Some would probably argue a centralized test would be anti-punk.

I'm of the mind set that people should like whatever they want, and classify it in the most convenient terms. The debate of if a band is punk or not is dumb. Who cares as long as you like their music.

I'll stick my neck out and say those who are most vocal in the punk/not punk argument are those who understand the history of the genre the least. It's a genre made as an all inclusive movement of ideas and rants that grew into a fashion statement of torn shirts and safety pins.

Most of my experience with ordered rankings like that horrible to say the very least (see Rolling Stone's list of 100 albums of the decade), but at least this list doesn't just skim the most popular albums. Punk is one of those genres that's so flooded with bands that it's nearly impossible to find everything you like. Good stuff unfortunately gets buried under others and finding a record store with a varied punk library is rare these days.

The last time I looked at a Rolling Stone top 100 list they were using "Greatest Hits" records...ugh...

I checked the list and can't find the crust. No Amebix, Nausea or Tragedy? That's wrong.

Patti Smith and the Buzz****s should be way higher

Vancouver · 02-14-2010, 12:32 PM

^^ ya I DO NOT get the Buzz****s rating.

storymilo · 02-14-2010, 01:07 PM

The Adverts probably should have been higher, and Less Than Jake was on there lulz.

This list is so stupid. Kid Dynamite at 50? **** meeee. My top 20 at least. I mean, some of the list makes sense but some of it is...bleh.

how the **** does Pennywise and Less Than Jake get in front of The Germs?
And having NOFX and The Dropkick Murphys beating Minutemen AND Husker Du is insane.

Are the Descendents actually not on there or did I miss them?

Misfits anyone? I think they deserve #1.
