Punk Bands

erm... I am a punk at heart, really, and I have been looking around for some new bands to listen to and such. Kind of a broad question, but who do you like, punk wise?

on my list -

Descendents
The Briggs
Flogging Molly
Bad Religion
The Misfits
Pennywise
Goldfinger
Anti-Flag
Causualities
The Clash
Social Distortion
The Donnas
Dropkick Murphys

(and some others, who's names I can't remember...)

Flogging Molly makes me happy!

You call Arctic Monkeys punk ... how and why??

The Clash
The Jam
Dropkick Murphys are somewhat good from what my friend has let me listen to.

Otherwise, I like punk, but have never really explored it so much. The Clash are my favourite band of all time though.

Well, looking at Windows Media Player, I can see that I've only got one punk albut but it does rock! Try 'die Toten Hosen'!!

how the hell... I have no idea how Artic Monkeys appeared there, or why. Forgive the lapse.

off the top of my head i can just think of dead kennedys, sleater-kinney and thrice.

Is punk the same as emo? OK proably a stupid question, but me is stupid today...

Autopilot Off is Punk so The Explosion erm... MXPX and Billy Talent.

Hekategirl, punk is more of "I dont care how the f*ck I look or act" kind of music genre, basically rock with more...spunk.

Sex Pistols and Dead Kennedys are awesome.

...The Donna's are punk?...?...are they? (that's a real question...)
I like The Clash (how can you not?) and ^them...and they're the only two I've heard of off that list...though I've probably HEARD the music.

The Jam!

Punk is all i listen to so here's my personal recommendations

Bear vs Shark
ATI
Black Flag
Rise Against
Propagandhi
The Distillers

Punk is three chords played throughout the whole song
Emo is an offshoot of punk

Here are some good punkers:

The (International) Noise Conspiracy
Bouncing Souls
Masters of Reality
The Ramones (hello people, why have they NOT been mentioned yet?)
Rancid, one of my favourite punk bands of all TIME.

. . . and that's all I can think of right now.

P.S. Completely off topic, but it needs to be said: 'emo' is the most ridiculous label I have ever heard in my life. How can you define what is emo, really? I mean, come ON, that's like saying if you emote in any sort of way, which is HUMAN, btw, you are labeled as 'emo'. I just think the entire thing is ridiculous. But, what ever, if we didn't have labels, how could we ever distinguish ourselves from eachother? (Yes, that was sarcasm people.)

I can't stand the Ramones (waits for lynching).

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

LOL. Just kidding! We're all entitled to our musical opinions. You just seem to always contradict mine!
