a top 100 punk bands list.
 

came across this list...here are my thoughts

Top 100 Punk Bands as voted by MusicianForums.com Punk Forum users - Rate Your Music

• Dead Kennedys should not be in the top 3 never mind 1. Clash? Sure.
• Buzzocks should be way higher – top 10/15
• Love the Bad Religion / Minor Threat spots.
• The fact Forgotten Rebels were on there was amazing, but should be
higher. (If they are on Teenage Head and Simply Saucer should be as well)
• Pistols at 12 would shock a few but I agree. Maybe a bit higher.
• LOVE Rancid so I might be bias – but good spot.
• No Distillers? Reason?
• Stiff Little Fingers I might put in the top 15.
• Stooges? Iggy? After Cirlcle Jerks? NOFX? I think Iggy did more for
punk than that.
• Never thought Television was punk. Any non punks who play at CBGB
seems to get this...ie: Blondie.
• Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards - Punk band formed by Rancid's
guitarist which is only slightly better then Rancid, which isn't saying much.
(OUCH! WTF? How can you not like rancid?)
• Thought Pennywise/Buzz****s got kicked in the nuts with those spots.

Also thought these bands should have been on:
Chelsea...they could have cracked the list from “War across the Nation” alone!
No Means No

Could be a lot worse. Don't know why Sonic Youth is on there. I'd a least pick a different album.

X is far too low.

Rise Against shouldn't be anywhere near anyone's top 50. But what can ya do.

AFI? Flogging Molly? Dropkick Murphys? Choking Victim? Leftover Crack? Streetlight Manifesto? A Global Threat? Anti Flag?

Broken Bones
The Ruts
The Gun Club
The Flesh Eaters
Dead Boys
Radio Birdman
The 4 Skins
The Stupids

More than adequate replacements and much more in the spirit of Punk than the bands mentioned here.

'cuz Rancid is a despicable parody of Punk that should never have existed because it ushered in a terrible new age of commercial Punk Rawk. Malcom McLaren is probably proud of them - and surely wants a piece of their revenue.

But I dunno the best answer..ask Jesse Michaels for that.

Also: Mohawks aren't punk.

I stopped reading when I saw The Damned at 46.

there is a ton wrong with the list, good for discussion though. DK at #1 kills me.

I love em. Period. Nothing to back it up, just do can't help it. I don't think I'm alone on that.
