what're you smoking? They may not be the best band ever, but lint is the man, rancid was pretty good, and the idea that Rancid was worse for music than, say, nickelback or creed or britney spears is.... insane

9/30/2008 4:49:32 PM

PUNK IS DEAD@!!!!!!!!

9/30/2008 5:20:53 PM

I <3 Rancid

I think it might be because I played the "And out come the wolves..." CD nonstop for a couple years back in middle/high school

9/30/2008 5:58:56 PM

Why is there all this new-era punk in here?

I always liked the Buzzcocks myself...

9/30/2008 6:05:12 PM

London Calling or Nevermind the Bollocks....

9/30/2008 8:56:58 PM

i'm sure saps meant 'best drunk album of all time'

9/30/2008 8:58:33 PM

^^
worst

9/30/2008 9:55:13 PM

one of the best albums of all time period. Has punk and just about every other single genre of music on it: rock, gospel, dub, ragga, reggae, pop, etc.

9/30/2008 10:24:08 PM

i refuse to believe anyone has ever sat down and listened to sandinista in its entirety.

9/30/2008 11:41:41 PM

did it during a road trip

9/30/2008 11:42:17 PM

Minor Threat

Black Flag is up there too, dunno what album tho

9/30/2008 11:49:53 PM

^^^ what? several times

^^ yup, great for trips.


Most talented band ever? I mean, they could have picked probably 6 or 7 styles of music and been one of the best bands in that style if they wanted to

9/30/2008 11:57:06 PM

the Clash was so punk because they went punk against punk

10/1/2008 12:00:26 AM

that is true...




[Edited on October 1, 2008 at 12:03 AM. Reason : d]

10/1/2008 12:00:58 AM

^^^ a lot of bands could do that they just dont end up doing it. but yes the clash were good of course.

10/1/2008 12:07:58 AM

I dont know about a "lot"

and I wasnt talking just about physically being able to play the music, thats the easy part

10/1/2008 12:13:16 AM

personal honorable mentions:

propagandhi - how to clean everything
bad religion - no control
pennywise - full circle
rise against - revolutions per minute

10/1/2008 1:42:00 AM

^^ as far as AFI goes, would be best

as far as best punk album of all time, AFI wouldnt be my first choice

10/1/2008 2:04:36 AM

This thread isn't "punk as you can best describe it from being 22 years-old."

oh i know you were. but there are definitely a lot of bands who could do that. and once again im not taking away from them, i love the clash. a lot of people just happen to not record stuff in other genres.

10/1/2008 10:47:51 PM

i dont think its the best but rattus norvegicieus by the stranglers is pretty kickass

10/1/2008 11:26:17 PM

I have a problem picking a "best" out of all the punk albums I listen to. Like, I like the Undertones album a lot, I love the Buzzcocks, I'll listen to London Calling and Give Em Enough Rope every now and again, but I can't single out any one of those, or others I didn't listen due to pointlessness...

10/2/2008 2:08:21 AM

Specter really lost this thread.

10/2/2008 11:44:37 AM

yeah, he failed pretty hard

10/2/2008 12:24:39 PM

It depends on your definition of Punk I guess, because a lot of this looks like pop, hardcore, ska, etc to me.

Classics for me are...
Misfits - Legacy Of Brutality
Exploited - Punks Not Dead
Dead Milkmen - Big Lizzard
Dead Kennedys - In God We Trust
Adolescents - Balboa Fun Zone
DI - Horse Bites, Dog Cries
Circle Jerks - Group Sex
Social Distortion - S/T
Suicidal Tendencies - S/T
Ramones - Too Tough To Die
etc

10/2/2008 12:27:21 PM

I agree with the X album. They are fucking amazing.

CHECK THIS SHIT OUT IF YOU LIKE IT



best box set ever

10/2/2008 11:47:50 PM

that no thanks box set is perfect for anyone with a little bit of interest in late 70s-early 80s punk. it doesn't go much deeper than the big guns, but it doesn't really need to. tons of essential jams on there.

10/3/2008 1:45:08 AM

another vote for Misfits - Legacy Of Brutality

10/3/2008 9:36:32 AM

<3

Static Age and Legacy are so close to being the same album...but American Nightmare just clenches it. Plus I have been listening to Legacy for 22 years now...and it still moves me the same way....that is hard to do.

10/3/2008 10:05:15 AM

how has this not been mentioned??!!
