I will kick off this sub-forum as well.

This thread is about real punk. None of that Emo-Punk of which I am not a large fan. But I am talking about GBH, Anti-Flag, The Clash, Social Distortion and more. Certainly for the most part the earlier punk bands got it right, and as time goes on it is increasingly rare to find a punk band that gets traditional punk right. I for one blame this on the media. They play nothing but the pop-punk or pseudo-punk, though some of it is good, most of it that they play on the radio/TV a la MTV is awful. They suck the viewers in to the worst kind of "punk" at an early age.

How do you feel about Sum 41? - Xaej

I like a lot of punk, I'm not going to attempt to list all of the bands.
