I've been wanting to do a countdown of the top hardcore/punk bands for some time so I thought what better place than music banter. (i was on here a years ago under a lost alias so I know the rules)

Why this thankless genre, other than growing up on the stuff, most hardcore bands never see the light of day, they work their guts outs to make the music they love and never see the payoff, and I don't think a decent list on the internet has been made yet.

My musical taste in music is flawed so I hope this becomes an interactive post where things eventually get revamped according to requests or suggestions. It's a personal list, so many bands are left off because I don't like them, or I simply forgot them, so please add away.

This thread is wide sweeping for the hardcore veins of punk so it includes punk rock. the gazillion genres with the word core attached to it (post hardcore, metalcore ect) crust, crossover thrash ,d beat, oi! and on and on ect.

The only genre I have left out is screamo because I haven't been able to get into it, and I therefore don't feel qualified to make suggestions.
So starting at 140....
