I voted disgusting... sure... some punk is probably good... some may even be very good... but theres SO MUCH bad stuff... and plus all the HORRIBLE little imps that punk spewed forth from its tainted womb... ie. pop punk, emo... and all that other... well... I cant really call it 'music'...

I just cant see the Clash as being punk... but if they are punk, then theyre the best damn punk band I know of.

Punk rock and the Internet are the biggest purveyors of bad bands to have ever existed. Reason being, typically, music comes from vision, fire, ambition, and punk rock + the WWW have told people they can still do music but without having any of these,.. rather, that they can pull it off with only so much as a guitar and a garage and nothing better to do. The so-called rebellion is a big mass conformist orgy of mediocrity and a mockery of music in all it's art forms - from the simplest to the most complex. Tom Petty is mostly three chords too, but Tom Petty has soul, purpose. The majority of punk bands and bands spawned from them do not. Furthermore, there's no "message", "energy", or "groove" that punk trips over that I can't find done better in other legitimate genres.



I dig the Clash.

I'm not really into punk bands such as the Sex Pistols or the Ramones but I do really like Post-Punk and some Proto-Punk bands.

I don't really like the Ramones, but the Misfits and the Clash are fantastic.

I like punk; I think cacophony can be awesome, but punk fans and their 'anti-prog' opinions tend to annoy me. I think prog and punk have more in common then meets the eye; obviously not music-wise but in sensibilities. Instead of complaining about prog because they don't like it I think we both should unite against those who make music for purely commercial reasons, or at least let the others live their lives.

I agree...I think now there aren't the same condition of 1977 and there are not the same music businness, so punk now doesn't exist..it can't exist! Green Day and the others are in my opinion po rock band, following a punk attitude, but nothing more...they would like to be punk but they aren't...

Sometimes very interesting.
My personal favours are

Sex Pistols (essential punk)
Exploited (I like'em and can't help it)
Misfits (horror punk, very original IMO, and also I'm a big fan of horror)
Weasels ripped my flesh

There are good punk groups.. BUT most of the punk groups are a bunch of angry kids who recently got their guitars (See Sex Pistols or The Hives on their first record for example) and wants desperatly to make music.

So i like Dead Kennedys (They are pretty good), and some post-punk more sophisticated bands. The only thing that i like in Punk is the  pure emotion (not all of them).

Have you heard of muzak, gangsta rap (not hip-hop), country, and pop divas?

Given that your sig includes Mike Patton, John Zorn and Can, I can only assume you're being ironic. If you're not, messrs Zorn, Patton and Czukay would definitely disagree with you.

punk rock... just another genre I guess


not my thing but I guess I can see the allure for the disenfranchised.... the hopeless.... those whose mommies and daddies didn't give them the time of day...

I don't mind the clash, I do really like Dead Kennedys tho, and I like some post-hardcore bands like Fugazi and Q and not U.

Just another genre, which I hated when the press was hyping it up as the thing that killed prog - which I now realise is a much too simple explanation; prog had a lot of other commercial and artistic pressures to worry about. Now, I think some punk and post-punk is okay, but it could never replace prog in my affections.

It amazes me that the rock critics seem to embrace punk and all it stands for, while at the same time bashing prog.  But, WE all know which bands actually have the talent and which are just hype.  LONG LIVE PROG
