Anything from California with hair gel and skateboards= Not punk
Sham 69, Buzzcocks, UK Subs, Crass, You have to include the Ramones of course.
The slits, Vomit,. The clash-if only bevcause they wrote English Civil war-which the Levellers covered better than the original
If Punky folk interests you check out "Atilla the Stockbroker"
If they show it on TV it probably isn't punk unless its looking back at the real punk days.
Re-Sum41 see sentence one-although I will admit that "In too deep" is annoyingly catchy.

Do they owe us a livin- of course they do of course they do
Owe us a livin-of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a livin-Of course they fuckin do

Gone but not forgotten, long live Johnny Rotten. Check out the Sex Pistols while you are at it.

Good call.

Rolling Stone rates "Never Mind The Bullocks" only behind Sgt Pepper's and Exile On Main Street.

Their personal scoff toward commercialism may have been behind some of their suck live performances but it was their contempt for their manager's lyrical influence that created the, "we'll outsmart your controversial subject matter with absurdity because it's all rip-off" idea. Nobody was safe, not even the Pistols who were commercialized into the same rats they scorned. No wonder they burned out instead of fading away.

In the beginning, MC5, The Stooges, Check out the extended mix of "Kick out the Jams" motherfuckers... and the live footage on youtube of MC5, especially Come together.

Then, the Dead Boys, New York Dolls/ Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers

If you like New Wave, Television, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, bands like the Strokes and the Killers have based large parts of their careers on one or two songs off Marquee Moon. From the UK, Magazine, Howard Devoto after he left the Buzzcocks... [it is him singing on Spiral Scratch] with John McGeogh on guitar, pre Banshees.

Then, from 1976 on, Punk hit the UK, ...The Damned, their covers of the Stooges 1970 / I feel alright and MC5's Looking at you are actually better than the originals IMO, otherwise they forged a unique path fusing in psychedelia and gothic into Punk. The best live band I ever saw, no contest.

Slaughter and the Dogs, Do it Dog style, unsung classic

The Lurkers :) The Fulham Greyhound was my local for a while.

The Adverts

Penetration

The Blood/Coming Blood

The Ruts

Killing Joke inc the 2003 album with "long time fan" Dave Grohl on drums :)

Cockney Rejects Namechecked by Robert Plant no less as pure Punk enthusiasm

Anti nowhere league

Discharge

X-Ray Spex

The Dickies

Menace

Cock Sparrer

Ramones

- They launched it all. Simple, straight forward, a lot of energy. ONETWOTHREEFOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sex Pistols

- Never mind the bollocks should be fucking issued in public schools. This album is a lot deeper than it's given credit for IMO. Timeless.

The Clash

- They started off with a HUGE Ramones influence, and went beyond to explore a wide variety of approaches that all work pretty damn well IMO. RIP Joe. Yea....I want a riot of my own!

I like most of those bands on that list. I would also include Die Kreuzen, early Corrosion of Conformity (with Mike Dean on vocals/bass), early Dr. Know, and Attitude. One of the best live shows I ever went to was COC, SNFU, and Attitude.

I remember Chi Pig (lead singer of SNFU) was wearing a big ass afro wig and hitting people in the front row on the head with a gigantic plastic baseball bat to the beat of the music, lol. Those guys really knew how to put on a show.

Mike Dean was AWESOME and he made COC what it was at the time.

When I was going to shows, The Farm was the place to go. They would have these "Day at The Farm" shows and there would be multiple bands, just all day, all night craziness. I think there's a skatepark in the park adjacent to the Farm now. "The Farm" is actually a farm now...lotsa veggies growing there.

The Mabuhay Gardens and the Rock on Broadway were also great venues at the time.
