Punk, and all of its kindreds.

Perfect your mohawks and sharpen your studs. This is a thread for discussion of Punk Rock, and all of the genres upon sub-genres upon sub-sub-genres it has spawned.

So what's your favourite punk or punk influenced gem?

Jealous cowards try to control
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
They distort what we say
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Try and stop what we do
Rise above
When they can't do it themselves

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

Society's arms of control
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Think they're smart
Can't think for themselves
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Laugh at us
Behind our backs
I find satisfaction
In what they lack

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

We are born with a chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above

Now that's what I call ing punk.

Great list man! Those bands are what I listened to during 90% of my teenage days. I still listen to them now and then. Sonic Youth, even though is more like an alternative rock, still had some punk moments for sure.
NOFX for the win!

Wire's 'Pink Flag' is my favourite punk album

I still have love for the skate punk/pop punk of the 90's and early 00's. These were the first actual bands I'd ever heard as a young kid, and I would never have branched out into the older punk bands, or other genres like metal and hardcore if it weren't for these guys. I'm talking about Sum 41, The Offspring, Goldfinger, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Blink 182, etc. They were my 'gateway bands' if you like.

Ah, punk.

How can I forget Minor Threat? While I am thinking about Minor Threat, I should mention Fugazi, as well.

Madden 2004, anyone?

Can't get enough of this.

Oh!
Stand down
Manifesting a destiny of unavoidable doom
Black wolves are gnashing at our heels
Fangs of accountability all unforeseen or intentionally neglected?

Oh!
The degradation of a home
Humanity sits on its throne
Cover your eyes and ears and know
We can't escape the consequence

And now the rising of septic tides as refuse litters the Pacific Gyre
We continue to drown the ocean in its own waters
Stand down, stand down
Time's out now
Kill like we know how
Killing like we're allowed

Oh!
The degradation of a home
Humanity is so lost
Cover your eyes and ears and know (without remorse)
We can't escape the consequence
And everything's ending

Make way
A failed culture makes its mark existing only to destroy what came first
With no regard for creation
Men play God
Drop unstoppable bombs
All institutions are wrong, but none of them will ever stop

Make way for man (x4)
Bombs away (x3)
No escape

Now turn the other cheek and pretend
Full speed to hatred forcing life against its will
Full speed 'til we're dead
We can't escape the consequence

Oh! (Bombs away)
The degradation of a home (Bombs away)
Humanity sits on its throne (Bombs away)
Cover your eyes and ears and know (Bombs away)
We can't escape the consequence
No escape

I'm not sure putting the word 'Punk' on the tail of every genre of music makes it punk..

Traditional Progressive Rock Underground Irish Folk Punk...

^^I love that song, Flogging Molly FTW.
