Ok, so i was wondering if anyone knew of any good punk bands out there. These are the only ones i know.
The Ramones (hell yeah!)
The Sex Pistols
Black Flag
NoFx
Less Than Jake

there are tonnes of good punk bands out there! to name a few:

the distillers
anti flag
alexisonfire
bad religion
billy talent
dropkick murphys
misfits
the clash
greenday
goldfinger
rancid
mxpx

these are some of my favourite punk bands, but it is by no means an extensive list

not a big punk fan, but i know of and can tolerate:

the white stripes
the strokes

Cool. Yeah i just borrowed Punk-o-rama vol. 2 from my dad. It's real cool and it's got alot of good songs on it. I thought i heard somewhere that they came out with a new punk-o-rama CD but i might be mistaken. Has anyone heard about that?

:)D I (and Actually DRI) GG Allen Greenday(just kidding) Maybe old Clash

Okay for a few of you out there that think you know "PUNK" give a few of these bands a listen:

1 - The Business
2 - Roger Merit and The Disasters
3 - Black Flag
4 - The Queers
5 - Minor Threat
6 - The Casualties
7 - The Clash
8 - Tsunami Bomb
9 - Pistol Grip
10 - Sex Pistols
11 - The Ramones
12 - Pennywise
13 - Sick Of It All
14 - 88 Fingers Louie
15 - Iggy Pop

Here's 15 of about 350 "GOOD PUNK BANDS" if you want more to add to the list let me know!

 

i'm not sure if i'd call Tsunami Bomb "punk."  or at least "punk" by the original description that "punk" meant back forever ago.

they're still good, but i'm not sure punk is the right way to describe them

i'm curious to know what others you have listed, though!

ok first of i don't want to hate but the white stripes are not a good punk band they're not even punk i do agree with BrenLou but would like to add (in no specific order)

1. NoFx
2. Mojo Nixon
3. The Adicts
4. Good Riddance
5. The Exploited
6. The Misfits
7. Aus Rotten
8. The Unseen
9. Operation Ivy

no such thing

haha


HAVE 2 BE BAD           

I don't know too many punk bands that others might, but I'm into this music, so here's what I came up with:

In alphabetical order-
(+44) (pronounced Plus 44)
Alkaline Trio
Anti-Flag
Blink-182
Bodyjar
Boxcar Racer
Dead Kennedys (haven't heard them, just been told they're one of the earlier punk bands)
Eskimo Joe
Good Chorlotte (although I'm afraid they might be heading in a hip-hop direction...)
The Living End
The Offspring
Sum 41

Ok, the problem is that what people classify as mainstream punk tends to be pretty crap, however, most of these bands are on the borderline of being classified as punk or rock.
However, I find it difficult to say I am completely driven on one genre of music, I do like my punk music, a lot, but other stuff, softer, and heavier. Popular (not hip hop/rap/chick-sex-pop-dance) and marginal (small Australian bands). And for that matter I'm not completely set on one band, all the bands I like, I like for the fact that they have a unique enjoyable sound. What makes some bands better than others is consistency, bands that crank out good songs that don't get too old too quick, and don't sound too alike eachother.

For this reason, I don't really like it when people are like, yeah, I'm punk! And other's are like, no, you're a wannabe punk, conformity etc...

Punk is just a word...

up and coming punk band outta California , They do it old school style, with the nationwide tour in the van. I met em,.. and out of the  punk bands, that I have seen playing in bars other venues they seem to have it down. I seen em twice and both times they stole the show.


NEW TOM0RROW

nobody mentioned:

original US based punk: Dead Kennedies
and, grindcore UK: Extreme Noise Terror

I'm not a big fan of either but if you talk punk I guess these two bands I mentioned are pretty much (the)* shit.

Check out the Dead Boys if you can find any of their stuff.
