a top 100 punk bands list.

Misfits deserve to be exonerated of the enormous influence that they somehow cultivated over the years. Really, they're just a worthless punk act who sees more light on the backs of the branded masses than they've ever managed in record players.

I'd like to see far more diamonds-in-the-rough on the list than they decided to recognize. It would have been nice to see some acknowledgment for X-Ray Spex, the Slits, the Ruts, the Gories, etc...

Wha..? Not worthless to myself and thousands upon thousands of others who played Misfits albums religiously for years before the band had become part of mall culture.

Whoa - I just read back through this thread and I must have been kinda drunk when I wrote this..

Not that I am withdrawing any of my statements and I admit to harboring some hostility over the fact that Rancid got so big while the far better Operation Ivy is an often shit upon footnote. Jesse Michaels was such a good punk vocalist - he should have been the one to get paid. But obviously there are plenty of earnest Rancid fans and they're one of the least terrible punk bands that I dislike.

This is a list of "how many people list this band as their favorite" not a list of "most important punk bands" or "best punk bands."

And it shows.

Where are The Rhythm Pigs? Tupelo Chain Sex? Pop-o-pies?

Whatever, the Misfits in my opinion is a great punk band. But then again I am a fan of classic rock. Don't call them worthless, love em' hate em' you can't help but know that they have some amazing songs.

The Misfits were pretty good before Danzig left, even though he's a giant bag of diicks. Rancid shouldn't even be on that ****ing list, Rancid is awful:

Almost anything Tim Armstrong related is awful, aside from Operation Ivy. The whole GANGSTA PUNX thing is nauseating.
Lower Class Brats? Seriously? I hated Clockwork Punk, the Adicts at least were a bit listenable. AFI?! AFI is above X?! what the **** is this ****.

Y

Id like to try to understand your opinion but I cant get my head that far up my ****ing ass. And trust me nobody would EVER fake they were British...deny it maybe..ya...fake it? Never.

~~Sansa Stark~~ · 03-14-2010, 10:06 AM

Oh wow get personal much? Rancid SUCKS. They have maybe....three good songs? Tim Armstrong is a giant bag of douche who I'm sure in his own little mind thinks he's the next Joe Strummer. Also, I don't know if you know what one of these new confangled things called a joke is, but I think you might want to learn. And if you're trying to suggest that Tim Armstrong is British, then I suggest you get YOUR head out YOUR ass because everyone knows he was born in ****ing California.

Vancouver · 03-14-2010, 03:18 PM

lol..Never said he was British..read again.

Leave Joe Strummer out of this. Ok you think Rancid sucks. I never said they were the Clash..God forbid.

I love them..a lot. 3 good songs? And Out Come the Wolves has 10 itself. Ugh..nevermind.
