[Csargo]

what are some really good punk bands that people like in here just want to find some new punk bands to listen to

[Hurin_Rules]

I'm not sure about the new ones, but some I like are:

Misfits
Ramones
Sex Pistols
GBH
Bad Religion
Rancid
Dead Kennedys
Bunch of F****** Goofs (Sorry mods, there's not much other way to give that band's name).
Dayglo Abortions

[Alexanderofmacedon]

In my mind the only good one in that group is the Dead Kennedys

To each his own...

I guess I forgot to mention I really don't like punk...I'm more of a new metal guy...

Godsmack all the way!

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

Oxymoron.

Wonderful band.

get their "Best Before 2000" compilation.

They have three other albums and a mini album.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

I'm also partial to :
Blitz(get "voice of a generation"),
One Way System (get all of it),
Cocksparrer (get "shock troops")

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

also...
if you want the Misfits then you should get their boxed set because it contains remastered versions of almost everything they recorded.

If you have ever listened to the original recordings you will understand why the remastered versions are so wonderful.

I don't listen to much punk, but some Misfits recordings are alright (they have a classic heavy metal feel to them). I also liked the Bad Brains and the Beastie Boys' early stuff (no, really, it's old-school hardcore). Motörhead also deserves a mention.

No mention of Public Image, Ltd. (PiL) in a punk thread? or are they no longer considered punk?

This is what you want, this is what you get...

Don't really know of any of the newer punk bands (given the state of the music and politics today, we should be in for another punk-like indie invasion here soon). I still listen to the old-school stuff, Misfits, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, etc., along with the later derivations like Prong, Ministry, and some of the industrial metal bands.

Listening to old school punk today, you realize how bad it was, but in a good way. Production was terrible, the bands could barely play their instruments, but the music and feeling was real. Not sterile like most of today's music. And, yes, I had to walk uphill, both ways, in three feet of snow, with no jacket (but I did have steel-toed boots) to see punk bands in my day!
