Best Punk Band Of All Time ?

[Ever666]

I wouldn't consider Dayglo punk eaither.


They do put on a good show though.

And man can they drink!

dayglos may not sound like what you think of as punk... but they were/are a punk band in every other sense. that said, i would not rank them amongst the greats of any genre. more of a novelty act if you ask me.

man this thread brings me back..

even not too long ago in this city there was a punk show every weekend just about (seylynn hall saturday nights <3) with tons of great local bands..

then everyone started making albums that sounded more "technical" and everyone coming to shows started looking like spock :(

Top 3 on my list. Pennywise, Bad Religon, Face to Face.

Has anyone heard of Bad Brains? I don't know too much about punk, but these guys have a few really good songs.

my fav song ever is dittohead-slayer.

punk or metal? :)

My opinion/take on that if you're using dittohead as example, would probably be thrash metal. Other than that, even with some of Slayer's covers, they definately put a thrash metal spin on it.

I'd say:

Sex Pistols as far as the most legendary,

as far as punk bands over past recent'ish years my favs would be

The Vandals or Pennywise...NOFX is definately up there as well with their White Trash, Two Heabs and a Bean. Its pretty damn tough for me to just choose one, there are so many different sounds of punk to conform to just picking one over the other; but that's just me.
