Yeah, 80's punk laid such a great foundation for music today. It's too bad that the "Punk" rock today is littered with garbage bands like Fallout Boy.
IMO, 80s punk ended in 1987 with the breakup of Husker Du.
Yeah. Maybe it ended when the first kid said "Punk's not dead." | |

Posted: 1/9/2009 8:03:10 PM | Anyone remember Robert Hazard ? I saw him several times at the Bolero. This past summer he showed up somewhere and sounds like Elvis, maybe even a litttle country.
Escalator of Life was his only hit..
Some I remember:
Aus Rotten
New York Dolls
The Damned
Velvet Underground
Fugazi
Bad Religion | |

the descendents--anyone ?? come on now
I still remember coming home from school and putting on Suburban Home by The Descendents. A punk from school telling me I am not punk enough for wearing my Black Flag t-shirt, dark blue fitted jeans and a shredded pair of Vans skate shoes.
Now we're all middle aged punks. Just as bad as middle aged hippies. | |

Oh no, we are much worse.
Hippies age better, they just get more earthy. A 45 year old in a moshpit is just ridiculous...
Get a haircut, hippies!  | |

One time a bunch of us must have been thinking exactly the same thing when this middle aged dude got up the stage getting ready to crowd dive. I caught his weird disbelieving look mid-air when the crowd thought exactly the same thing...I am not going to be the one head where his fat sweaty hairy ass lands on...lemme just check out for a sec over there, in the corner SPLATTT!!!
Although, you gotta give it to the middle aged punks though....not giving a flip and all that. I work with a 50 year old who listens to Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys. Its sort of normal and weird at the same time.  | |

Posted: 11/10/2009 6:26:57 AM | I have an entire relationship with the cute red-headed boy who details my car solely based on Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. I wonder if he has any idea that I'm old enough to have seen the DKs live during that era.
Hey Nazi punks! Fukk off! | |

Posted: 11/11/2009 5:54:07 AM | What about the British punk scene. Black Flag came from the US and played in London with Honey Bane of Violence Grows, and Girl on the Run (Crass Label) fame.
Henry Rollins was a fan of HB and wrote about her in his first Autobiography. | |

Fugazi is hard for me to listen to. The rhythm section turns on a dime, really impressive, but the vocals are SOoooo awful. | |

Posted: 11/12/2009 11:03:30 AM | | Yeah...Despite being from the states, I really dug a lot of the old UK bands, especially the Oi! stuff... ( 4-Skins, Blitz, The Business, etc.). Anti-Nowhere League was lotsa fun too. ( I heard they're still around ) | |

Posted: 11/13/2009 1:17:45 PM | | I was born in HARDCORE 81, but I never really got into punk rock until 94 when Green Day and the Offspring first got popular. I love the older punk rock from the late70s and 80s like D.O.A., Bad Brains, Operation Ivy, Bad Religion, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys and all of the other bands featured on the punk rock documentary AMERICAN HARDCORE. I love the sound of 80s punk!! The new stuff from Bad Religion is awesome! But just the "Sound" is way too clean and clear to be "punk rock" HAHAHA. Now that punk rock is gaining popularity, the bands are able to put more money into recordings. I actually prefer the sound of the earlier punk rock by all of those bands I mentioned!! | |

Posted: 11/15/2009 8:36:20 PM | | I've only recently begun getting into punk, but the 80's punk and punk-related bands I'm liking the most so far are the Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Big Black, Rapeman, Butthole Surfers, and Black Flag. | |
