^ hah! rancid will never have the vocal range or melody of voice achieved by fat mike. Rancid has a sound all its own, but the vocals always have the same "street wise gutterpunk" growl. They pull it off despite this and still sound pretty decent, but to be calling freeman/armstrong the best of the two is ludicrious.
the germs NOFX the misfits black flag minor threat the dead kennedys and the circle jerks make me happy as hell. im a happy guy but their rage makes me feel good so how about you what you feel about the punk rock music and what punk bands you like?????
Television's Marquee Moon is high on my most wanted albums list, along with some Misfits. I recently (can't belive/disappointed it took me this damn long) indulged in the Fugazi and have been very pleased. This is a big conceptual leap from my days of constant Phish, the effort has clearly been worthwhile. :D
Bad Religion
The Descendants
Swingin' Utters
Pennywise
The Unseen
The casualties
A Global Threat
Bouncing Souls (at least old bouncing souls)
Nofx
Choking Victim/Leftover Crack
The Refused
Time Again
Op. Ivy
Rancid
Bad Religion has to be considered one of the best punk bands ever.
Others that are big favorites of mine:
Against All Authority (finally got to see them live recently)
Choking Victim
NOFX
Lagwagon
Rancid
Youth of Today (sorry if you consider this more hardcore than punk)
F-Minus
