Rank your favorite punk/ indy bands

Mister E · 07-30-2007, 02:14 PM

Looking for your top 5, this thread has a place in my heart because I left law school to go on the road with a punk band, my parents still remind me but my kid thinks it's cool....

My favorite Top 5:

1 The Velvet Underground (u may argue not punk but they started it all)
2 The Ramones
3 The Patti Smith Group (It was Fred Smith who built the stage @ CBGB's
he was married to Patti and in Television
with the great Tom Verlaine4 Nick Cave
5 The Raving Mojos

Special prize if you can name the Mojos lead singer!

I would have listed Pearl Jam as well, but I don't consider them punk.
Hard to say what they are. Just rock I guess. They are my all time favourite.

Do you recall a huge Madison Square Garden show for Dylan? Eddie and Stone got up and did a casual duet that was mind blowing!

I guess they were labelled grunge and came out of that brilliant era with Soundgarden, Nirvana, Hole, etc.

After Cobain died,

the Major Labels shifted gears and 'replaced' rock with a safer more socially acceptable and gentle art form.

I think this kids call in Rap but, hell I aint no kid and could be wrong.

I don't recall the show you mention, but I do have the DVD set from MSG which is really good.
I've seen PJ all three times they have come to Montreal. They really put on a great show too.

I'm not into punk... I do like some of the bands mentionned though... Especially TOOL, Stone Temple Pilots, Public Image Limited...

I prefer real hard rock/heavy metal...
