Rutlefan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Several good songs aside, I think Green Day is a hack band. Punk? Ask John Lydon...Several good songs aside, I think Green Day is a hack band. Punk? Ask John Lydon... Green Day has always struck me as the misbegotten love child of the Buzzcocks (great) and the Goo Goo Dolls (melodramatic chick band, no offense intended to cool chicks with good taste in music).

Rutlefan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Besides my obvious choice of Wire (being a true believer, while admitting that they are not really a proper punk band I suppose, being "post" punk, or "art punk", if quibbling), and the most obvious choice of The Clash, The Stranglers were a "punk" band that became really artistic songwriters. The Pretenders first album had punk moments. Do the Violent Femmes count as punk? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 minutemen could easily outplay dream theater, and they don't have a song longer than 5 minutes What???? I guess it depends on what you mean by outplay. I seriously doubt that though. Dream Theater have played 3 hour sets not to mention the fact that they are virtuosos and have chops galore.

Lucas Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Bringing this thread back to life I've been listening to one of my favorite bands from the 90s - The Lunachicks Saw 'em in 1997 and they killed ... Stayed after the show and met the bassist Squid - she was humble, sweet and very kind - signed the poster I took off the wall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH69WU1-I6s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The Dead Kennedys are not only fuckking talented, they are intellectual and amazing!! FUKK! I'm a Republican and I love this band!!! I remember reading that Jello ran for the mayor of San Francisco. He had like 12% of the votes. LOL! East Bay Ray rules. Such an incredible guitar tone. Surf guitar on mushrooms. Personally I think the Dead Kennedys deserve their own thread but I'm too tired to start one. FUCKK IT. It would die a quick death anyway.
