Members SpectralJulian Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Buy the box set called "No Thanks! The 70's Punk Rebellion"Also, buy the Misfits boxed set, and buy "20 Years of Dischord"Some of my favorite punk bandsWIREThe MisfitsBig BlackMission of BurmaFugazi (and bands that led up to it- Happy Go Licky, Rites of Spring, Minor Threat)The RamonesThe StoogesGang of Fouroh, also buy everything from the Stooges and the Velvet Underground and the Ramones. Also, search high and low for IMPORT comps from small labels with maybe one recognizable punk band on it and a bunch of other stuff. I got a comp from the late 70's with Gang of Four, Mekons, Human League (before they sucked), 3.2, Scars, and the Flowers on it. AWESOME stuff. The more obscure and the less material a band put out (IE Scars, Flowers, Crime) the better.Edit: I noticed someone mentioned Naked Raygun- Basement Screams is a {censored}ing awesome album.

Members vifitflag909 Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 take a look here. it's bunch of mp3's from TONS of old punk bands. A lot of them, but maybe not all of them, are good. I'd reccomend you some specifics but really you're better off just going down the list and listening untill you find things you like. there's a lot, including a bunch of what was already mentioned here. enjoy. http://punkmodpop.free.fr/mp3.htmalso, The Exploding Hearts (pretty new, not on that site) are an excellent band if you like the '77 style power pop punk.

They're a really solid, great band. There a bands there are much more derivative and deserving of such criticisms than those guys. Besides, some of them have Drive Like Jehu under their belt!

Members Televator Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Punk's O.K., but post-punk is more my preference; think of it as applied punk (like applied science).

Members theweight Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 The entire SST catalog of the early to mid 80s was genius. Minutemen, Sonic Youth, Black Flag, Descendents, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr, Meat Puppets. The only thing that even comes close to that amount of talent is early Dischord.

In the late 70's, the theory of punk was to do your own thing how you wanna do it, not follow some punk-rock rubrick or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theweight Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Originally posted by SpectralJulian SST and Dischord were pretty different entities- Dischord was regional, SST was national. If you want to get technical, sure. But most bands on SST came from California. I was only talking in a sense of how much talent a label puts out. By your scale, Dischord has it all over SST in that all their acts were part of a small scene, and that's fine. What was the big LA label back then? Alternative Tentacles? Eww.

What was the big LA label back then? Alternative Tentacles? Eww. Not saying Dischord is better, but that it is hard to compare them because they are different animals. Dischords discography is like a cultural and historical record of a group of people in DC and that fascinates me. Sonic Youth is my favorite band of all time though. Touch and Go was another cool 80's label, and it still has good stuff to this day. And yes Televator, we're in agreement. I'm just sort of pointing out how the difference between post-punk and punk at the time wasn't as big a deal as it is now. When I think of punk, I always think of music with that attitude more than music with that sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
