Up the punks
KharBevNor:
So, I've been listening to a lot of punk and punk type stuff (new wave, psychobilly etc.) recently, and by that I mean bands like Cock Sparrer, New Model Army, The Anti-Nowhere League, Tenpole Tudor, The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Meteors, old John Otway, Dead Kennedies, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, X-Ray Spex, The Vandals, The Misfits etc. etc.
When I think punk, I mainly think classic British stuff, and some American hardcore. Modern/90's American punk tends to sound a bit of a sameness to me, though there are of course some artists I like, and some random tracks I rate quite highly: I'm a bit partial to older Anti-Flag stuff for example (Die For Your Government!) and of course American psychobilly and complete left-field stuff like Leftover Crack.
So, do you like punk? What punk do you like? What do you think punk is? What do you think punk means? What is the most quintessential punk song ever?
In my opinion, it is 'So What?' by the Anti-Nowhere League. If you haven't heard it, do so now.

Adolescents and Reagan Youth are a few of the greatest 80's punk bands.

Hahaha, yes! Cock Sparrer is awesome.
I got tickets for Warped Tour mainly because I heard Buzzcocks were playing a few dates. Unfortunately not the one I'm going to.
Anyway. 'Punk' bands that I like (not previously mentioned):
Bad Religion, Ramones, DK, Dropkick Murphys (how I got into Cock Sparrer), nofx, Lawrence Arms, Sham 69, Rancid, old Green Day, Rise Against, Millencolin, Refused.

Television, the Clash, the Talking Heads and the Dead Kennedys are all awesome. I haven't really heard as much as I should but a lot of hardcore stuff sounds exactly the same (uninteresting that is). I'll plead ignorance regarding the British scene post 1980 or so.
As a someone born and raised in DC I'd like to apoligize to everyone for straight-edge.

And Jesus Christ, I love the Clash. But they trancend many a genre.
