10 best PUNK ROCK songs!

RCMerchant · September 08, 2012, 04:54:14 PM

OK-this can be tricky-one mans classic rock or New Wave is anothers punk-but-well-use your own standerds-thats what punk is all about!

Mine-
1.1969-by the Stooges-This is classic proto-punk by any standerds-some would say Search and Destroy-I love it-like this one better.
2.Kick Out the Jams-MC5-yeah-most folks think punk started in NYC or Britan...I dont think so,baby-right here in Michigan,me freinds.
3.Bonzo Goes to Bitburg-Ramones-I could fill this list with Ramones songs-but I'm doing the one bandone song deal.
4.Garbage Man-the Cramps!!!!!-I love the Cramps.
5.Bodies-the Sex Pistols-f**k this and f**k that-!
6.Holiday in Cambodia-the Dead Kennedys-the DK's deserve a whole 'nother thread-top 10 DK songs.
7.Slip It in-Black Flag-Henry Rollins before he turned into a talk show host. He really should stick too screaming his brains out instead of trying to be a philospher.
8.Oh Bondage!Up Yours! X Ray Spex--s**t man-this band-and song-is waaaay underated. Makes me wanna dance and beat my head into a wall all at once! Ouch!
9.I Dont Care About You-Fear-f**k YOU!
10 .Banned in DC-the Bad Brains-I cant think of enuff adjectives to decribe this band-innovative,beautiful,angry,-just simply A-bomb! Drr.Know-the guitarist-is a GOD.

I usta be in pits like that-the Dead Boys in NYC was INSANE-! So much fun-young,dumb,full of cum-! Beating each other up-helping up the guy you just knocked down-aughing! Having lotsa fun. You might think that looks like violence-its not. We all actually cared about one another-no one got serious hurt-and we were all misfists and there to enjoy a night of punk rock and camarderie-we were like a tribe of geeks-we really did care about one another-because the world thought we were crazy....which we were.

I know-I left out a lot of far-out shtr-but hey-its 10.
Howzabout YOURS?

9.

Hit the nail in my head man!

Of course -cant get it all-the DAMNED NEAT-o!

Sorry-but I dont consider s**t like Green Gay and the faux punk of today punk.
Hair dont make ya punk. LIFE does! ART does! Mix it! LIVE IT!!! PUNK ROCK is what it is...not prefab clothes from some upscale mall shop-(Hot Topic,anyone?)
Horsecock.....phoney punks are nice people..I'm NOT.

Are you a drunk? Have you ever been to jail? Tried suicide? For real-tried it-cop out. f**k THAT.
I Think punk goes beyond everythin I just said....It means RISING ABOVE to me-to live-to figure it out- to MOVE-even when you think you cant...and that happens to me EVERY DAY-as all you-my freinds-may have noticed.
I think I may be bi-polar-but Ive decided NOT to do pills-Im just gonna see how I go for a while-f**k it-itll be interesting.

Punk- to me-means breaking the boundries-good,bad,ugly-it all fits!
It means having an open mind to new s**t.
Means daring to be different.
Status quo? Ah-I dont think so. f**k THAT!

On that note-I made a steak for me sweetie Tina-with onions! she gets outta work here in a few minutes.
And tater tots.
Ill be back-love you all,folks-!
