So, what's the worst popular punk band?

I leave the field open for nominations. We need 8-10. If we don't get that many by page three or two days, I'll just start the poll with the present nominations.

NSG Musical Hall of Shame!
Nickelback: Worst Alternative Band
Elvis Presley: Worst Band With Staying Power
The Entire Genre of Nu Metal: Worst Metal Genre
Limp Bizkit: Worst Nu Metal Band.

Someone told me Good Charlotte was punk. I was like no. But if so, then I despise them. Are they punk?

The word "punk" has been so abused and misused over the decades that almost anything could be argued to fit, provided that they can't play worth a damn.

Someone told me Good Charlotte was punk. I was like no. But if so, then I despise them. Are they punk?

Vaguely.

Vaguely.

It'll do.
*nominates Good Charlotte*

Good Charlotte has left any and all of its true musical origins.

They are nothing but pretenders anymore.

Not punk.

You do make a good point. It's probably not enough to be considered actual punk music.

You do make a good point. It's probably not enough to be considered actual punk music.

To be honest, the only band still around that I consider to be punk anymore is probably Greenday, and I sort of like them because I saw them a couple of years ago, and they were pretty good. I haven't listened to them in ages, but I don't dislike them enough to nominate them.

I stopped classifying them when they f'd over Chris Wilson, the drummer or whatever.

do you count idiot-punk like offspring and blink-182? or bloodhound gang for that, they've got to be the worst of that bunch.

Ugh, Greenday? I hope you're not talking American Idiot. Wayyy too many fangirls to be remotely punk...

American Idiot is a terrible album. Worst one I ever bought.

Some of their older stuff is good IMO. Like International Superhits.
And name one band that hasn't got "fangirls."

erm.....do Aiden count as punk? If so, I vote Aiden and their remarkably punchable frontman.

Greenday seems over-rated now.

Okay...this is harder then I thought.

How do these nominees look?


Sex Pistols
Dead Kennedys
The Clash
Circle Jerks
Bad Religion
Social Distortion
Black Flag
Rage Against the Machine
The Ramones
Banhammer (Joke option)

I tried to pick ones that are popular on NSG, rather then on the rest of the world (Whose taste in music, arguably, sucks.)

American Idiot is a terrible album. Worst one I ever bought.

Rancid?

YEah, their older stuff isn't bad, but American Idiot is horribly overrated, hence the fangirls comment. All bands have fangirls, but Greenday? Waaayyyy too many clueless fangirls. They just think the band memebers are hot.

...
Rage Against the Machine
...
!?!!
Do you just get an orgasm everytime you make Rage Against the Machine a poll option? Because making them Nu Metal was specious, but punk? That's just odd.
You should replace them with Anti-Flag, they're punk (I think) and at least to NSers are on record as liking them.

YEah, their older stuff isn't bad, but American Idiot is horribly overrated, hence the fangirls comment. All bands have fangirls, but Greenday? Waaayyyy too many clueless fangirls. They just think the band memebers are hot.

clueless and blind then

I'll nominate Skrewdriver for worst Punk band ever.

And Greed Day have nothing to do with Punk, and haven't had anything to do with Punk in a decade. Punk is most certainly still alive, but you can't be looking at major labels to find it.

clueless and blind then

Yeah, they're not really that hot at all...

Hmmm...I like most Punk, really. I guess I'd go with The Clash. Don't hate 'em or anything, just think they're a little bit bland in the music department.

Lost in the Supermarket is an awesome song, though.

The Ramones, the original punk band who started the whole cursed genre hahaha!

I'll nominate Skrewdriver for worst Punk band ever.
In Skrewdrivers defence, at least when they wore swastikas they meant it, unlike all the other 70's punk groups that goosestepped about just to be assholes.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought that punk had enough dragons involved to hold your attention.

or greenday, they suck too

Fall Out Boy are much, much worse for fangirls. Everytime FOB comes on somewhere, you get a group of 13 year old girls dancing like pricks to it, and you just have to despair for today's youth.

Gayday
Coming Out Boy
Good Charlette

(The last one doesn't even deserve to be mocked, they have earned a fate far worse in what ever afterlife awaits us all.)

In Skrewdrivers defence, at least when they wore swastikas they meant it, unlike all the other 70's punk groups that goosestepped about just to be assholes.

So? There was a point other than being racist shits when the other 70's punks did it. Skrewdriver was just a Nazi band, and that means that they are only good for punching bags.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought that punk had enough dragons involved to hold your attention.

I imagine that what you haven't thought of could fill several large books.

The Ramones, the original punk band who started the whole cursed genre hahaha!

Because The Stooges or New York Dolls never existed, right?

If by "point" you mean they wanted to piss people off and possible run over them with a tank, then you're correct.
I imagine that what you haven't thought of could fill several large books.
Considering the sheer volume of knowledge in the world, I shall take that comment as the compliment it was never intended to be.

