My Awesome Compilation (Not to bad, saw them live two weeks back, not to popular though, as they were playing with spitalfield and Fall out Boy.
Brand New (Simply outstanding, no doubt about seeing them live when they tour the UK)
Taking Back Sunday (Would actually say they sold out over the last year, still awesome though.
My Chemical Romance (Thought I would like them, but to be honest they are a pile of crap)
Glassjaw (No opinion)
The Used (Should die)
Some other bands you should and listen to.
Fall Out boy
Jimmy Eat World
Further seems forever
Brighteys
Sunny day real estate
Straylight run

I've also heard 'headfirst for halos' which goes on in a similar manner about being unhappy and wanting suicide.
And your logic is flawed. So I've got to hear a bands album to judge whether they're good or not? So if a band release the most abysmal track ever (see 'Three of a kind' with 'Babycakes') I shouldn't judge them? Sure...

rubbish, you're only a coupla years older than me, certainly not old enough to have been part of punk the first time round.
ya big liar you :P

true to a point. punk isn't a style of music, it's an ethos.
it's the spirit of "stop moaning and do something", don't complain about bad bands, form your own, put gigs on, fund your own records, print flyers on your pc and get your mates to photocopy them at college. punk isn't about fashion, having high hair or pierced nuts, it's a reaction against conformism and any band that does things off it's own back has a certain level of the punk rock vision in them, no matter what branch of punk they play nor whether you like it or not. touting "they're not punk, the pistols are punk, the clash are punk" as your reasoning simply won't stand. the punk DIY scene has moved on, it's not about standing at the back with your arms folded going "damn kids, they don't know what they're on about" it's about supporting enterprise and freedom of expression. the idea of punk has ironically been blurred by the people who claim to love it the most.
Green Day, Offspring, etc breathed life back into punk by getting it mainstream exposure with their more "pop" brand of punk. what they succeeded in doing was getting more people interested in the scene, which was only ever a good thing for the older bands as well. why are these bands not punk? because they "sold out" and signed a major label deal? rubbish. if you started a job, worked hard and never got offered a promotion, you'd be fed-up. this is no different. the best thing about many bands on major labels is that they take the new money they're making and immediately start working against the majors. The Offspring and Rancid are just 2 examples of bands that have started their own record labels to give newer punk bands a helping hand (Epitaph is now a huge label, does that mean signing with them is selling out too?) and surely working straight back against the establishment is the very essence of punk?
(check out Moby's licensing of his music to Nike, and when his paycheck arrived he donated it to help fund a campaign to shut down NIke's sweatshop factories)

Aha, Tribbers got carried away with himself.
Sex?
Meh and double meh at all these supposed Punk Bands. I'm old enough to just remember when Punk really was different and really meant something. All the modrn day copyists aren't getting the point. Punk was about rebelling against the norm, modern day punk bands want to conform to a different kind of norm. They fail miserably because they simply copy everything previously labelled as 'punk' and bring nothing new to the table.
Go check out The S** Pistols and The Clash and just look how they brough together different styles of music with DIY ethic that really did promote something different and you'll realise that these polished, planned n00bs aren't fit to re-string their guitars.
