let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

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:
