maybe the wrong place to ask but I've been curious. What 'genre' is Husker Du?

Depends on what era your looking at, they would have once been considered hardcore, but then they branched into a fuzzy warm toned, honey dripped, garage band sound, I guess that's what they call Indie?

Subhumans
Regan Youth
Cocksnot
The Dead Alives
JFA
The Dead Kennedys
The Casualties
Television
The Buzzcocks
The Bones Brigade
Anything off SST Records
Gang Green
Septic Death
Satanic Surfers
Mephaskapheles
U.S. Bombs, becaus Duane Peters is fucking funny and is a great all American skater/Junkie Bum, his new project, Duane Peters & the Great UnWashed, is pretty interesting as well.
Krum Bums
The list goes on and on, why do you care?

That's an excellent question. When I think about some of my favorite "punk rock" bands from the OG days and beyond, quite a few of them aren't "classic" punk (or as they called it back then, "buzzsaw") like Sex Pistols, Ramones, etc. Think of Siouxsie's "The Scream." It's classic punk, but it's very arty, almost postpunk before postpunk existed. How about Television or The Stranglers? Television featured complex dueling guitar solos and poetic lyrics, sort of the opposite of the punk aesthetic, yet they were called proto-punk. The Stranglers definitely had the attitude but their keyboard parts were downright baroque ... almost Rick Wakeman-ish. They were part of the punk milieu, but how "punk" were they? Blondie? Talking Heads? Tubeway Army? New York Dolls? Gang of Four?

Loved way too many to name but it was really hearing The Sex Pistols for the first time that convinced me that this punk rock thing was IT. Goodbye to the Yes and ELO albums that I was into as a teenybopper.

Here's something for you hardcore youngsters to laugh at: I saw Circle Jerks opening for The Mentors in 1979, and was like "what is this L.A. B.S.? That's not punk!"

That carpet is pretty punk rawk

I agree - that that experience was trancendant (in a non-meditative way )

Cool list! I love the Buzzcocks

Descendents kick ass!!

I would consider them a punk band for sure, I haven't listened to much of their stuff but they are cool.

Most of what I like is heavily influenced by the Ramones and Im really into the Lookout records bands. I also like a lot of old pop punk as well.

The Ramones
Screeching Weasel
The Queers
The Groovie Ghoulies
The Mr T Experience
The Smugglers
Sloppy Seconds
The Mcrackins
The Lillingtons
The Dickies
The Buzzcocks
The Vindictives
The Connie Dungs
The Parasites

This my buddy Daves band the Parasites , they have been around since the 80's and are amazing!

my band list wouldn't be much different than everybody else has posted- heavy on the US hardcore, British 80's stuff and of course the classics.

Even though I do not call myself a punk anymore, I still carry valuable life lessons from my involvement. The whole DIY thing. I still help out the local scene when I can, usually by doing art for gig posters. I just did an album cover for a national band- stuff like that.

My favorite aspect of punk rock? You get to meet all your heroes/favorite bands.

Yeah that's awesome, DIY and having that mindset about helping others and the whole not trying to rip people off mindset like so many giant rock bands have.

What is this the 10th thread about what punk bands we listen to?
How about just right now(even though there is a thread for that too)?

No Hope for the Kids, The Ladies and Old Firm Casuals.

Shit I am bad about looking back, didnt think this had been discussed.

th' INBRED - scene death (1985 U$A)
