I like Punk, some of it anyway. Sex Pistols, Clash, Crass, Buzzcocks, The Vibratores etc......

BTW, this is not a prog poll.

I don't have anything against it. I haven't heard many punk bands, but I'd definitely be interested in hearing Dead Kennedys, The Stranglers, and some post-punk bands such as Joy Division etc. Just haven't got around to getting anything yet.

Personally I think there's nothing wrong with punk. Especially the more original punk, like the Dead Kennedys. It's not my favourite genre, but I really can enjoy it.
Of course some punk is dreadful (like whiny emo/poppunk), but in any musical genre there are bands I don't like.
So I think there's nothing wrong with punk.

There's some good punk, like The Clash, The Strangler, and The Jam. But a lot of it really awful. Pretty much all the stuff that gets released today is trash. I would rather eat sh*t than listen to Simple Plan, that's an easy one. The Stranglers actually did a live album with Bob Fripp, Peter Hammil, Ian Underwood, Steve Hilllage, and Nik Turner. And John Lydon was a fan of Peter Hammil, Can, Hawkwind and Captain Beefheart. He actually tried to join Can in the late seventies, and they covered Silver Machine on their reunion tour. The myth that punks in the 70's hated prog is not true. Punk did not kill prog, it was the music industry that wanted prog to become more commercial, thus causing it to loose its artistic values.

I know some cool punks.  I don't especially like the genre of music, I have about as much expertise on punk as punks do on progressive metal.

I only like some punk aspects when used in a rock format (Police, Talking Heads, some Clash). That's about it. Absolutely no new punk for me.

I have no problem with punk as it was in the 70's, apart from rubbish like the Ramones. UK punk was pretty good IMO. Bands like Souxsie & the Banshees were brilliant.

Fantastic! Very clever intelligent music, and surprisingly prog..

Ok, I'm talking bollox. The Buzzcocks were ok, but I never really liked the singers voice. I prefered the darker stuff like The Damned and Siouxsie. I thought the Clash had great moments too. They seemed to vary their song writing style a lot. The Stranglers (Punk Related??) were excellent.

I'm no Ramones expert, but what I've heard sounds too grounded in Rock 'n' Roll. To basic...

Exhibit A: 'Sheila is a Punk Rocker'..
     

Runs for cover....

I like Post-punk much more, but Punk is very rewarding too.

Some of the music from the punk era is great, some of it is dreadful. There doesn't seem to be an option for that.

I'm sorry but almost all (99.9%) of punk that I heard I didn't like and others I hate.
The only punk I can enjoy are bands that use influence from punk to mix with their own sound.


It's just another music genre...wich I don't like at all and played by angry cavemens.
