The "punk" appreciation thread

"Ow, we got the punk, give up the punk".

This is all about punk, punk related, and punky music and I include categories such as post-punk, art punk, Pronk, sophisto-punk, polka punk, experimental punk, can't play my instrument for sh*t punk, punk fusion, punktronica, baroque punk, chamber punk, funk-punk, Punk Flood, give that back you punk!, ethno and world punk, punkademic music and punkademia, surf punk, turf punk, Nerf punk, garage punk, parking lot punk, celtic punk, gypsy punk, folk punk, fu*k punk, dance punk, proto punk, J-punk, drunk as a punk, sunshine punk, rainyday punk, bubblegum punk, hardcore punk, softcore punk, porncore punk, steampunk, steamypunk, the punk that was so much better in my day, lounge punk, neo-punk, PnIO (Punk Not in Opposition), you’ve been punked, punky chicken and other poultry products, Punky Brewster, and of course football hooligans. If it's sincerely punk or punk related enough for you to mention then it's punk enough for this topic. And to any of the naysayers, in somewhat true punk fashion, “Punk you and that punk-ass horse you rode in on.”

I'll start with something from a band from my youth. I'm sure he wouldn't remember, but I will never forget the time I first met THE Joey Sh*thead (he is now a City Councillor).



And of the art punk variety, something from Television's Marquee Moon:



From This Heat:



From Pere Ubu:



And a lovely ditty from a little known band (at least in some remote areas):

One of my favourite bands of all time is Killing Joke, were all facets and changes iin the band is regarded, also Chameleon UK is also a favourite. Like also the slund and feel of the Ramones, the Clashh and Six Pistoles bu leans more to thr camoflaged fusion in the punk the Police offered. Im also fearly big grunge fan and early grunge ala Soundgarden was post-punk who sounded more like Killing Joke and Bauhaus than Sabbath /Zeppelin.

So now iblistening to amazing Raven by the Stranglers. we're running through all their albums this evening...  we are both huge fans of the group..  but yeah.. the Raven absolutely f**king rules... They were always the proggiest of the first-wave UK punk bands. Though really I think of them more as The Doors of punk.

Hi,

Right before you get into full-on post-hardcore, you have some bands that were reaching towards post-hardcore that are still in the "undeniably punk" camp:
