Dude you don't even have to see them live to know they're **** now. Just look at that awful excuse for an album Project 1950.

Very True, they lost it completly after Famous Monsters....

I voted Henry Rollins, but thats because you guys left Tim Armstrong off the list.

He wasn't left out.

This poll is purely when punk actually meant something.

You did leave out Greg Graffin, though.

No, because "Punk is dead". If we were going to include modern frontmen, (who are equally valid), we'd have to include not only Greg Graffin, but Tim Mcilrath (Rise Against), Chris Hannah (Propagandhi), Zoli Teglas (Ignite) and maybe Justin Sane (Anti-flag). It's limited to 80s punk rock.

You do know Bad Religion has been around since 1980, right?

Yeah, but they're still just as relevant as any band formed in 07.
