So, this is going to show peoples ages. I was born early 80s so hit my peak around 1994 when PUNK ROCK in the states really blew up, bands like Green Day and The Offspring got regular airplay.
I always was more for the “Underground” bands.
1.NOFX
2.Pennywise
3.Good Riddance
4.A Wilhelm Scream
5.Propagandhi
6.No Fun At All
7.The Offspring
8.No Use for a Name
9. Strung Out
10.Game Over
Frenzal, Lagwagon and Bad Religion could have been on there
Was a massive Rise Against fan but they really lost me over the last few albums.
In no Particular order my top 10 are
Ramones
Sex Pistols
The Clash
Dead Kennedys
Iggy and the Stooges (even Iggy on his own)
Drop Kick Murphy
Offspring
Bad Religion
Rise Against
Misfits
Iggy’s solo bands have never had the talent of Ron Asheton or James Williamson. They are 2 of the greatest Guitarists of all time… none of the other 9 bands I mentioned (Including Iggy), would be around if it wasn’t for both Asheton & Williamson.
Hard genre as so much snobbery, I’ve gone with bands that I like rather than with ‘cred’. In no particular order
Blink 182
Sum 41
Good Charlotte
My chemical romance
Fall out boy
Simple plan
Avril lavigne
5 seconds of summer
That dude off Australian idol, sung that wasabi song.
No particular order:
The Stranglers
The Sex Pistols
Devo
Ian Drury and the Blockheads
Dead Kennedys
Public Image Ltd
UK Subs
The Damned
The Jam
The Cure
Sorry gotta have The Ramones in there too
The Pogues as well.
