Yeah, me too.
Although they do deserve this centuries Kiss award for wearing loads of make up.

This.

If we're talking about the best punk produced in this decade then Propagandhi have brought out some fucking brilliant stuff and haven't rested on their laurels. Strung Out 'n' all. Actually, everyone that was a better punk band than Green Day ten years ago - and there were plenty - have all brought out better stuff this decade as well.

Way back in the 80's, I saw written on a bog wall in Huyton, "Greenday aren't punk, but they are shite'. The Clash and the Ramones were the best punk bands.

Its a good shout IMO, Great live which is always important, the only thing that would stop the claim is they did go in a different direction the last 2 albums but they earnt that right

dont kid yourself guys just because they got popular and are liked by a younger audience or dont have any hard hitting lyrics doesnt mean its not punk, theres different genres of punk

Dewey Finn · « **Reply #10 on:** August 10, 2010, 08:45:37 am »

Anway, Mark Perry was right and Strummer endorsed his statement that, "Punk died the day the Clash signed to CBS". That was in 77.

Party Phil · « **Reply #11 on:** August 10, 2010, 08:52:08 am »

just no

Dewey Finn · « **Reply #12 on:** August 10, 2010, 08:56:50 am »

Good topic though, loads a room for debate. Anyway, he did say this century so that rules out the Clash and the Ramones in which case I'd deny that there have been any genuine punk bands post 77.

Zlen · « **Reply #13 on:** August 10, 2010, 09:02:23 am »

I don't consider them to be a punk band at all.
There, I've said it.

Words fall short in capturing the hatred I feel for this POP-band. If you want real punkrock, check out the Bronx, the Dwarves, Pissed Jeans, Fucked Up or even Rancid. If you want melodic punkpop, you should try Alkaline Trio or Hot Water Music.

No I haven't mate but that wouldn't make any difference. Signed to Virgin if I'm not mistaken? Not simply about the sound you make.

Don't judge them on that. You need to see their hair styles. Keeping the scene alive.

While Green Day may be good at what they do, it is corporate punk to me.

Although viewed as hardcore, give me Discharge or early Bad Brains any day of the week.

Even Jello Biafra would back the fuck off if he caught a glimpse of those hats. It's just a good thing that god decided to split the essence of punk equally between two bands, to save the world from just being turned into one giant riot by how hardcore they are. In his wisdom, to dilute the sheer essence of punk, he gave us Good Charlotte, to rock just as hard and stop us from all going apeshit on one and other over those guys being too fucking punk!

You could spare yourself a few minutes with the one on the top left of the Good Charlotte picture. He doesn't look like he's got long left anyways, unless the latest fashion to hit the Banana Republic is the Christian Bale look from the Machinist.

Punk served it's purpose in the mid to late 70's. It was a racket then & it's a racket now. Green Day are pathetic, as were The Clash & then you've got John Lydon's butter advert.

Mad Men · « **Reply #36 on:** August 10, 2010, 11:29:59 am »

Green Day are the punk band we loved from the states till they signed for corporate and came out with their first mega album in mid 90's...they have gone from strenght to strenght. But just because they sign for corporate doesn't mean they sold out.

At least they can reach a wider audience now.

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #37 on:** August 10, 2010, 11:30:50 am »

The Clash were fucking brilliant. Mainly because they realised punk was a dead end and made something more of their music.

All these new punks have none of the reggae influence. There's no variety to it, and it's pure commodification.

Don't talk the big man mate. No chance you'd go near either of the Madden brothers. They're "made", can't you see the T-shirt.

The Clash are fucking terrible.

Their music was garbage as was their arty farty facade, their music actually makes me feel sick.
