Favorite Punk Songs

The picture of the band featuring the 'staches and Minimoog sucked me in. The music was great and well worth four minutes of my life.

Thanks for turning me on to a cool song, Ralph.

 

The Frantic Elevators - "Hunchback of Notre Dame"

 

Vintage '77 Gizmos.

 

Girls at our Best! - "Going Nowhere Fast"

 

Sounding like a pissed off J.Rotten backed by The Equals...great!

 

Bodies by the Sex Pistols
Goodbye Toulose[sp?] The Stranglers
Get a grip by The Stranglers
No one is innocent by Ronnie Biggs and the Pistols
Domino by The Cramps
Peaches by The Stranglers
Most tracks from Never Mind the Bollocks

 

Pretty much all of TRB's Power In The Darkness album.

Using punk to illustrate social oppression and fight for gay rights long before it became PC to do so.

 

This one is pretty cool!

 

There was a comp cd from a few years back called History Of The Units...Early Years that collects a bunch of similar sounding tunes. Out of print but available to hear on Spotify and very much worth the listen. If I recall correctly the album Digital Stimulation on 415 is not as raw.

 

The Victims ”Television Addict”:

 

Circle Jerks - Group Sex

Not just the song, but the entire album. It's only a little over 15 minutes. So, I want the whole album!

 

Didjits!

Pretty Vacant- Sex Pistols
I Wanna Be Loved By You- Heartbreakers

Cool thread!

In no particular order:

Don't Need It - Bad Brains
Sailin On - Bad Brains
Jaundiced Eye - NOFX
Soul Doubt - NOFX
Green Corn - NOFX
S&M Airlines - NOFX (at this point, I'll stop including NOFX...I could go on all day listing fav NOFX tracks...)
Straight Edge - Minor Threat
Myage - Descendents
I'm Not a Loser - Descendents
What's the Big Deal - Guttermouth
Disneyland - Guttermouth (one of my favs!!!)
Veggicide - Guttermouth

I'm actually surprised there's no love for Guttermouth here. Seems like they're a bit underappreciated.

 

Anyone looking for some new (old) favorites check out the Homework, Hyped to Death and Killed By Death compilation series. Oh so many great punk songs on them.

Like this kick ass tune.

 

Punk Rock, a subjective term at best.

i'll throw these in :

Ramones - I Remember You, I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement

The Damned - Neat Neat Neat, New Rose, Fan Club

Sex Pistols - Did You No Wrong, God Save the Queen, Submission, Satellite

Sham 69 - There's Gonna Be A Borstal Break-Out, If The Kids Are United

Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch E.P.

 

You know....I found this thread yesterday as I was trying sooooo hard to make a playlist on my old iPod titled 100 favorite Punk tunes...I honestly have been having a heck of a time whittling my list down. My first "100 Favorite Punk Tunes" attempt ended up being 231 songs so I tried again....And I knocked it down to 175 songs which I think is where it will stay
