I love Punk Rock, and I'd love to hear more, so I'd like to know what bands I should listen to.

If it helps my favorite punk bands are Ramones, Misfits, Pennywise, Husker Du, Fugazi, Green day and Blink-182.

Iggy and the Stooges!!! Maybe not quite punk but it all started there. A really under-rated band is Radio Birdman. Check out their song descent into Maelstrom.

How about MC5? Punk? Not sure. Either way, I say Kick Out the Jams Mother -uckers!


It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.

Some of GG's early bands did some good recordings, I have a couple on vinyl that are pretty good.

Other ones not mentioned that are more proto-punk:

-Wire (Pink Flag album has a song covered by Minor Threat)

-Gang of Four
