Punk rock is the best kind of rock

So I've been on a bit of a punk binge as of late. Been listening to a lot of Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, SS Decontrol, and Poison Idea.

I'm really starting to appreciate the impact that punk/hardcore had on the modern music scene, specifically the music that I listen to most of the time.

And listening to a lot of more modern Hardcore it's really cool to see how the music evolved. I'm actually going to a hardcore show tonight and seeing Have Heart, Blacklisted, and Ceremony. I'm pretty excited because Have Heart is on of my all time favorite bands.

Have Heart - Armed With A Mind

Also, Golgol Bordello is awesome

    I kind of like Bad Brains. They actually released a new CD last year that was pretty cool.

    My friend told me a story where some people went to see them and it was just the dude doing an acoustic set, and when he was asked "Hey, where is the band!? I paid to see all of you!" he replied "What did you expect! We're Gypsies!"

    There is a very noticable lack of Misfits on that list of punk/hardcore you have been listening to

    You should correct that post-haste

    So the basics of most punk is to play as loud and fast as possible so no one can tell how bad you suck right?

    I saw NOFX a week ago with Dillinger Four, the Flatliners, and Teenage Bottlerocket. I fractured my ribs in the pit and still think it was an awesome night.

    Don't pretend to believe punk rock required any amount of skill

    there's a reason for the "three chords of punk" which anyone can learn and proceed to make music

    case in point: The Misfits

    Danzig has a good voice but they are hardly a skilled band

    BAD RELIGION YOU HEATHENS.

    I listened to their entire discography this week. Even the weird second album
    Oh you didn't know about that? Yeah, their second album wasn't Suffer. It was called Into The Unknown and was keyboard-driven prog rock. Jesus fuck it's bizarre.
    I think my favorites are Generator, Stranger Than Fiction, and Against The Grain.

    Yeah but you went to see NOFX so what's your point?
    I wouldn't go see NOFX if they were playing with the Queers, Screeching Weasel with the really good line-up, the one with Vapid and Panic, Teenage Bottlerocket, and the fucking Ergs!, and I got a blowjob for sitting through their set.
    Fat Mike instills in me a sort of rage because not only is his band bad, he seems to think he's an expert.
    No Michael. The Lillingtons' Death by Television is not the best pop-punk album of all time.

    Anyway
    I see a disturbing lack of Ramones and Clash. Gotta rectify that in two and a half minutes.
    Also going to get some Teenage Bottlerocket and Steinways and Ergs! allupins
    On an unrelated note, I'm watching the Bad Religion DVD that was shot at the Palladium. It's kinda weird to watch. It's like watching your dad in a punk band.

    My least favorite punk band is the Dropkick Murphys because the lead singer's voice sounds like somebody sawing through wood.

    That is to say, awful.

    Bouncing Souls - True Believers

    The Ergs! - Very Pretty Song...(acoustic)
    This is kinda cool. Basically, they were playing the Insubordination Fest, and there was a power outage. So instead of just not playing, they went in the parking lot and did an acoustic set

    Teenage BottleRocket - Bloodbath at Burger King
    Sound isn't wonderful, but it's decent.

    Teenage BottleRocket - In The Basement

    The Steinways - Dear Girl

    The Steinways - Here She Comes (MTX cover)
    These two were filmed in Vapid and Jughead's basement. Mikey Erg is in the crowd, as is the chick from the Unlovables.

    Mr T Experience - And I Will Be With You

    The Queers - Fuck The World

    You're either an idiot and don't know what prog rock is, or you're repeating something you read somewhere else. Based on the sum of your posts in this thread, I really can't decide which it is.

    More the second than the first but the fact remains that it was all keyboards and no punk and it was fucking shit.
    Also, Dropkick Murphys got better after McColgan quit to join the fire department, his voice is painful.

    Also shut the hell up FAQ I don't have any Ramones or Clash in my favorites on YouTube.
    Well, a couple songs from the last Ramones concert but the last concert wasn't that great. I guess I could post this though

    My theory is that there is a secret connection between Texas and Ireland. Hear me out.

    When it comes to the USA, Texas is the one state populated by people who never shut up about how fucking great Texas is. Their entire lives revolve around how fucking fantastic Texas supposedly is. Every action they take is governed by secret Texas code, which results in them getting tattoos that say LONE STAR STATE right above their tribal armband.

    How does Ireland tie into this? Well duh, Irish people are exactly like Texans! They never shut up about how fucking excellent Ireland is. They get tattoos of clovers with the colors of their flag, they never shut up about Notre Dame, they never shut the fuck up about St. Patrick's Day.

    Basically I hate people who can't shut up about Texas or Ireland.
