I don't listen to much punk but here's my top ten. Gogol Bordello I'm a huge fan of the blending of styles and the way these guys have mixed Eastern European style polka with Western punk is truly a fun experience. I can't help but tap my foot and try to keep up with Eugene Hutz's impressive spitfire, heavily accented singing. Stiff Little Fingers My dad was the one to get me into these guys by buying me a vinyl copy of Inflammable Material for my 17th birthday. The second the opening chords to "Suspect Device" came on it was really love at first listen. Darkest of the Hillside Thickets Sure I'm partly biased because my last boss was the guitarist for this band but holy shit are they fun to listen to and see live. Most of their music contains tongue-in-cheek homage to Horror legend H.P. Lovecraft, almost always performing a show on his birthday (August 20th). Streetlight Manifesto My knowledge of ska was pretty limited before I heard these guys, sure I knew of The Specials and Madness but I never really built up on that. Ska was just something I would listen to occasionally, but it wasn't until I was sent A Call To Arms by Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (Which later went on to become Streetlight Manifesto) that I started to take the genre seriously. Since then I've been slowly developing my tastes and finding new artists like Catch 22 and Ska P. Choking Victim Sure they broke up after a day of recording but what a day that must've been. No Gods, No Managers may be their only full length album but it's one of those albums that truly rocks on so many levels. The bass intro on the first track "500 Channels" is one of the catchiest and awesome introductions to a punk song. Of course the ever so catchy song "Crack Rock Steady" is always able to put me in a good mood. Leftover Crack Didn't see this one coming eh? Well if you're not informed, Leftover Crack consists of Stza and Ezra Crack from Choking Victim. Leftover Crack tend to be far more politically motivated, however they do also do a lot of songs about social issues. The song that really cemented them on my good side was their song "Nazi White Trash". D.O.A. If you're from Vancouver then you're required by law to like these guys so it's kind of out of my control. One of the grandfather hardcore punk bands and essentially the "hardcore punk Ambassadors" of Canada they have earned their place in history. Flogging Molly These guys are just fun to listen to, far more serious than their American counter-parts the Dropkick Murphys and have released more in the way of full albums. The Real McKenzies Yet another Vancouver based Celtic group, however rather than focusing on Irish heritage these guys are pure Scots, or at least Nova Scotian Scots. Almost always performing in their family tartans these guys are supposedly a blast to see (at least my mom seemed to enjoy herself when she saw them). ArnoCorps Newcomers to my music collection but my god are these guys just fun to listen to. They like to think of themselves as action adventure punk rock, which to me sounds like they've played too much D&D. |

^ You're right I was being lazy, and I'm still going to be lazy and just explain my top 5.
 5.Leftover Crack No one near as good as Choking Victim, but a lot more powerful. So powerful and passioonate at times they hav ebeen banned from playing most places in New York. I feel like they brought something new to the table, with crust punk, ska-core and some Oi! 4.Choking Victim with 500 channels having one of the catchiest chorus' of all timeChoking Victim comes in at number 4. I haven't met many who think Leftover Crack is better despite choking victim only having one album. 3.Black Flag What can I say, It's Black Flag, one of the earliest. Went through many line up changes and unlike other bands (who go through lots of line up changes) they continued to make great music and essentially that is what it comes down to. 2.Circle Jerks Circle Jerks are legends, also being one of the earliest punk bands and contributing so much to the scene going on in the early 80's. Keith Morris was even in Black Flag for a short time. 1. Operation Ivy Truly Punks with a purpose. They really changed me, especially how I look at life and such. After listening to Take Warning and really reading into the lyrics, it really made me think about how stupid it is that in society a consequence would be causing physical pain to someone. Don't get me wrong, I understand it is neccasary in some situations but I don't know what else to say to explain this. Hopefully you understand and don't look at me as some pacifest. Anyway, these guys probably had the most powerful lyrics ever and if you listen to there song "Vulnerability" you can here how passionate they were and that relentless guitar playing. ( I know I switched up the last two) (Edit **** I forgot Minor Threat)
