Since we got into the punk debate in the other thread, I figured I'd start a new thread here.

First one's for RIJIMMY.:cheers:

YouTube - The Clash - Police on my Back (with lyrics) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq_HtgGOIfE)

Here's a local band I grew up listening to.

YouTube - Gang Green - "Alcohol" Taang! Records (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD3NzqKzfK4)

Another local band. Used to be the F.U.'s, then became the Straw Dogs.

YouTube - Straw Dogs - Young Fast Iranians (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1LHIjtox1w)

Can I post the Ramones here......or are they considered pre-post-punk-old wave-alternative-modern?

not my fav music but I did have a few I liked. Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables was a good album but I can't listen to it for long. Small doses.

ok there mr. web quoter wikipedia guy........

Since all of the members were teenagers (some of whom were still learning to play their instruments when they passed their auditions), the band's music was frequently raw and amateurish, but it neatly combined American heavy metal with the newly emerging sound of punk rock.

Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco circa 1975 was the starting point for the band. Lyricist Kari Krome, singer/guitarist Joan Jett, drummer Sandy West and bass player Micki Steele played their first gigs as a part of the burgeoning and tight knit L.A. punk community. The Runaways' sound was a hybrid of punk and hard rock, though the guitar chords were more in line with metal bands than the sparse sound associated with punk rock.

so yeah, they get my punk vote....

heres a whole website devoted to Women in Punk and guess what band is on their mr smarty pants?

Women In Punk:Features & Bands (http://www.punk77.co.uk/punkettes/features.htm)

I've always considered them Heavy Metal...almost pre-Hair Band metal...

and You Mr. Smuggy Pants started the Cut and Paste battle....not I

and if the Ramones were the 1st punk Band, and they released their 1st album after the Runaways formed...wouldn't that make the Runaways the 1st Punk Band? I mean they never saw each other perform since one was a west coast band and the other was an east coast band.

Just food for thought.....

Oh and here is a Punk Site that lists the most influential Punk Bands of all time....The Clash is number 2....2nd article down

One of the best punk bands of all time IMO.
