I love the sex pistols and the ramones both, but it pisse's me off when people judge all punk music based on these 2 bands alone, for example when people say all punk sounds the same, that punk bands are all unoriginal and rip off either the pistols or the ramones and that it requires no talent or skill at all, which is far from the truth, punk may be based on certain principles that almost every punk band shares, but it can still be a more deverse genre than people give it credit for, for some punk bands who have their own unique style and that sound nothing like any other punk band, i would recomend Television and The Minutemen, 2 of my favorite punk bands.

Hate to be off topic but why on earth would you put a thread about punk bands in the rock and metal forums when clearly two forums above there is a PUNK forum?

I prefer the Ramones.

I agree with Mr. boo boo on how punk can be a diverse genre. There can be so many sounds to punk, it just depends on what you like or listen to. And yeah...it's pretty stupid how all punk music is based on solely a few bands in which everyone's heard. I think if you're gonna say something bad (or anything at all) about 'punk' music, you better have done your research and be able to prove your point.

Anyone sell a cassette player?

i was watching a special on the public broadcast station (PBS) about the history of protest in music called Get Up Stand Up, and it brought up mc5 quite a bit when they got to that era and how there was a huge protest concert in Chicago that was supposed to be like woodstock with tons of bands there to perform supporting the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, but they were the only band with enough balls to actually show up and play. a pretty good quote i found regarding mc5 that i think fits with this discussion is "whether considered hippies or punk, they definetly had the essential elements of what would later become punk rock: noise, politics and attitude." - pete blackwell