Rancid?
Never been to a Rancid gig, have you? At least a quarter of the sodding crowd were fangirls. Mind you, Tim Armstrong is oddly attractive. Billie Joe Armstrong was nearly in Rancid. Armstrong asked him if he wanted to join in 1993 (around then, anyway), but he stuck with Green Day.

If by "point" you mean they wanted to piss people off and possible run over them with a tank, then you're correct.

Well, yes. But still, one has to acknowledge that merely wanting to piss people off beats the hell out of actually supporting Nazi ideals.

Considering the sheer volume of knowledge in the world, I shall take that comment as the compliment it was never intended to be.

I rather meant to imply that you were talking through your hat.

Because The Stooges or New York Dolls never existed, right?

Don't forget about The Who, or even the Sex Pistols, who started completely parallel to the Ramones, oddly enough.

That's what I find so fascinating about the whole thing. Both bands started at virtually the same time (the Pistols in 1972, though under a different name, played the same music --- the music for Seventeen and Did You No Wrong were written during this period; the Ramones started in 1973, just a bunch of high school friends starting a band, really), not having the slightest influence on each other in the process...

...Until 1978, when Johnny Ramone started taking cues from Steve Jones. He admitted this on the End Of The Century DVD, and you can hear it for yourself on their Road To Ruin album, which kicks ass. Basically, Jonesy inspired Johnny to play better, and he certainly did.


Sorry for the rant. As for the worst Punk band? As far as actual Punk Rock goes, I think the worst of the lot was Black Flag... And I like them quite a bit.

Because The Stooges or New York Dolls never existed, right?

I knew someone was going to come along and say something like that

yeah I guess youre right, though I could bring it up that theyre proto punk just like Sabbath and Zep are metal but not metal and it would be an argument without end with lots of tears and blood shed and so forth.

I never knew that, I was misinformed by the media. Thank you.

I never knew that, I was misinformed by the media. Thank you.

Reading through various books written by people who were actually there opens one's mind... Not to mention all of the interviews with said people, along with interviews of the band members themselves.

And yes, Malcolm McLaren was a ****, and he still is.

Okay, poll's up. I tried to avoid stuff like Green Day, because it might as well be the only freaking option on NSG.

I voted Bad Religion, just because I think of those they're the worst.

*awaits voters of The Clash and DK with a club*

Joe Strummer was the epitome of punk attitude. And they were a Mod band too.

Never been to a Rancid gig, have you? At least a quarter of the sodding crowd were fangirls.
Too true, too true...

But you can’t deny ...And Out Come The Wolves as being one of the greatest punk albums ever.

*awaits voters of The Clash and DK with a club*


It's true. The Dead Kennedys are one of the best bands ever. Of any genre.

It’s true. The Dead Kennedys are one of the best bands ever. Of any genre.
Damn straight.

I’ve many fond memories of pogo-ing around an old warehouse outside of my home town where a few of us used to hang out; going mental to Dead Kennedys, Oi Polloi, Black Flag, The Exploited......

Ahh the days.

I feel Plastic Surgery Disasters should be taught as an alternative theory to evolution and intelligent design.

For example, where one might typically explain the predecessors to the theory of evolution or the explaining the various theories of intelligent design, instead you get:

Whe-en-en-en wi-i-l-l you-u-u-u craaa-c-c-c-k-k
Whe-en-en-en wi-l-l-l you-u-u-u craaa-c-c-c-k-k
Whe-en-en-ne wi-l-l-l you
Open your eyes open your eyes open your eyes!

Open your eyes open your eyes open your eyes!
I like your thinking!

Yeah, a mandatory lesson taught by Jello Biafra? Sounds good to me.

Well, yes. But still, one has to acknowledge that merely wanting to piss people off beats the hell out of actually supporting Nazi ideals.
But the fact that they really believed that shit makes them all the more effective at pissing people (like you) off, and isn't that what it's all about?
I rather meant to imply that you were talking through your hat.
I was aware of what you had hoped to say, but I hope you are now aware of you did say.
*awaits voters of The Clash and DK with a club*
What? The Dead Kennedys just aren't that good, and they're one of the few groups on the poll that is even remotely close to popular.
I mean, Husker Du?

Ah, yes, the Clash was awesome.

Well, we can agree to disagree on the quality of DK, but what’s their popularity got to do with anything?

And, shockgasphorror, you haven’t heard of Hüsker Dü?

Husker Du Official Motto: You mess with us, you mess with the umalauts!

(I can't figure out how to make umalauts :()

Go to Project Playlist and search for them, listen to...The one that's labeled as "Games" but I'm fairly certain is not "Games" and "In A Free Land"

Husker Du was one of the very early hardcore bands.

