---80s = IMO the punk rock scene was better on the American side, I find a lot more out of early hardcore bands than the mopey post punk the brits were dishing out. Overall I would call it a tie.---

The British second wave of Punk was just as good as the U.S versions but it is not as well known.

G.B.H, Discharge, Broken Bones, Amebix and Conflict are all excellent bands whom I actually prefer.
