49. The Damned, Genre (Punk Rock) London UK era, 70's/ 80's &

Billy Idol & Generation X (Punk Rock/New Wave) era, 70's/80's

One of the big three to come out of England in the 70's, the other two are a bit further up the list.

Jet boy, jet girl



New Rose



Love Song




Billy Idol & Generation X

Well just Billy Idol really, though dancing with myself was originally a Generation X song.


Dancing with myself



Rebel Yell




White Wedding

The Batlord

I can understand why they're not necessarily at the top of the list, but I just gotta say that "Neat Neat Neat" is quite possibly my favorite straight up punk rock song of all time. That song makes bad ass look like a pussy.

Note on Bad Brains

Allright ask and you shall receive, I had a feeling that I dropped the ball on this one,
so I will move them up the ladder, I'm not sure where yet, but they won't show up for a bit.

I'm still not sold on the first album, it's more their reggae that I'm interested in reviewing. There are two other reggae interludes on here, so I need to sit down and review it.

Finally, I don't like taking notes on race, but they are an afro punk band that throws their own cultural sound into the mix. I've already noted I'm not a fan of fusion, but I'll give em another go, though their is a much better band of brothers on this list.

Ok from here on out the list gets pretty competitive, so don't take to much offence when you see a legendary bands pass by. There all good at this point.

FRED HALE SR.

I don't take offense to any of the choices, I just occassionally disagree with assessments. Its been very enjoyable and a learning experience so kudos to a well crafted and thoughtful thread.

I'm not much into melodic hardcore but I did enjoy Death by Stereo when they opened for the Aquabats a few years back.

Hey, in the end it is your list. But controversy will arise, haha.

48. Death by Stereo ,Genre (Hardcore/Melodic hardcore) California USA era, Modern and

48. Lionheart, Genre (Hardcore/Metallic Hardcore) California USA era, modern

Two bands again, making this list has made me review some bands I haven't heard in a while. There has been much hype surrounding Lionheart that I had to give them another spin, so I thought I'd pair them up with another modern hardcore act for now. As for...

Death by Stereo, they've been kickin around for awhile, and I think they are one of the most underrated punk bands out there. If you ever get a chance to check them out live, do so, high energy band.

You shoulda stuck to your guns William! Although I would say they should have been higher, I always get the feeling I never "got" Bad Brains. Can't fault their influence or impact, I just never liked them that massively.

William_the_Bloody

Well this was always meant to be a democratic thread. It doesn't bother me to reassess a band if enough people make a clamour, however I will be less likely to do that now, only because every band left is pretty damn good.

As for Bad Brains, I will primarily be reviewing their latter day reggae/dub work. I know this is a hardcore thread, but I like to take into account a bands whole repertoire

47. D.R.I. ,Genre (Crossover thrash/Thrashcore) Texas USA era, 80's &

Reagan Youth Genre (Punk Rock/NYHC) New York USA, era 80's

My apologies on the delay, I got waylaid by powers beyond my control. Anyways...

Not many bands can claim to be the godfathers of a musical genre let alone two, but DRI did just that, spearheading thrashcore during their early career & then pioneering crossover thrash with the legendary album the Crossover.

I confess I've never really been a big DRI fan, but I defiantly respect what they did.

Tear it Down



No sense



Reagan Youth

A lot of punk rock from the 1980's was oppossed to Ronald Reagan's republican policies, so hence the mock name Reagan Youth.

I like DRI, but I have to admit Kurt Brecht is the real weak link for me. He's a terrible vocalist and has written some of the most embarrassingly bad lyrics I've ever heard in my life. Aside from that they're good though. I just wish they would have tossed his ass for someone better thirty years ago.
