My friend's brother met GG before and he said talking him to was like talking to Beavis or Butthead.

Haha, only if Beavis and Butthead raped.

The closest Ive come to meeting GG Allin was meeting Seth Putnam.

This thread seems to contain alot of elitism, which is a shame really.

you hate them because they are mainstream. you hate them because they have soled millions of records. you hate them because they boast major label status. you hate them because American Idiot was grounbreaking. You just cant see real music. it has really became petty and sad at the hate of one band. and how the hell are they manufactured? there a band like any other band. ****. p.s there definetly not pop. ''manufactured anger'' makes no sense.

I would call them a pop band with punk influences. Also, lol at the people who have a go at Green Day cos its 'not teh reel punx' or whatever but then say that NeverMind The Bollocks was ground breaking.

The Sex Pistols were NOT anywhere near as important to music as a whole as you guys seem to think. There were bands before them doing the same thing and bands after them doing it too, most doing it better. 90s alternative owes alot to the Sex Pistols? Fat chance, it owes more to hardcore (which was basically an America movement which owed alot more to the CBGB bands than the Sex Pistols), Black Sabbath and 60s garage rock. Nirvana's biggest influence was stuff like the Meat Puppets, Black Sabbath, Melvins, Black Flag etc not the Sex Pistols and Oasis? give me a break, britpop, with the exception of the Manics (who owe more to the Clash and Guns and Roses than the Sex Pistols) was more about the Kinks, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones than the Sex Pistols. Metallica was also influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, as were most thrash bands and as far as punk goes they borrowed more from hardcore. The Sex Pistols didn't change the face of music at all, they made punk popular by saying the "fucking" on television.

I couldn't have put it any better myself.

Joey Ramone. Can't understand why Mike Ness( Social Distortion ) isn't there:yikes:

C'mon be serious this is a poll for the GREATEST punk frontman. Not list any old bunch of punks in the hope that one person might vote for them out of sympathy.

Mike Ness better than Strummer , Lydon , Biafra or Iggy Pop?

Leave it out.

I cant believe Johnny Rotten is beating Iggy. :(

neither...it seems a little bit sick

Someone should start a post-punk version....
although everyone will probably just vote for curtis
maybe expand to madchester as well

i'd vote mark e smith in a post punk version.
but curtis was awesome!

as for this poll it's ridiculous, it should be iggy pop in the lead, come on people!

i think there should be a revote between Johnny Rotten, Jello Biafra, Joe Strummer, and Iggy Pop.
