Good Punk Bands (pop, album, The Ramones, sex pistols, Blondie)

True, there is quite a bit of noise goin on there. I just kinda thought of them as Punk, though. =/

Punk is a pretty hazy description. I could easily see Melt Banana fitting within "punk." They're noisy, but they're also individualistic in their style and have a furious sound.

Their early stuff is very much punk, whereas their last few albums have taken on a more noise rock feel. To be fair loads of noise rock bands can have a pretty fair claim to being punk as well, like Big Black.

May I recommend The Saints. The first three albums are all outstanding 70's Punk.
(I'm) Stranded from 1977.
Eternally Your from 1978.
Prehistoric Sounds from 1979.

These 3 albums are from the Bailey/Kuepper line up and all releases after these, when Kuepper split, morphed into basic pub Rock.

The Saints were ripping it up as early as 74 and heavily influenced by MC5, Pretty Thing and The Stooges.

Kuepper went on to form the at times magnificent Laughing Clowns who could be described as Jazz/Punk, for want of a better term, and is still releasing records to this day.

The original line up actually reformed and headlined a festival called Pig City in Brisbane Australia in 2007. Approximately 7,000 people attended including myself

.

And I would name some others, but I've only heard 1 or less songs by them. =/

Blondie is definitely punk! At least her earlier ****. Shes one of the original CBGB's bands for petes sake!

That british band on Fat Wreck?

They keep popping up in random Last.fm stations (similar to, your recommendations, music tagged as..., etc), but they don't strike me as that great, and I usually go for their style of punk.

There's a band called Snuff.

I wouldn't call them good though.
