"Who likes bands like Good Charloote and Green day and Blink182?"

I really like punk, Rock and Punkrock does anyone else and could anyone recommend any other bands of a similar nature or type of music

there's a brilliant line in the book that comes with Strapping Young Lad's "No Sleep 'til Bedtime" album, the end of it reads "... do a better job, b!tch afterwards"

it's worth considering i think. if everyone can see what's so very "wrong" with a genre or a style, then why not have a go yourself?

Exactly. A lot of this thread has reminded me of a fantastic old Jawbreaker lyric; "you're not punk and I'm telling everyone, save your breath I never was one". Sorry but anyone who thinks that Green Day for example aren't punk is wrong in so many ways. Scenes change and develop, embrace it. There's some great new stuff out there. Saying that punk ends with bands like the Clash is like saying that pop music shouldn't have changed since the Beatles.

Oh and good recommendation for Rise Against, the Revolutions Per Minute CD is an awesome place to start exploring more catchy US punk.

BTW, although I'm all for progress, is anyone else annoyed that Black Flag are now being used to sell clothes on TV? =(

Loki, sorry to digress, but can I point your attention in the direction of the JAT plague in General?

Once again, it's getting out of hand.

Yeah, I got 'Siren Songs...' a while back, which is good too, not sure which I prefer. The first track 'State of the Union' is absolutely great, but none of the other songs are quite as good as that.

??? What clothes / Black Flag song is it...?
I was more than a little suprised when Henry Rollins started presenting that car building / destruction derby type show a while back... (was kinda like 'Scrapheap Challenge', but more EXTREME, cause Rollins was presenting it and he's HARDCORE!)

;-)

Can't remember the ad, only saw it the once. It wasn't Rollins though, it was early Black Flag (the good stuff!). I think it was one of the Keith Morris tracks like Nervous Breakdown or summat.

Green Day's songs are good but there video's are rubbish.
