    Yes, I am aware of Noah Devine. I actually own his book 'Dharma Punx'. It's really good. It was actually the catalyst that made me want to do the 12 steps and deepen my practice of Buddhism.

    I love the Ramones and have some of their CDs. I just didn't know they were classified as punk rock! :confused:

    I'm fond of some of the more 'intellectual' stuff, like Dead Kennedys and Bad Religion. ^_^

    Founding fathers of punk, so their sound is a lot different from punk bands of today.

    I wonder what they'd think of bands like Suicidal Tendencies or Propagandhi or The Exploited who sound a lot different.

    Dillinger Four is one of my guilty pleasures. Every song is the same. But it's such gooooooood song

    Oh and if you like post-punk you NEED to check out this band from Austin,TX called Opposite Day. They're probably my favorite band. You can get a couple of their albums on iTunes

    I like celtic and folk based punk.
    I am more into Flogging Molly, The Go Set, Gogol Bordello, Dropkick Murphys and some foreign bands nobody would've heard of. However, I can still appreciate bands like Rise Against, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Vision and Less Than Jake.

    I used to be a big punk fan back in the 80's, but not so much any more.

    I have to add The Saints to the list, they would have to be one of my favorite punk bands. And of course Siouxie and the Banshees, who I still love.

    I've just been doing a huge Bauhaus binge for the last couple of months.

    Not "punk" - but the godfathers of yet another genre.

    Who made about as much as the Ramones did.

    I spent the late 70s and early 80s with a big-ass multi-coloured mohawk and leathers covered in christmas tree spikes. Before I got into Batcave, I was into the Toronto hardcore scene. Those were good times, when people were actually articulate and very political.

    You forgot Direct Action, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Social Distortion, Buzzcocks, Corrosion of Conformity, Husker Du, etc. I was really impressed when I first heard Rage Against the Machine and Green Day. I thought that they captured some of the immediacy that music had lost since the punk scene died down.
