Punk Rock Thread(Proto,77',80's Hardcore,Crossover, Anarcho,Crust,Gunk, etc.)

We have a Metal,hip hop, and new music thread, so i figured we needed a punk rock thread, and a place where people can share what punk bands they are into at the moment or their favorite punk bands of all time.

Dead Boys- I Need Lunch(1977)

The Pagans- What's This Shit Called Love?(1978)

Poison Idea- Pure Hate(1983)

Teengenerate- Let's Get Hurt(1994)

Direct Control- You're Controlled(2005) Formed in 2003, sound like they are from 1983.

Bl'ast- It's In My Blood(1987) Santa Cruz's finest. I got to chat with Cliff the singer a few months ago at a local SC bar. Henry Rollins may have said that "every song sounded like thirsty and miserable",but to be honest this band was better than Black Flag. Don't believe me? Ok, go listen to Family man or Process of weeding out, then go listen to "Power Of Expression" or "It's In My Blood" and get back to me. Obviously Greg Ginn knew they were great, as he signed them to his SST label.

Rhino 39-Xerox/No Compromise(1979) Between Rhino 39 and Middle Class, these two bands started Hardcore Punk. I can't think of any other bands that were playing as fast in the late 70's. They gave birth to the 80's hardcore movement, and DOA coined the term Hardcore in 1981.

Middle Class- Out Of Vogue(1978) R.I.P. Mike Atta. The hardcore bomb dropped with this band. Such a heavy hitter.

I was a British "Crass Punk" in the late 1970s and early '80s. Most of my memorable songs are pre-77 and nearly all are pre-1980. I've really enjoyed my trip down memory lane in picking these gems out. (Most of these links are NSFW, but this is "punk" though.):

X-Ray-Spex - The Day The World Turned Day-Glo

Crass - Big A Little A

Subhumans - Religious Wars

Raped - Escalator Hater

Damned - New Rose

Stranglers - No More Heroes

Anti-Nowhere-League - So What?

Albertos Y Los Trios Paranoias - Kill

Zounds , Did He Jump/My Mummy's Gone

Definitely a long overdue thread.

Some things that I've been listening to recently - mainly stuff from the late 2000s, back when I was really into music:

@vfl83: Nice semi obscure picks with the Pagans and Teengerate.

@diz: Probably can't start a post without New Rose and I can never not laugh at that So What video, for obvious reasons, I also like that Parkinson one which I think Charlie Brooker did as another laff.

Derby.

Surrey. This is still punk to me. For a long time Boy About Town became my anthem, also the Girl about Town by Helen Love

Gainsville.

Raleigh/Chappel Hill. NC had some of the punkest indie bands of the 90s; Archers of Loaf, Polvo... Not to mention Corrosion of Conformity and AntiSeen help formed that outsider of outsiders of punk mentality.

Seattle.

Seattle. Still to this day I search for the recalled 8 Way Santa LP cover. TAD to me were the evolution of Pacific Northwest hardcore like Poison Idea.

Belfast. Northern Ireland and Ireland had some of the best punk bands of all time. Starjets, Rudi, Victim, Shock Treatment, Undertones, SLF etc. I spent some many weekends at record fairs talking about First Wave Northern Ireland Punk.

Fukushima. Michiro Endo did some of the most genuinely threatening scary stuff and not in a GG Allen way. Also Video Stalin did some interesting stuff. The problem with Video Stalin is their only LP release wasn't mixed from the original source but the Love Terrorist VHS that compiled everything they ever did.

Chicago. Also Naked Reagan Raygun

Detroit. Still an amazing EP.

Pulawy. I remember when I bought this 45, I had to digitise it so I could play it over and over again, because I knew it wouldn't survive the end of the day with the way I was playing it.

Punchbowl, Sydney. I could probably post non stop Hard Ons! songs. Also fuck all the self righteous punk police.

Brisbane. I paid way too much for this single but its totally worth it. Just about every punk band from the first wave of Joh Bjelke-Petersen's Queensland; RAZAR, Saints, etc

New York. Honestly wish there was more.

New York. Another great single that could've led to something more.

New York. Maybe the saviors of hardcore. But just led to a number of other bands that borrowed the sounds and got big off it. [cough] Refused

Austin. Yes I am not a fool it is a rip off, but you can't say its not fun, fun, fun. What a cracking tune.

Melbourne. Maybe one of the most influential bands and records of my life. A band that questioned about being a punk at a time when I thought I knew what it meant and certainly when everyone looked the part but their actions were far from it.

Kyoto. In my opinion the first hardcore band. Formed 78 nothing recorded til 79 and nothing was officially released or recorded, most being live bootlegs. I always thought Japanese hardcore was more exciting and dangerous when I heard it, maybe cause of the language barrier or the imagery of Yokais, but I get a thrill from; Bastard, Death Side, Aburadako, Gauze. "Gauze - Equalizing Distort" should be a genre in itself.

...and people said the Ramones were fast.

Toronto. I do my best to collect a lot of Candian stuff but specifically Ontario stuff, Career Suicide, Hassler Fucked Up, Brutal Knights, Haymaker, Burning Love, Mature Situations, Swarmed etc

Madrid. I also love that cover of "My Boyfriend's a Zombie" by Alaska y Dinarama. I hope you like Hi-NRG and 80s Mediterranean electro pop like Sabrina - Boys. I remember when this was the troll song to play to piss punks off.

Shibuya. If they existed today, they'd be like green day, shudder. But its still an amazing record.

Spent a lot of time making a definitive as possible history of punk from inception to the '90s on Spotify. Check it out

My favorite punk rock band ever is Hot Snakes (songs: "Let it Come" - "XOX" - "Braintrust")

My favorite punk rock album is probably.... ummm.... Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Rodeo Tandem Beat Specter

They're broken up bands though. The best punk rock songwriter around today is probably Jeff Rosenstock.
