Well, you can do it yourself, if you want.

Hard to say. I'm listening to a lot of Metalucifer and Negligent Collateral Collapse, but next week, it may be something entirely (as far as metal goes) different.

[mercian billman]

Better Than Ezra

Alternative Rock

[Samurai Waki]

Metallica hands down...especially pre-Black Album era, though I still enjoy Most of their stuff up to St. Anger (which I REALLY didn't like at all).

[IrishMike]

Tie between Led Zeppelin and Rage Against the Machine. I have to loves, I am a torn man.

But I also agree with Wakizashi about St Anger, it just isnt good!

[Ronin]

Queens of the stone age

[Reenk Roink]

Pearl Jam (especially the early stuff)

They play Music...

[InsaneApache]

The Stooges.

Along with some VU white light they started a revolution in rock which still endures today.

[Viking]

Rammstein - Industrial metal, or just industrial.

[JimBob]

1)The Drive-By Truckers-Southern Rock
2)Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers-Alt-Country Rock

The Ben Folds Five-(Punk Rock for Pussies!), Albert King(Blues), Stevie Ray Vaughn(Blues), Yes(Prog), Dream Theater(Prog), Rush(Prog), U.K. Subs(Punk), and Screaching Weasel(Punk) are numbers 4 and 5.

[JAG]

Iron Maiden.

Heavy ******* metal.

Stars, stars, and only the stars please - Beirut

[Craterus]

The Ramones - They INVENTED punk rock.

At the moment, I really like Embrace too.

[Geoffrey S]

Close run between Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mogwai; since I've seen Mogwai live in a fantastic gig it'd edge towards them.

May I invite my fellow poster to peruse my post.

Ramones are good. However they didn't 'invent' Punk Rock. I believe that accolade belongs in equal measure to messrs. Lou Reed and Jimmy James Osterberg.

Embrace are ok, if only for the fact they come from my home town. (some of the songs aint bad either)

I would say that you are mistaken in your belief, sir. Although the above gentlemen had an indisputable influence upon what would be be punk rock, they are certainly not its progenitors.

SFTS!

You stole my favorite band!

[JimBob]

I'm with Gore, The Rammones get credit for inventing Punk. Lou Reed and Jimmy James Osterberg had an impact, then again so did The Crickets

[Reverend Joe]

Currently I have two favorites, although I expect that to go up to three as soon as I can get ahold of some Floyd LP's:

Creedence Clearwater Revival- they play the best damn 50's and 60's rock and roll you'll ever hear, and some of the best blues.

Jimi Hendrix (more specifically, everything except his Band of Gypsies work): Jimi played... well, Jimi played Jimi. He was really sort of a genre of his own; even though his roots were easily fixed in Blues, noone ever played, or could play quite like him. Part of this was the fact that he also doubled as his own producer, to a certain extent, so what he wanted to be heard was what you heard.

[GoreBag]

I didn't say that, either.

[Zalmoxis]

At the moment I like Gorillaz, Guns N Roses and Foghat.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Needless to say







If you dont know who these guys are and what kind of music to play your out to lunch anyway so dont ask

[JimBob]

I didn't say that, either.

Then who the hell is it? Who brought everything rogether before the Ramones?

I would say that punk would have been nothing if it wasn't for the subculture. The Sex Pistols, Siouxse and the Banshees and the other groups from that scene would have defined punk, for all of their faults, and after the six-month run, punk truly did die.

I saw the Pistols in 1976 at the Lesser Free Trade hall in Manchester and like to think of myself as amongst the first Punk/New wave.

It is true that by the late summer of '77 the thing was dead. IMO the watershed was the Queens Silver Jubilee. 'We mean it man'. I also agree that in the UK the Pistols and to a lesser extent the Damned and the Clash were the motors driving the movement. It was always about more than the music. Attitude was just as important, and don't get me onto the clothes we wore. The number of times the coppers stopped me just because I wore a shirt with 'prison' arrows on it!!!

Anyway back OT.

I can see how the Ramones would be a candidate for starting the US style of Punk. Indeed one of the first times I heard the word punk* (*a 16th century prostitute or a peice of driftwood haha) was in an NME article about Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee.

However, the case is they were following in the footsteps of other bands 3 chords tricks, or even 2 chords in Carbona not Glue.

Proto punk bands such as the Stooges, MC5, the Velvet Underground, New York Dolls all paved the way for the mid 70's explosion we now call punk rock. In particular Lou Reed and Iggy Pop (little jimmy james) are quite rightly accorded the accolade of 'godfathers of punk'.

Their legacy lives on. No more boring old fart guitar solos.*eyes Pink Floyd* Before punk, most axemen were preening, posturing onanists, these days they are just onanists.

They (Reed and Pop) stripped all the pretentiousness from rock and took it back to it's roots.

Hmm, Banned for Life? 3000 Warning Points? Forced to spend a weekend listening to Kaiser and SFTS discussing the benefits of the Sturmgewer in modern day tactical situations?

I'll think of something.

[matteus the inbred]

Arcade Fire, Canadian indie rock.

In a Dire Straits mood as well though. I like huge guitar solos, like Telegraph Road...
