And a Ska band is when the punks were too nice to kick out the high school band geek friends

Then there's Pop Punk, which kinda takes the singer & makes sure he can hold a note & harmony. But everything else remains the same.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Tommy Ramone agrees.
thatwoodguy
Hüsker Dü had 3 great artists.
AerialAceAttack
I adore black veil brides. One of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. But this is them. Their drummer is the actual best.
pgaulrapp
Worth pointing out that Kurt Cobain wanted to fire Dave Grohl several times.
zHurk777
X has had? a pretty good guitarist. I guess X is punk?
NatesSauceLab
Tool. Tool has the greatest drummer to ever exist.
slidewhistlesymphony
Tell Henry Rollins this. O.o
chapterhawk101
Henry Rollins is awesome. Love all the stuff he's done. He is however, not a great singer.
bourbonandbaddecisions
And the fans will fall in love with the guy with the mic and he will go on to fuck it up for everyone.
thomasbornemann626
Not so with X.
Metalsmith21
I think Henry Rollins would agree with this.
swattyKnotts
So Greg Ginn is just ok? And which bass player was amazing?
Metalsmith21
Who
orangeyougladididntsaypoop
Cant think of one punk band with this makeup
ezuroski
capefling
I see you, but your point is flawed. I feel this kinda represents a couple of punk bands, but not the majority.

blink 182 is in this picture and travis barker likes it
MosquitoHawker
*laughs in Henry Rollins*
LobotomyJones
Bassist Sid Vicious was well below average.
MurasakiArt55
WHARE ARE YOOOOOOU AND IM SO SOOOOOWRY
BrianDWrecker
Wooooah careful there, punks have never formally acknowledged blink 182. Cheshire Cat begs to differ tho. Travis Barker is definitely great.
sinskittles
Sometimes when listening to a Blink 182 song I tune it all out except for Travis's drumming. He's not just good, but an artist on drums.
Goonwolf
Frenzal Rhomb ?

Isn't Rise Against a punk band? The most notable thing about them is the singer.
C110PR
Drums for Rise Against are pretty good amd Tim is an outlier in punk for having such a great voice.
icycoolbluewater
Their drummer has a degree in jazz performance from CU. Not an easy thing to accomplish.
fowlersleftfoot
Always thought of them as more of a post hardcore band. But dunno.
ButtPlunger69
Naw their song structures are not punk, they have some punk influence but are more like alternative rock
zeacorzeppelin10
The Germs had no idea how to play when they started.
nicky512
Or when the ended.
zeacorzeppelin10
Their only album Germicide is pretty good. Then the lead singer died of drugs and they were gone.
nicky512
Yeah, just jokes. I love the Germs. I loved them on The Decline of Western Civilization, too. Super influential band.
zeacorzeppelin10
I have the whole series of films, great films about the music industry and society at the time.
bikergeek6249
Technically, the Sex Pistols were a "boy band".
transference
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
squintish
IKR!? I thought Malcom McClaren was an ass for saying he created them but he literally did.
HumanFromPlanetEarth
TheMetalAndTheFunk
You, always with the cool pics. Another winner
StevesAPunk
Damn … time … doing time shit.
LAMovieDesign
Love this Nirvana portrait.
batttyroy
That is cool thx! Been a fan since the 80’s.
CargoManshark
Why would you attack me like this?
meagainstthem
How do you do? I don't think we've met. My name is Ian and I'm in Minor Threat.
drone6040
I had a dream that he was on a dating show. At least I think it was a dream. It's so real in my mind but also highly unlikely.

SciFiGuy2018
The Clash disagrees...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
They don't sound like they would have anything to disagree with.
fowlersleftfoot
Think whoever made this post was very much thinking punk started in the US in 1993
FredGarvinMaleProstitute
as do the Sex Pistols
LordElups
Iirc Sid Vicious couldn't even play bass, he was just given it and he learned on the job.
Monkitoucher
Was thinking he exact same thing.
StevesAPunk
Fat Mike would like to have words with you.
KTDD
Otherwise I'd agree, but El Hefe has always been an awesome guitarist. Not that Melvin isn't, but he's not El Hefe.
LookinFineLayinDimes
I would say fat Mike is probably pretty mediocre all around. Except the asshole. He's good at being an asshole.
Unix347
Nah man Fat Mike has mad chops, he's just super humble about them. But an asshole about most else hahaha
drone6040
He tried to sleep with my sister during the 95 warptour. Still sad she said no.
Unix347
Oddly enough I'm sure Fat Mike would whole heartedly agree
StevesAPunk
Yeah … you’re right. I just wasn’t quick with wit and it was all I had.
SiriHowDoIAdult
Was in a garage rock band when I was younger. We did well, bit this was our exact band except our singer was a chick who was pretty good.
ThomasThundersword
my favorite type of band.
LateNightBunnyParty
I was the bassist whose skills often got overlooked because "I think it's cool that you're a chick bassist." No, fucker. I'm a bassist.
NotACanadian
Ain't nothing quite like a punk band with a female lead and you get those vocals that sound like a pissed off cheetah
gunnexx
Guano Apes can confirm, she rocks
mobilekeptcrashing
X-Ray Spex
drakesyn
More hardcore than punk, but for that vocal concept, check out Blood Command. I'd suggest Cult Drugs, specifically.
Gayforbae
Like Heavens to Betsey?
curiousklaus
Distillers represent!
batttyroy
Brutus. From Belgium. She plays drums AND sings/screams! Amazing band. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8md5x9YCLQ4
JsonAson
Saw live. Drums sideways mid stage. Awesome.
batttyroy
Fuq yeah!
NotACanadian
Aw yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Read somewhere that a lot of drummers from prog bands started up in punk because they needed the work
steevefromthefuture
Except the Professor. His first band was RUSH. RIP. Wish I could have seen them in concert.
ThesePipesAreClean
This
swattyKnotts
There are a lot of prog bands?
HuruinaInu
Were. Once. Many moons ago.
SirSparblington
Because of the big bucks you make in punk?
HuruinaInu
Punk was popular, prog was seen as stuffy and 'mainstream', punk bands were getting gigs and prog bands weren't
muchLongerUsername
More market appeal than prog, anyway.
68people
Compared to jazz, which is where the best drummers want to be.
WalksTheSky
Can anyone recommend some good punk bands? I like Fever 333
ImBadAsh
The Lillingtons, Mustard Plug, The Queers, The Living End, Dear Landlord....
RebelWithoutApplause
Clowns, letlive (jason from fever333 former band), antagonist ad
Nonopicard
for newer stuff check out The Chats and Amyl and the sniffers.
fowlersleftfoot
People would have to agree on what punk is…
penisparty
X is pretty good. Their guitarist Billy Zoom is super talented and John Doe just rocks.
iusedtodream
I'm into chick punk. Jack Off Jill, Kitty, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Peaches.
GuRoo
Bikini Kill and Blondie
WalksTheSky
I love female-fronted bands. Thank you, I’ll check them out!
BeerIsProofThatGodLovesUsAndWantsUsToBeHappy
Check out Tsunami Bomb too.
