Branch out into some early thrash metal if you want to try something new in terms of music with heavy punk elements. Stuff like "Kill 'Em All" by Metallica.

As for more blatant old-school punk from the 70s and such, I couldn't say. My preferred music from that time period is the hard rock and the NWOBHM eruption.

On that note check out Iron Maiden's first two albums, s/t and Killers. its early metal, but with a definite punk feel.

MadassAlex · « **Reply #3 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 08:28 »

As long as you don't mind harmonised melodies and searing solos, then Iron Maiden's first two albums would indeed be appropriate for someone who likes punk music. Although, keep in mind that the punkishness is largely articulated through the vocals, so if you're into the simple power of punk riffage then Iron Maiden is not for you in any shape or form.

Threads like this make me cry. I'm just gonna say 'Dude, Funhouse' and then piss off.

Dude, Funhouse.

P.S. I second Minor Threat. I also add to that list Camper Van Beethoven, Black Flag, Minutemen and Sonic Youth.

I was going to say Fugazi, but then I thought Minor Threat would be a better suggestion. I also agree with just about everything else mentioned in here, especially Mission of Burma.

Joy Division? No Love Lost is one of my favourite songs. Wire's Pink Flag is also pretty awesome.

the Goat · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 14:43 »

Jerry's Kids, or at least the Is this My World? album. Jerry's Kidz is also pretty good. Fuck Boston, Braintree, MA was where it was at in the 80's. D.Y.S. and S.S.D. are shit compared to Jerry's Kids, Gang Green and Siege.

There's also the Dicks, The Big Boys, The Dead Kennedys, Deep Wound, Anti-Cimex, The Stalin, Bastard (from Japan and Bastards from Finland). There are others but I'm in an old-school hardcore mood right now.

Thrillho · « **Reply #14 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 15:09 »

I'm either seconding or newly mentioning Television, BTW. 'Marquee Moon,' the song, is essential for anyone who thinks they like anything.

Ernest · « **Reply #15 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 15:13 »

indie rock and punk rock are pretty much the same thing

Blake just needs to learn that and develop listener's patience

it will pay off, dude

imapiratearg · « **Reply #16 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 15:20 »

I was going to add Marquee Moon to those albums up there when I first did them, but I figured that wasn't "punk" enough. Oh well. It's a fuckin' righteous album.

Also, Ernest is totally right.

SleeperCylon · « **Reply #18 on:** 26 Jun 2008, 15:39 »

When most people say 'Indie' they mean 'Lo-fi that is derived from Joy Division and Pavement'. With the more expansive definition of 'Anything underground' it's way easier to get into indie. I didn't see the appeal of Joy Division and Pavement until later, and they're still not remotely my favorites.

Punk, I'd have to go with the early 80s stuff like X, Gang Of Four, Mission Of Burma, The Fall, etc.

I think it's nice to figure out what people like through what the discuss/upload/play/listen to. You know, it's a discussion board. It's no good if everyone justs list's their tastes then goes home.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #27 on:** 27 Jun 2008, 07:09 »

The Thermals! Fuck yeah!

A long, long time ago, in the Mediafire thread, someone posted an album entitled Disco, by a band called Red 40. Their sound is very similar to that of Jawbreaker, but I am pretty sure I listen to it more than I do Jawbreaker.

I am also going to throw down the Dillinger Four, and The Ergs!

Jimmy Fuzz · « **Reply #28 on:** 27 Jun 2008, 07:16 »

Heavy, technical, progressive, power, math, metal.

Basically metal with any of those put in front of it. And all sorts of other stuff that's been tantalisingly waved in front of me recently.

Prog/prog metal is where it's at for me.

Dream theater
Symphony X
The Mars Volta
Shadow Gallery
The Sound of Animals Fighting

are all bands I hold in highest regard.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #31 on:** 30 Jun 2008, 18:23 »

I'm not really much of a punk guy, more metal-oriented, when I listen to punk, I tend to listen to post-punk, bauhausish stuff. To add to Alex's suggestion of Kill 'em all, I add early Overkill, they started as a punk band called "The Lubricunts", they changed their name and played some of the first thrash metal, which still had quite a punkish feel. I honestly don't know why it was that punk and metal seem to have such a rivalry, they share a lot of influences. Then again, I mostly know thrash metal, which is where the line tends to blur the most.

Not really punk, but for loud, agressive guitar music you can't really do much better than The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.

When I think of "aggressive" guitar music, I just can't think of anything more aggressive than Jehu and Hot Snakes, what with Froberg's tortured scream over everything. The Jesus Lizard wouldn't have been a bad choice either, I guess. Or Big Black.

himynameisjulien · « **Reply #45 on:** 07 Jul 2008, 00:29 »

Does anyone know the song The Boy With the Arab Strap by Belle and Sebastian? I find it oddly calming, yet still warm and fun, and with a fun and distinguished beat. If someone can recommend more songs like that to me I would be eternally grateful.

lollipop lasers · « **Reply #48 on:** 07 Jul 2008, 07:23 »

My opinion of Belle and Sebastian's best albums differs from the above one, but more importantly, if you are looking for songs like The Boy with the Arab Strap, then the obvious place to start is the album The Boy with the Arab Strap. Also, I think Push Barman to Open Old Wounds has a lot of warm and fun songs like those you seek. If you want to listen to some other bands, maybe check out The Fairways, The School, Acid House Kings, Essex Green, and Camera Obscura.

Kai · « **Reply #49 on:** 07 Jul 2008, 11:10 »

Guys, the live album of If You're Feeling Sinister is the best B&S album. Obviously.
