I also prefer MCR's last two albums to their earlier stuff (although I like their old stuff too).
We're very sensible

Even though I'd put both SP and MCR in my top 5 bands, to be honest a large portion of the bands I like are punk. Then again, I have quite a broad range of musical taste.

Define the term 'punk' band. Everyone knows punk died before the mid 80's.

If you're into any of these:

Ramones
The Sex Pistols
The Damned
The Saints
Buzzcocks
The Misfits
Crass
Stiff Little Fingers
Black Flag

Or any other mid 70's early 80's punk bands than i respect you.

If you dare even class any of these:

Green Day
The Offspring
Rancid
Blink 182
Simple Plan
Less Than Jake
Good Charlotte
Sum 41
Son Of Dork

as punk, then i will seriously slap you. Damn pop bands dont even deserve being a sub-genre.

The true bastard son of Punk is Industrial.

i love old old green day!!! i also love most of those oold punk bands you listed- you forgot the clash though!!! htye ARE Punk

True, in a some senses The Clash are considered punk. But i left them out as almost all of thier material isn't.

London Calling, thier most famous album, and one of the best albums of all time is way more rock (n roll), and thier is a lot of reaggae undertones. Even thier first album Combat Rock is more rock than anything.

Listen to "London Calling", tell me one song on thier that is punk. "Jimmy jazz", "Rudie can't fail", "spanish bombs", "death or glory" , "guns of brixton"...

Maybe in political terms they where punk, but in thier music was a fucking awesome rock band

I guess they are rock but i would kind of consider them punk. I guess its the way you look at it

You're right, do you still love me?

I honestly hate My Chemical Romance. Im pretty open minded about music, so im gonna brag and say i can tell who's talented and who's not, so MCR is definately not talented in the slightest. Yes, this is my opinion, but I just wanted to say they suck. No one needs to be the majority! Just because your friends love them, doesn't mean you have to! Be the non-conformist!

^^


edit: damn it didnt work- i was supposed to be agreeing with the above post.

As far as MCR goes I've heard maybe two of their songs and I wouldn't slap them for doing what they do. -Who Cares? If you don't like them don't listen to them.

That said...I don't mind them mentioning SP in an article because it only adds to SP's popularity. At least they have enough respect for true musicians to give them credit. If they were really ass holes they could just say "SP who? screw them they haven't been around and we are the shit now" (I have seen bands do this to other pioneering bands)

Come on guys, think of all the kids who see MCR as heroes, basically they are saying to everyone that SP are their heroes. It's a good thing.

agreed

Ramones - I like them, but surely they were the first pop-punk band.
The Sex Pistols - They're ok. Not so much punk as a marketing tool.
The Damned - Don't like them and always considered them rock.
The Saints - Meh.
Buzzcocks - Yes, I like them.
The Misfits - Meh.
Crass - Don't know them.
Stiff Little Fingers - They're ok.
Black Flag - Have their moments.

You blatantly missed the best punk band from that era - The Dead Kennedys.

Green Day - Love them, but they're more rock than punk.
The Offspring - Quite like them, but not punk.
Rancid - Street punk, ska. Lara Frederikson's solo stuff is true street punk.
Blink 182 - How are they in your punk list??
Simple Plan - How are they in your punk list??
Less Than Jake - How are they in your punk list??
Good Charlotte - How are they in your punk list??
Sum 41 - How are they in your punk list??
Son Of Dork - How are they in your punk list??
Ok, I know this was technically your 'unpunk' list, but still... you may as well have listed Britney Spears if you're listing most of those.

Going off the bands you listed, if any of us, it's you who needs help defining the term 'punk band'!

For more modern bands I like:
The Unseen
Early Anti-Flag
Bombshell Rocks
The stuff Jello Biafra still does (most recently with the Melvins)
Dropkick Murphys
Street Dogs
86'd
Operation Ivy
Etc etc

And then I do like some of the new wave/pop punk such as:
The Vandals
NOFX
Pulley
The Phoenix Foundation
Ducky Boys
The Briggs
Etc etc

I'm sure you'll argue that some of those (particularly in the 2nd list) aren't punk. But I'd say they're more punk than most of the bands you listed even in your 1st list - if the Ramones and The Misfits had just started a few years ago, they'd be slated as punk wannabes too.

The Dead Kennedys are hit and miss for me.

Sorry for going off on one epitome

Hehe, that's ok. Me too - I just didn't want people to think I listened to Good Charlotte etc! 8)

I do know what you mean, people label all sorts of crap as punk these days!
