fear.

If you consider Velvet Underground punk (I think they're more experimental than punk) then there you go. I only like "All Tomorrow's Parties" and a few more from "Velvent Underground and Nico", nothing else.

Punk makes me sick.

My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Velvet Underground from the list if they are punk at all.

The more tolerable bands from the list+Stranglers +Clash move beyond punk.

and there is much more to it than that...

You know, Miracle, there are also some prog fans who don't like punk.



Actually, these texts are VERY funny...

funny, yeah. And sad so much ignorance in one article

Not really funny, just ignorant and vulgar.

What no Clash on this list?

Well since my fave are not there I hesitated between the Ramones (lotsa fun) Stooges (raw energy ) , but went with Talking Heads (athough not really punk, either as are the Stranglers).

Some mentioned the Stranglers; but the Stranglers are more prog than punk (indeed I wouldn't mind the addition of the Stranglers to the archives at all. They used real polyphony in some of their songs, a trait even most accepted prog-bands don't master. Their album "Black and White" definitely is a prog album).
As for my favourite punk band (and they are progressive punk, in a way): Inner City Unit. I highly recommend "Pass Out!", "Punkadelic" and "The President Tapes".
Oh, and I would hardly call Joy Division a punk band. Neither are the Velvet Underground or the Talking Heads.

i guess i just never really "got" punk. maybe these are just misconceptions, but it always seemed to me to be a genre more concerned about rebellion and political angst than about music. personally i never found enough musical intricacy/originality to interest me. i would say i dont like punk for the same reason i dont like grunge. it's a form of music whose central focus is not the music.

honestly i'm not trying to put down punk at all, but does anybody else have this conception of punk or am i just off base?

I voted for Joy Division, allthough I never even considered that punk. Where are the Stranglers? I bought the "No more Herous" album when it came out in 1977 and I never regretted that, I still think it's an excellent album (and even give it an occasional spin sometimes), and in those days they were certainly considered punk.
