As'shole. And you are calling other people "newbs"? The only good thing about Blink 182 was the drummer, you should listen to real punk music mate, then you'd stop bull****ting.Quote:

Edit: Blink 182 weren't even that punk'y, more glamourised pop with guitars. Like an American version of Mcfly. How ****.
This thread is stereotypical. *puke*
I didnt know Blondie was considered punk, haha. The other are good, but Blondie isn't punk.

Ok, Blink maybe aren't as punk as all those 50 bands.. But they are punk.. And they're my favourite band

I dont think Greenday or blink 182 are the best but everyone is aloud to their opinions.I have heard most of the punk bands you have stated above. I do agree so of them are great like NoFX Bad religon and the clash but come on BLondie what the hell are you on about dude. I do myself listen to real punk music and punk rock and they are both just as good to me. Punk is older style of music but Punk rock first really kicked off when sweet children/Greenday got together as more and more kids then became interested in that style of punk. But then people who where into real punk music shutted them out of their community of punks.Quote:

Can I just say its Green Day not Greenday. It annoys me.Quote:

Clash. Man, nobody beats the Clash in punk, not even the Ramones. London Calling is often labelled as the best punk rock album in history and I completely agree. Joe Strummer (frontman) was possibly the best punk lyricist/songwriter of all time.
Mudhoney were great yeah. I wasn't too precise with the bottom of the list sorry.
Blah blah blah. I know that, people keep going on about it here...But when somebody calls somebody else here a "newb" and then goes on about Blink 182 being the god's of punk, I get a bit annoyed.Quote:

Their most famous album, Parallel Lines went straight to #1 in 1978 and: Parallel Lines was also ranked 94th in a 2005 survey held by British television's Channel 4 to determine the 100 greatest albums of all time.Yeah, I know Ch4 is usually bull. Blondie's debut in 1976 was just as punk was in it's beginning stages so they are often considered punk due to the new wave of similar artists during this era. They were (and still are) superb performers and can sure write a great song (and a few stinkers, I know).Quote:

I only use "swear words" 'cause I get annoyed by little kids thinking they know something about music: not to look big, I don't care what you or anyone thinks of me. You might know how to swear but you don't appear to be able to work the Caps lock function too well, maybe you should go back to basics or something. I dunno why you're "laughing your *** off" at your own remark, how sad.Quote:

Indeed. Just like rock.
Not really.. Simple Plan, Green Day, Foo Fighters And Offspring are still around..Quote:

Offspring i suppose are.
And as for Simple Plan and Greenday being punk, try the term pop-punk or pop for them.
'Pop' means popular.. Nothing else.. It's not a genre.. They're punk and Foos are!Quote:

Precisely!
Argument over.
And Foo Fighters arent punk! How the hell are they? I'd say there were rock/alternative but punk?
Green day aren't punk, they're just...****. They were good, not any more.
Foo's...punk?...No wonder you like Blink 182 mate. And pop is a genre fool.
So Victimized was right, punk is dead.
Yeah, we know what we're on about
Anyone else getting sick of the word "punk"?
I'm sick of it in the same sentence as simple plan.
ha well said
I wouldnt like to say punk is dead, but having a mere break, perhaps we shall see it revive when enough people want it to.
...or when some talent comes along ;).
Punk has been dead since the early 80's. It was revived a bit in the late 80's with bands that copied the Husker Du sound such as The Pixies. Mudhoney also helped bring it back copying the sound of the Stooges (can't remember if you had them on your list but you deffinately should've) and then Nirvana helped it break into mainstream. Sadly corporate America classed the sound as "grunge" which led to that wave. Then "punk" supposedly came back in 94' with Green Day. I'm not saying they weren't good. Any band that writes a song about masturbation like "Long View" is okay in my book... but eh, diluted punk. They helped start this "pop punk" thing.
Green Day have since taken the Clash route writing more serious songs so if you're gonna start hating them because of their current sound then you're going to have to start hating your precious Clash :P... sorry, just not a fan of them... yes a good punk band, just not my cup of tea.
And anything else after Green Day is just ********. Each new band just dillutes the sound down more until you get things like Good Charlotte or Blink 182. If you don't like the term "pop-punk"... then use this alternative... "safe-punk".
You can pretty much classify real punk into two groups... the Ramones fans, and the Sex Pistols fans. The Ramones would be more on the safe side as well.
*puts on Nevermind the ********, Here's the Sex Pistols*
People have their own opinons about what punk is due to their surrondings. AT my school, if you like simple plan; you're a goth. Peopl at my school are stupid. So it differs to your surrondings.
Because people no longer mix the stereotype with the music scene, which is stupid really.
oohhh another band.. Bow Wow Wow xD
I agree with what you're saying...apart from the Clash thing. I prefer Ramones to Clash but I admit Clash were the better artists. I wouldn't even compare Clash to Green Day, they're in completely different leagues.Quote:

When I said compare Green Day to Clash I meant Green Day putting away their childish antics and focusing on more serious political songs... ala the Clash.Quote:
