Hoagy Posted March 21, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I like punk stuff, although I don't subscribe to the lifestyle much. Misfits (old and new) are my fave, I also like Damned, The Cramps, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Ramones, Devotchkas. I think that the whole 'anarchy/smash the state' thing is a little redundant nowadays, so I really don't listen to the bands with those messages. I do have to say that Sex Pistols are overrated, they were good at the whole shock tactics thing, but as far as musicianship goes, very average.

Add to that Peter and the Test Tube Babies and Angelic Upstarts and you have my faves. PIL was my least favourite though. Joe Strummer was my hero.

The Caspian Hare Posted March 21, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Real punk isn't played on the radio IMHO and definitely not M fracking TV. That's nothing but pop-rock. A couple of my favorties are Atreyu and Ragtime Revolutionaries(which has since changed its name to Deathwish Nine.) Ragtime provided a real treat for me because they did the theme song to one of my favorite cartoon shows, MEGAS XLR. Southern California seems to breed a lot of good punk bands. I like the Dropkick Murphys, too ... they might be considered punk I guess, some people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The used to practise in my great aunts attic. I like them, they are cool, and I have a soft spot for bands from my Home Town. I love the Sex Pistols and The Clash, The Kinks, The Misfits and old bands like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star_child Posted March 21, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I never thought of telling you. I've told nat enough times, though! It's not really something I tend to think about, I never even met the guy, but I do remember my great aunt telling me every time Stiff Little Finger is mentioned.

Hoagy Posted March 21, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2005 actually, now that you mention it, the drummer in my band, his dad was the original drummer for Twisted Sister (I love them too!). Unfortunately I don't have any family links to any bands, although I did live with a former member of Cradle of Filth for a few months. ...back when they were good...

star_child Posted March 21, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Cradle of Filth are quite big now, aren't they? I read in Kerrang! about the lead singer guy, but I'm not too familiar with them. I must look them up. Your links are better than mine, I never met this guy I'm talking about, lol!

Hoagy Posted March 21, 2005 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yeah, Filth are big now, and that's why they went all limp and poopy-like. *sighs* (I guess we better get back on topic ) *ahem* punk, yes. I have met The Misfits a few times, that was cool! I also met the Dickies back in the UK, those guys are nuts, but very friendly! Hoagy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star_child Posted March 21, 2005 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) The Pistols weren't even that good on stage, it was just their whole presence and attitude, it really was what the teenagers were waiting for, and that is what made them amazing, that and their kick ass lyrics.
