Good Punk Bands
 

I am fairly new to the punk genre, and honestly do not know many good bands. I was wondering what bands would be a good listen. Any advice would be very helpful...thanks.

The Basics:

Big Black
Black Flag
Crass
Dead Kennedys
Discharge
Faith (get the split with Void)
Gang of Four
Richard Hell & the Voidoids
Hüsker Dü
Meat Puppets
Minor Threat
Misfits
The Modern Lovers
Negative Approach
New York Dolls
Ramones
The Replacements
Repulsion
S.O.A.
The Teen Idles
Void (get the split with Faith)
Wesley Willis
Wipers
Wire

Classic Punk:The Must Haves

Sex Pistols- Nevermind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols
Ramones- Rocket to Russia
The Clash- The Clash
The Damned- Damned Damned Damned
Buzzcocks- Singles Going Steady

Hardcore Punk:The Must Haves

Black Flag- Damaged
Bad Brains- Bad Brains
Minor Threat- First 2 7"s
Dead Kennedys- Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
Circle Jerks- Group Sex

Post Punk:The Must Haves

Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures
Television- Marquee Moon
Gang of Four- Entertainment!
Public Image Ltd.- Metal Box
Echo & The Bunnymen- Crocodiles

And the one everybody forgets to add to lists like this:

POISON IDEA "Feel The Darkness"

I can't stress this enough. This is a timeless album. Angry teenagers turned to all this pop/punk or hardcore punk when this album intelligently and furiously talks about injustices in society. This album introduced me to 'classic' rock.

I don't turn to pop-punk when I'm angry, I turn to it when I'm in a good mood. :)

Dont forget GBH, a true punk band as well.

I like punk styled music played by people with socially acceptable hair cuts

I recommend

Fugazi
Leatherface
Dag Nasty
Husker Du
Paint It Black
Hot Water Music

I don't think there are many UK punk fans here. I like GBH as well as Discharge, UK Subs, Explioted, Conflict.

**waiting for the anti-exploted flames** :shycouch:

Some good pop-punk to check out is:

Screeching Weasel
Descendents
The Buzzcocks
The Queers

Well, classic pop-punk.

If you want some new skate-inspired pop-punk, check out Lagwagon and Millencolin. Great bands.
