There are punk that I do like:
Iggy Pop (with and without The Stooges)
MC5
Ones I don’t like:
mostly Sex Pistols and others like them. That no talent scene where it was more of posers and statements than anything. I don’t like them.
Ramones are hit and miss with me.
Iggy Pop isn’t really punk rock.
you obviously haven’t touched the stuff. you’re a virgin and you need to be fucked in the ass with a rusty pole.
Punk rock isnt music its garbage.

I do agree. So if Iggy Pop isn’t punk, then Punk Rock is garbage. I agree with Mr. Pink.
So they do stupid shit on stage, yell about nothing in their songs, wear mohawks and hate their parents. Boring. Revolutionaries, there not. I get the whole rebel thing, but they called it punk for the fact that they were just little fuckin’ brats that said some gross shit in their songs (if you call them songs) and did drugs.
To talk shit about successful bands like the Stones to try to rise the level of the punk bands is ludicrous.

You’ve obviously never heard a Ramones song or a Stooges song.

Yes I have heard a Ramones song(s) and they suck IMO. Whats so great about them? I like the Stooges but F.W. said it wasn't punk.
It's okay Bio for respecting me less, I still like you. :-*
FW is a shitheel, The Ramones were inspired by Iggy Pop and The Stooges, they established the loud and nasty!
The Ramones are crap? :o
That was like a kick in the balls.

Sorry about the Ramones stuff.
I know Iggy Pop is the Godfather of punk and I like him and the Stooges. But the line is drawn with that crap they call Sex Pistols.
i never liked the Pistols.
I do like The Clash, The Stranglers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Lissy Trullie.
I mostly listen to 30s Jazz and folk. I fucking hate rap and the whole “hip hop” culture" and modern country and pop.

Well that is good to know. Everyone here has big differences when it comes to music.
Here are SOME of the things I like to give an idea:
The Doors
Frank Sinatra
Alice In Chains
Johnny Cash
Rolling Stones
T.Rex
White Zombie
Black Sabbath
etc, etc.
And yes F.W. I like the Lou Reed's of Rock as well.
The Doors = awesome
Frank Sinatra = alright
Alice In Chains = awesome
Johnny Cash = alright
Rolling Stones = not bad
T.Rex = garbage
White Zombie = not bad
Black Sabbath = alright

How dare you say Marc Bolan and T.Rex is garbage. King of Glam. O0
Though you are saved by saying Alice in Chains is awesome, because they were (They are okay now with the new singer).
No way the new lead singer for Alice in Chains is crap. R.I.P Layne Staley .
[quote=“Mr.Pink”]No way the new lead singer for Alice in Chains is crap. R.I.P Layne Staley .[/quote]
I said they were just okay at best now. Layne Staley>>>>>Kurt Cobain, though I like Nirvana too.
Iggy and the Stooges were protopunk/garage rock. they only inspired punk rock. they were like The Sonics and other bands of that ilk that still played loud and loose.
and G, your views on punk rock are very, very ignorant and limited to a niche group of punk rock bands…
The Clash sang about political and social injustice and mixed rock themes with reggae themes in their music. bands like Alice in Chains and Nirvana wouldn’t exist without punk rock because of the bands it produced and the genres it created in its wake where it became post-punk and new wave and alternative rock. Minor Threat and Fugazi were both based on the straight edge movement: no drugs, no alcohol and living life good. they still made hardcore punk and some of it is more musically complex than an entire Doors a-side. if you want recommendations just ask because you can’t base your dislike for an entire couple of chapters in musical history on a couple of bands even if one of those bands started the whole thing and is the polar opposite of garbage like the Pistols, who were poster children for self-destruction.
And gross shit in songs?
Here’s an example of a Ramones song:
Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go
They’re ready to go now
They got their surfboards
And they’re going to the Discotheque Au Go Go
But she just couldn’t stay
She had to break away
Well New York City really has is all
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Sheena Is A Punk Rocker-
Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
Well she’s a Punk Punk, A Punk Rocker
Punk Punk A Punk Rocker-
Punk Punk A Punk Rocker
Punk Punk A Punk Rocker
i fail to find anything explicitly disgusting in this song.
they even do covers of 50s rocknroll and Beach Boys songs…

I was talking about the Pistols and bands that yell out “eat my shit” and nasty shit like that.
And yes, I wouldn’t mind for some recommendations. 8)
recommendations for G and i’m doing this with bands and their best albums:
the replacements:
they only did two true punk records, Sorry Ma Forgot to Take out the Trash and their EP Stink. after those they evolved and Westerberg’s songwriting matured and they came out with some really good stuff like Tim, Let It Be (their finest) and Pleased to Meet Me. their punk rock is great too, its really loud and loose and fun.
minor threat and fugazi:
both led by ian mckaye and both “hardcore” but both responsible for the “Straight Edge” movement. politically and socially minded. i’d listen to Fugazi’s The Arguement and go from there.
minutemen:
all you need to start is their double album: double nickels on a dime. because its musically one of the most diverses albums ever made.
the fall:
they have so many fucking albums and have been around for so fucking long. just go with perverted by language and see from there.
gang of four:
Entertainment!
Lou Reed:
Rock N Roll Animal is and always will be one of the most important live albums ever. you like glam and bolan? this is right up your alley. also Prakash John is an amazing bass player.
The Modern Lovers:
get their self-titled album.
Art Brut:
Bang Bang Rock N Roll is their best. these guys are recent and funny and a sort of punk/new wave revival. very good stuff.
Rancid:
they suck now, yes but And Out Come the Wolves is just an amazing album musically, shut out the lyrics if you want but tell me Olympia WA doesn’t get your head bobbing.
The Soft Boys:
Underwater Moonlight - this album is so fucking great. Hitchcock as a kind of Jim Morrison talk/sing poet thing going on except he’s got a nasaly english snarl a lot of the time and the music has fucking ATTITUDE. especially this: <LINK_TEXT text=“- YouTube … PL&index=2”>The Soft Boys - Insanely jealous - YouTube</LINK_TEXT>
Television Personalities:
And Don’t the Kids Just Love It
Violent Femmes:
these guys were discovered by Fleetwood Mac if you can believe it. they’re acoustic folk punk or whatever its called. they sing about sexual frustration. it will remind of your teenage years, no matter how far or close behind they are. get their self-titled album.
so there you go. give any one or all of these ones a shot and if you like some tell me, i might have some specific recommendations for you. i always like to talk about music more than movies anyway.
