just wanted my two cents in

and Noefolk need to seriously be re-examined

Yeah you make a pretty good argument about Ramones. What will it be then?

Neofolk - I think you should suggest something.

I second what you say on Neofolk.
But I think Teenage Kicks is better than any Ramones song as much as I love them.

YouTube - Ramones - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
it has to be....(damn forgot just how much i love this band)

i just listened to that teenage kicks song and i agree...if it's not Ramones then it should be that :p

and for neofolk...
YouTube - Death in June fall apart
"to love is to lose and to lose is to die"

We should bother a mod and make a Sheena Is A Punk Rocker vs. Teenage Kicks poll.

what album is Teenage Kicks on?

It isn't on any album I have it's just a really big single. The Undertones first album is great but if it had Teenage kicks it would be five stars. It's John peel's favourite song you know?

Oh please, don't make me choose between Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and Teenage Kicks. Both are perfect examples for pop-punk and both bands are one of the earliest punk-rock bands. If I go by the influence The Ramones win, if I go by the more poppy sound, I kinda lean more towards The Undertones. I haven't listened to both of these bands in ages and I really should before the eventual voting.

But, I definitely second (or third) Death in June for Neofolk.
