The Punk Rock Thread

Classic pre-punk... Saw them at CBGB back in '80something. A lot of bands at the time went after that look/sound/attitude, which started as sort of garage rock, and morphed into early glam, with David Johansen and most of the rest of the band cross dressing for shows. Really out there stuff for the time. Then along came the Ramones, who started out like the rest, even going for a glam look for their first couple shows, but quickly found their own ground, and really launched the American punk scene as we know it today. The New York Dolls stayed the course, along with Television and a few other smaller East Coast punk rock bands, influencing countless modern punk bands, and became legendary on their own, while bands like Blondie and the Talking Heads started the New Wave sound, with bands like Devo and the B-52 going down that road, too. The British punk scene exploded simultaneously (Sex Pistols, Clash...), while here in the US, punk bands sprung up in the midwest (Husker Du, Iggy Pop/Stooges) and California (Agent Orange, Minor Threat, Suicidal Tendencies...).

Fun times...

 

Not exactly punk, but a very good band in my opinion. I love how loud and aggressive punk is, but I also love very dynamic music as well. This is a good middle ground.[video=youtube;yi1LrNtVltg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi1LrNtVltg[/video]

 

^^^^That was really good. Funny b/c I have a buddy who has been trying to put me on to some Dinosaur Jr and I just haven't gotten around to listening to them, I really liked that.

 

yea man, love there stuff. For the longest time I tried to like punk but I always got bored. I like classic rock like pink Floyd and led zeppelin but It was always to, I don't now, fancy or whatever. Then I found all these alternative bands from the 80s and 90s like dinosaur jr, sonic youth, mudhoney, radiohead, and of course nirvana and just fell in love. It had that aggressive punk attitude but you could also tell that the bands took there art seriously. Here's some more.[video=youtube;XpJWSPV4mck]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpJWSPV4mck[/video]
