Punk ain't dead.... It just smells funny..
I don't really have any top bands...I like too many..
as for yours..
killing joke..I like pretty much everything..
The men in black..the first 3 albums my favourites.. plus the live xcert
Clash . early singles first two albums..I think London calling is way overrated..and as for Sandinista... fucking hell ..
UK subs...some classic albums and singles..some fucking poor ones to..but Charlie Harper is a fucking legend..and such a down to earth bloke..
Anti nowhere league .. classic first album and early singles..now they're a fucking embarrassment.. |

Listening to Jam early stuff, 77-78 very similar to clash early stuff, Wellers voice suited punk |

I would highly recommend a visit to YouTube to go down the punk rabbit hole.
Started one the other week with Snuff Rock...by Snuff Rock. Still know all the words to "Kill" which is a classic of 70s teen angst. |

I'm gonna be a punk anorak Here..one with chains and safety pins on though.
But snuff rock ep is actually by Alberto y Los trios paranoias...they were actually a parody of punk.. it's totally taking the piss..but it's a classic record..all the same |

Right on both counts. I couldn't be arsed to try and spell the name.
As for the parody, I never saw them live but had the EP and as a youth it felt real enough to me.
Kill in particular was properly Punk to me. Gobbing on Life was definitely more of a parody.
Seriously considering buying it again. |

Minor threat, Gorrila biscuits, sick of ot all - shout out to our American cousins but also love The Clash and Buzzcocks.
Anyone remember the all dayers at the Georgel Robey in Finsbury Park. Think I saw discharge and the exploited there and Splodgenessabounds.
The New cross inn in London does good punk events.

Yeah, I did not expect to see Earth Crisis mentioned ha!
Very much grew up in the late 90s/2000s UK punk scene, especially the more HC stuff.
As times gone on, I'd say some of my favourite punk bands are,
The Stooges
The Damned
Wipers
Fugazi
Tranzmitors |

They're not for everyone. I've gone years without hearing them then I'm like "ooh, I quite like them"

. Agree with that and then you hear their early stuff and get such a buzz.. My love of them is more from seeing them live and the energy..
Talking of which..
Spizz
Spizz oil
Spizzenergi anyone? |

The one and only band I never saw but wish I did. I was just too young to catch them.
I did get to see Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros but it really wasn’t the same. |

Adding my love to all the Clash fans on here - including Sandinista, which one poster has maligned.
I also saw Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros and it was such an amazing gig (at the now defunct TJs in Newport). Just a month before Joe Strummer died. I remember they started with the Clash’s “Police on My Back” - the crowd went nuts with that guitar/siren intro, spilled into the stage (only about a foot high) and knocked everything over. A good natured announcement that there’d be a 10 minute break and they re-opened with something a little more down key!
Also way to add to the love shown Stiff Little Fingers and Dead Kennedys on here. |

The Jam
Joy Division
Ian Dury &The Blockheads
The Only Ones
Siouxie and the Banshees
Gang of Four
Happy memories.

"Dead Thatchers a true punk band.
the name is pathetic. trying too hard."
Why you would say that I've no idea. These guys struggle to have money for instruments or recording time and what little profit there is it goes to foodbanks in our area. Why you would write that we've no idea. Sad reality sad |

The Clash and Generstion X were always on in our house growing up. My first ever record was King Rocker on red 7" vinyl. Wish I'd of been born 10 years earlier so I could of been a teenager when the Pistols were in their prime. |

I guess so ..I mean the jam were mods..Ian dury was pub rock..but it all came under the banner punk.. nowadays magazine would probably come under the header post punk I guess.. |
