Yeah-I know-it's "passe"-a relic- but for me-I -I...
Back in 1980,I went to NYC. I had a big brother-Mike. He introduced me to punk rock. At the time,my Michigan ass was listening to Sabbath,Hendrix,Zepplin-that kinda s**t. I still love that music. But Mike-he was into the Ramones-who were from NYC,the NY Dolls,Johnny Thunder-NYC s**t-. I didnt real hook on to it untill 1984-when I went back to NYC-and I seen the Dead Boys at the Mudd Club. I got turned on to Black Flag,the Dead Kennedys-and-still one of my favorites-the Cramps.
I have notice all the folks who usta jam on punk with me-they moved on. I STILL LIKE PUNK! I still have that "f**k the world" attitude. I may be 54 years old-but I still burn with anger and life. I aint never gonna say die!
I like how -in the middle of hillbilly country-Lux does his thing and goes apes**t.

I never liked punk music much, still don't. However, in high school I hung out with the punk crowd because they were the only people at my school who were interesting. When we listened to stuff together we tried to come up with compromises we both liked, like David Bowie and Frank Zappa. Actually it was one of the punkers who introduced me to jazz in my junior year of high school when we were trying to find something we could both stand to listen to.
I still listen to this one, 'cause it's almost more a comedy album than a punk album:

I did always like punk movies like REPO MAN.
the Sex Pistols are likely my LEAST favorite punk band-they really didnt do much work. In fact-I dont care much for Brit punk-It's more a fashion statement for them. f**k all that-the mohawks and s**t.
The thing with punk-unlike its basterd cousin metal-is the variety-you got the Bad Brains,the Dead Kennedys,the Ramones,the Cramps,X Ray Spex,the Birthday Party,Blondie-so reggae,political comment,50's rock and roll,rockabilly,jazz,freeform,disco-it just can be anything.

I found in a record store in Irvington, NJ DEAD KENNEDYS Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables sealed with the original album art on the back... I opened it... wish I'd kept it. That was a long time ago.
I had that record! I had every DK record! I wish I had them now- :bluesad:

The Clash are pretty spot on, though. But I agree.

This has become my favourite type of music over time. Huge fan of the Ramones, the Clash, the Misfits, Black Flag, Bad Brains but also straight edge bands from the past/present like Unity, Uniform Choice, DYS, Gorilla Biscuits, Minor Threat, Righteous Jams, Earth Crisis, Youth of Today, Good Clean Fun, etc.. I also find I like garage rock and surfer rock and beach rock more and more the more I hear of it... clearly influences on punk too...

Back in the late 80s while in High School, I was getting rather bored with hard rock at the time and was introduced to Black Flag's My War cassette.
After that, I got into the following:
Misfits
Ramones
Dead Kennedys
7 Seconds
Circle Jerks
Fear
Millions of Dead Cops
Crucifux (weren't that good)
Gang Green
Minor Threat
Rednecks in Pain
The Damned
Sonic Youth
Campbell's Soup Kids
E.A.T.E.R.
Bad Brains
Early Devo
and probably a few more I'm forgetting at the moment.

I like some so-called PUNK ROCK records. So, I don't quite agree with you but note my English: I don't know it's the "only punk that matters" but, not being much of a fan... of "PUNK"... I do LOVE
Raw Power... I think it's great... It's one of my favorite records.
I like
