Author Message   paul londrigan (Neversummer) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:15 pm:    I noticed a post a while ago about people's music taste, in particular the Greatfull Dead, no comment. I was wondering if anybody out there was a punk fan? I can't ever get enough of it, keeps me sane   MikeM Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:21 pm:    Punk's not dead It just deserves to die When it becomes another stale cartoon A close-minded, self-centered social club Ideas don't matter, it's who you know If the music's gotten boring It's because of the people Who want everyone to sound the same Who drive bright people out Of our so-called scene 'Til all that's left Is just a meaningless fad   paul londrigan (Neversummer) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:22 pm:    Thank you, thats refreshing   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:22 pm:    I listen to 7 seconds, Meatmen, Cramps, Circle Jerks, Storm Troopers of Death, SNFU, Meat Puppets, Dead Kennedies, and that kind of crap every once in a while. Mostly old punk from the 80s not really into any new stuff.   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:23 pm:    Here's some old family favorites... "God save the Queen" "Holiday in Cambodia"   Robert Sublett (Rubisco98) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:25 pm:    "I had 26 friends in the beginning but now it seems our numbers are thinning Some people drive fast others love to bet still others snort coke in a private jet. But drinking bleach is my way of winning. " One of my favorite bands of all time... The Dead Milkmen   paul londrigan (Neversummer) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:37 pm:    Dean milkmen, they are nuts, I just heard yesterday that Rancid is in the studio and their new album is due out in the spring, I am jones'in for that one.   AndyThoma Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:48 pm:    I think I should sell my rover for a "...bitchen Camero ..." Damn I love the dead milkmen, this tread makes me want to dig out my 80's punk tapes and fall in love with a "..punk rock girl.." I drifted away from punk but every now and then I get back into it, kind of how I listen to the dead Andy   todd slater (Toddslater) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 02:49 pm:    "they tell us that we lost our tails evolving up from little snails i say it's all just wind in sails are we not men? we are DEVO! we're pinheads now we are not whole we're pinheads all jocko homo are we not men? D-E-V-O monkey men all in business suit teachers and critics all dance the poot are we not men? we are DEVO! are we not men? D-E-V-O we must repeat o.k. let's go!" No where did I put my energy dome and spud ring ?   MikeM Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:36 pm:    some of my favorite punk bands are: dead kennedys exploited fear circle jerks sex pistols black flag clash gbh generation x new model army vandals some not so punk bands I like are: devo violent femmes siouxie and the banshees not an exhaustive list, but you get the picture   John Moore (Jmoore) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:53 pm:    I love the "the only band that matters" The Clash. -John   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 04:58 pm:    All I wanted was a Pepsi just one Pepsi. But, No. You wouldn't give it to me.   Erik Olson (Jon) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 05:03 pm:    ...I went to your schools, your churches... ahh, to be Institutionalized! e   TPH (Snowman) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 05:44 pm:    I second The Clash and oddly no one mentioned the Ramones(RIP).   Paul Grant (Paulgrant) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 06:08 pm:    Back in the '70's the band I was in opened for the Ramones. Must have been 1979, if my memory serves me! I used to spend a good bit of time downtown at CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. Wow, if that's not a lifetime ago!   Paul Grant (Paulgrant) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 06:11 pm:    How about the Buzzcocks, the Damned and the Stranglers? Back in those days Elvis Costello was easy listening compared to some of these guys. In another direction, is anyone into The Residents?   Bob (Yomtov) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:09 pm:    How bout Pearl Harbor and The Explosions, The Boomtown Rats, Haircut 100 or maybe I am in the wrong genre. Ah yes New Wave. Dont forget Gary Neuman !   Paul Grant (Paulgrant) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 07:14 pm:    How about Joy Division before Ian Curtis offed himself and they morphed into New Order? Sonic Youth, the godfathers of indy rock. Pavement, the real alternative to Seattle Grunge.   