Fav. Punk Rock Rock Artist/Band.
Jun 6^th, 2008 at 2:00pm

No Green Day here, punk from '76/79, The Stooges were the original, along with Lou Reed, they had a thousand bands after that, The Viletones were the big band in Toronto '77, I bought the 1st Pistols album in '76, I already heard The Ramones, so the two bands were very different, I loved it!!! Patti Smith came out with Horses, but she was never a punk rocker, I put her on the list for the time all this happened, only one choice, no guests.

No contest for me

The greatest band to have emerged since the 60's 'golden era'. And they were a state of mind and an attitude every bit as much as they were a band. There's been no one to touch them ever since and sadly, the way rock music has disappeared up its own arse in recent years, there probably never will be.

Patti Smith
Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers
The Clash

Three totally different types of music that are all under the "punk" flag.

"Punk" is a tough term to pin down. You can't even confine it to a certain time period. The Velvets were playing in 1969. Then you have The Stooges and The Dolls who were doing something completely different in the early '70s. The kind of music that Patti Smith, Richard Hell, and Television were making in New York starting in 1974 bears little resemblance to what the Sex Pistols were doing in London a couple of years later. The Ramones were an anomaly that turned into an archetype. Everything that came after them was pretty much informed by their look if not their music. After 1978 you got mostly a lot of derivative crap. I've gotta agree with Gazza about the Clash though - they were the last rock and roll band that really were "a state of mind and an attitude as much as they were a band." I'd love for something to come along that's even half as exciting as any of these bands were.

Theyre on the list.

Kings of punk rock? The Pistols may be the most notorious of the bands from that era but they barely lasted 18 months. A great singles band, but little more.

Theyve kinda made a bit of a joke of their reputation by re-forming.

The pistols kept getting together for a re union, but they never brought out new music, just what was already in their recording!!! The clash kept recording new material, the sex pistols were dead!! The Stooges were the original, along with the MC5, (If you were brought up in Detroit) also The Original Alice Cooper band was a punk band, (before cooper got into the make-up) I think a lot of respect should be made to The Stooges (they were the original)

MC5, Dictators, Patti Smith, Misfits, Motorhead, The Stranglers, Wire...
All different bands, all differnet styles, all punk as fuck IMO! And I just named a few off the top of my head. Good thing we stop at 79, b/c by 1980 I could throw ten or twenty more without a really thinking.
And I think my opinion goes far, b/c I'm punk as fuck...

HOW DARE YOU post a "Top Ten Punk Bands of All Time" poll and not include the realist, rawest, most reckless and number one punk band of all time.

THE DEAD BOYS!

The Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones etc. etc. were nothing more than "show" bands compared to THE DEAD BOYS baby!

Pdog you are supposed to be this Punk Fanatic and you forgot them. You should be ashamed.

I would normally be ashamed, but I own just about everything Stiv has done and I own RFTT's stuff too... I am moving out of CA with my wife and kids, so I'm not really thinking clearly. 30 minutes ago I was packing up stuff, including my speakers and stereo stuff.

I suppose we will forgive you based in that you've got things going on now. BTW Stiv grew up just two streets over from here. Knew him when I was a small kid. He was a friend of my Dads.

Had to vote for The Velvet Underground. Velvet Underground And Nico pisses over anything released by the other artists on that list IMO.

I have to be honest, punk, as a genre, has never really grabbed me. I DO like The Clash, but they were so much more to them. Punk is more than music, its fashion and a way of life.
