Up the punks
Evan:
--- Quote from: jcknbl ---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.

Truth.

For 80s American punk I mainly go with the SST school: Black Flag, The Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Husker Du, etc. The Circle Jerks also do the 80s SoCal hardcore thing but I've not extensively listened to them. If you're willing to give post-punk a chance Wire's Pink Flag is a must listen.
Oh, and if anyone tries to start a debate about what punk is in this thread I vote they get stabbed with a mace.
"The key to being a real punk; I'm talking about not caring about what anyone thinks or even what you think because it's all subordinate to what you gotta do."-Grady Runyan of Monoshock
Ravenbomb:
The Clash, Ramones, Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Rich Kids, Public Image, Generation X, some Dead Kennedys, and Glen Matlock-era Sex Pistols
I also recommend the "Punk: Attitude" documentary, it's really good
KharBevNor:
Man, has anyone else here actually heard New Model Army? They are brilliant. They skirt punk, post-punk, folk and goth. Very melodic. Kinda like The Levellers meets The Clash with a dash of Sisters of Mercy. Very good stuff, and also (this is how I found them) one of the major non-metal influences on Skyclad.
