All this arguing is pointless... Best punk band ever is SLF. They might not be your favourite, but they are by far the best & they still put on a savage gig.

Best gigs ever!!!

Ah, here. Now, I'm a big fan of their earlier stuff, but I wouldn't put em at the top of the heap and DEFINITELY wouldn't choose this ****e to showcase their quality tunes...

You didn't bite as hard as I thought you would!
Although in all seriousness, I do think their first two albums with Al Barr were better than Do Or Die, and I say that as a huge Mike McColgan fan. But that's for a different thread.

I'd say The Ramones are probably the best punk band. They did basically 'invent' punk

Although my Favourite would be (and yes I know there will be haters of this comment) - Green Day. They stopped doing punk music around mid 90's but they're still awesome.

Care to elaborate?

Brennaldo II

Ok maybe 'invent punk' was a poor choice of words.. But they were one of the 1st to have a major influence on the genre

ramones had an influence on pop more than punk

Mr.Saturn

Operation Ivy are so good they didn't even need to make a second album.

Minutemen, I'm not sure what "punk" really is... three friends who could play well but had tact and knew when to keep it short and simple, singed to an indie, traveled light and made some of the best records I own.

It looks like SST has taken down most Minutemen songs from youtube

According to the Rolling Stone mag, Greenday are the kings of punk.

Aye, I should have put ':rolleyes:' after my comment.

Just thought it was funny, especially as its a big FU to actual punk fans and bands.

AHHHH...Green Day......i remember them...... The newClash...i dont fkucing think so......:p

The Clash.....and that will never change because it's been a staunch opinion of mine since I'm three years old. My Mam and Dad listened to so much of the Clash that I'd hardly be surprised if I came out of the womb singing "What's my Name?"

Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Stiff Little Fingers and the Sex Pistols are also bands I've loved since early youth.

Favourite Clash Songs:
Complete Control
What's My Name?
Safe European Home
Jail Guitar Doors
1977

Other favourite Clash songs of mine change every now and then, depending what I'm in the mood for really, but the ones above are doubtlessly some of my favourite all-time songs.

Nic Neptune

And can Green Day really classify as Punk (not being bitchy but I consider them more general rock...not in the same league as the classics of the 70's and 80's. Not nearly as raw imo...)

G.K.

Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Clash if you don't count it.

Great thread. I listen to a lot of OI! Some bands that may interest folk. Didn't see of these getting a mention anywhere. Not as mainstream as a lot of the others mentioned on the thread.

Never been able to get into The Clash.

Toss up between Dead Kennedys and Stiff Little Fingers for me.

Yeah but it was down to a twitter/facebook vote or something, wasn't it? Obviously a band with Green Day's popularity is a shoe in, they're massive, especially amongst the age group of RS's predominant readers. I think polls like that are stupid because there will always be that never ending 'punk' debate of what's tue punk and all that ****e. I was shocked myself when I saw that. I doubt the band even cares

The best punk band ever in my opinion is the clash. No one can beat them. Here are a few of their videos live and if you listen to the normal tracks you'll see the way joe strummer changes some words and different things.

You are so right.
But I don't really consider them punk tbh They made alot of punk but they were unbelievebly experimental like on Sandinista! and London Calling.

Best 'punk' bands are The Sex Pistols and (NO.1)The Clash