Tom V (Cozmo) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 08:05 pm:    You know what Robert I like you you're not the other people here in the Disco web   Chris von Czoernig (Chrisvonc) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 08:23 pm:    My CD changer is like a Pizza Hut Supreme Distortion Pizza Sex Pistols are one of my all time favorite bands. I still play the crap out of N.M.T.B,H.T.S.P. Then I jump around. Not really old style punk but I just got into The Donna's which I guess are being called new punk. Then over to old industrial like OLD Ministry & NIN and a shot of The Refused with a smidgen of LOA techno. No easy flow in there. Chris von C.   Joe M. (Little_Joe) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 08:36 pm:    I find it almost impossible to listen to the old school punk now. I used to set up shows during my 5.5 yrs in college, 80s bands like DRI, CoC, Agnostic Front, MDC, SNFU, White Flag, etc. Biggest show was Replacements, best ever was Raw Power (from Italy), they absolutely blew the roof off. Guess I'm getting old, but the Dickies, Germs, Ramones, Clash (RIP Joe) and a few others are still fun. Le Tigre has to be one the most punk bands nowadays in spirit anyway, completely abrasive lesbian electronica-punk. Cool shit.;) The greatest band on Earth is The Flaming Lips. Been a fan since 1984, they keep getting better.   Al Oliveira (Offroaddisco) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 09:35 pm:    Clash, The Jam, DK, Sex Pistols, blah balh... and most of the others that have already been posted including some of the new wave stuff.   todd slater (Toddslater) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 09:55 pm:    Paul...it's only as long ago as you let it (and very impressive time and location)...any fans of Eno, Fripp, Ferry...hell I am so damn old I remember going to any and all FZ shows I could find. Pojama People   EricV (Bender2033) Posted on Thursday, January 30, 2003 - 10:34 pm:    The Donnas will be in town next week.   Rick Lindgren (Slacker) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 12:40 am:    Here's a bone for anyone who needs to get their punk fix. It isn't alway up and it doesn't have everything but still worth checking out. http://www.totalpunkradio.com/ Rick   Nathan Cooper (Cooper) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 12:56 am:    Fugazi...   Nathan Cooper (Cooper) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 01:12 am:    Lagwagon   Nathan Cooper (Cooper) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 01:17 am:    Lonely Kings   Nathan Cooper (Cooper) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 01:19 am:    Appearently, i'm having issues with linear thought this evening, must be all that punk "music".   Jake Hartley (Jake) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 01:32 pm:    Clash, Suicidal Tendencies, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys long live Joe Strummer....RIP 2002 different nitch, but MegaDeath was big during the Gulf War with the tankers...   Read (Read) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 04:10 pm:    Todd...Nice to hear from a DEVO fan. I listen to almost all of the above plus some that some that have not been listed yet like: Gang of Four Descendants   Robert Sublett (Rubisco98) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 09:53 pm:    I about forgot... "How do you explain the Bermuda Triangle?? ELVIS NEEDS BOATS, ELVIS NEEDS BOATS, ELVIS ELVIS ELVIS ELVIS NEEDS BOATS"... Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper(I'm going strictly by memory here)   Neil Flanagan (Electriceel) Posted on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 10:18 pm:    Bravo, gentleman. A comprehensive list indeed. But you forgot the QUINTESSENTIAL hardcore band: Minor Threat Also give credit where credit is due. Iggy Pop. He was punk before punk was, well, punk.   todd slater (Toddslater) Posted on Saturday, February 01, 2003 - 11:21 am:    Well, I was wondering when someone would throw it up for Iggy.   bruce Posted on Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 12:52 pm:    ha, i have been off the boardf for a copuple of weeks while we moved to southern california from canada. nice to see some fellow LR owners like the same music as I. i love the clash, lots of old so cal hardcore. some new stuff that i like is Transplants(tim from Rancid) t he Hunns, one man army, US Bombs. Anyhow anyone else in the so cal area?   Kevin Howell Posted on Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 01:11 pm:    i'm getting nostalgic. bring back the vapors! jimmy-jones-jones-jones and his soul-soul-clones. pure poetry.   Paul Grant (Paulgrant) Posted on Thursday, February 06, 2003 - 08:26 pm:    How about The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed especially? Television, Richard Hell, Johnny Thunder, anything No Wave. Anybody out there that was even alive let alone around downtown NYC in '76, '77 or '78?
