Yeah I love punk. Some of these bands crawl into other genres too.

oh, my favorte...i love the Stoodges, the sex pistol, black flag, the misfits, the clash, the ramones...

Can't stand most 70's punk, save for a few bands The Clash, Sham 69, Buzz****s. 80's is where its at.

a few not mentioned that are worth checking out are the Vibrators and Stiff Little Fingers

I have to disagree there.

Definately Stiff Little Fingers.

Yes - I have rediscovered punk since I was listening to 60's & 70's rock & metal at the time. Not until I was in high school did I start becoming interested in punk / underground - by then it was too late.

I'm interested in various eras -

late 70's UK punk including Stiff Little Fingers, Buzz****s, Wire & the obvious - Clash.

early 80's US punk including Mission of Burma, Minutemen, Black Flag (pre-My War), & Minor Threat. Not to mention other SST bands like Husker Du & Meat Puppets as well as those influenced by SST like Replacements, Sonic Youth & Dinosaur Jr.

What was great about the early 80's US punk scene, was that it incorporated non-punk bands like Sonic Youth & Dinosaur Jr. as well as bands that evolved away from their punk beginnings as Meat Puppets, Replacements & Husker Du did. Punk & underground were synonymous, most of the well known 80's college rock bands had either opened or performed with punk bands in the early 80's.

I saw The Circle Jerks and Husker Du. The latter was intense and almost thrash-like. They probably influenced Megadeth and Metallica.

Oh, another band I like is Suicidal Tendencies. Ever get into them?