EDIT: He meant that Husker Du wasn't popular.

Well, we can agree to disagree on the quality of DK, but what’s their popularity got to do with anything?
The thread title is "Popular Bands You Hate: Punk", which would imply that I my vote should be based on
a) Popularity,
b) Personal Dislike,
c) Actually Being Punk.
There's not a lot of bands that can fit all three criteria.
And, shockgasphorror, you haven’t heard of Hüsker Dü?
I've seen them mentioned a few times on NS, once talked with some guy at a party who loved them, and that is about the extent to which I've seen their name mentioned, which makes them marginally more popular than Joydrop.

Touché.

Once again, why the hell are Husker Du on the poll?

Last time I checked, very few of us here on NSG actually know who they are (myself and The Cat-Tribe being the foremost fans), and I've yet to meet anybody in person who has even heard of them.

Ugh, Greenday? I hope you're not talking American Idiot. Wayyy too many fangirls to be remotely punk...

I used to like a Green Day fangirl. I have really bad taste.

Really?

I’d say they’re fairly popular over here. That’s why I was so surprised at HNF’s comments.

Mind you I was born and bred on late 70s, early 80s hardcore, as were most of my friends.

I’d always assumed they were known about in the same sort of way as Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys or Black Flag...

Heh, you'd be surprised. Though their albums sold far more than all of those bands, and they toured relentlessly, people as a whole seem to have forgotten them. It's quite ironic, as in 1987, they were just about to break through as a megahit. They even played on the Joan Rivers Show (now Late Night with Conan O'Brien). They were even at fucking Pink Pop in 1987.

Seriously, I can ask random people about these bands, and two out of ten will know who the Dead Kennedys and Black Flag are. Four out of ten will know who Minor Threat are. None will know who, or what, Husker Du are. Believe me, I've asked plenty of people...

I used to like a Green Day fangirl. I have really bad taste.

It's okay Johnny, we all make mistakes sometimes ;) :p :fluffle:

Anyway, I know a Greenday fangirl... :headbang:

Those bands on the poll are all good.

And name one band that hasn't got "fangirls."

GG Allin and the Murder Junkies?

Those bands on the poll are all good.
Mmm. It’s the trickiest ‘Worst X Band’ thread so far.

All of the others, for me at least, have had a clear stand-out of shittyness.

I can't stand sex pistols myself it just seems like a band for little rude girls and this has always held true in experience

as such they get my vote, then again I'm best friends with a girl who had good Charlotte's front man say he loves her in concert so what awesome music skillz this endows me with is anyones guess :p

One involving shit, shit music.

thats sick, nobody should find musical molestation funny :mad: :p

thats sick, nobody should find musical molestation funny :mad: :p
But the haircuts!!!

I'll nominate Skrewdriver for worst Punk band ever.

Their first LP was a corker, and the 7"ers that followed it shortly afterwards weren't too shoddy either. After that it all went terribly wrong.

Last time I checked, very few of us here on NSG actually know who they are (myself and The Cat-Tribe being the foremost fans), and I've yet to meet anybody in person who has even heard of them.

If you actually went to a random gig or two you would meet plenty of people who are well acquainted with them.

None will know who, or what, Husker Du are. Believe me, I've asked plenty of people...

Just tell them they were the band the Placemats were singing about on Somethin' To Dü.


Then prepare yourself for the *blank stare*.

If you actually went to a random gig or two you would meet plenty of people who are well acquainted with them.

Probably so, but I'm in an area that's notorious for its lack of decent Rock music. Houston flat-out sucks in that respect. Yeah, we have Jazz and Blues bands, and ZZ Top were born here, but our Rock scene fucking sucks ass, and that's a fact.

So, I might meet a few people who know who they are, but that's still wishful thinking.

I used to like a Green Day fangirl. I have really bad taste.

Taste in music does not maketh the girl.

But if she likes Fallout Boy, at least never listen to music together. It's best to avoid actually arguing with someone who thinks Fallout Boy is better then Black Sabbath. Hasn't happened to me, but god forbid..

Probably so, but I'm in an area that's notorious for its lack of decent Rock music. Houston flat-out sucks in that respect.

It produced the Pain Teens, no? So it gets some kudos on that basis. Sure it doesn't rank with Austin, Texas, I'll give you that.

None of the bands on the poll are bad at all, but of all of them, I don't like Social Distortion personally, because their latest work isn't all that interesting.

Edit: And I have a e-club waiting for anyone voting for Bad Religion. They may be poppier than the other bands, but none of the others, except perhaps the Kennedys or the Pistols has better lyrics.

the Kennedys or the Pistols has better lyrics.

Maybe the pistols, definitely the Kennedys though. Bad Religion's make points, but the Kennedys are funny and make good points (California Uber Alles is hilarious, as is Holiday In Cambodia. Or maybe I just have a very dark sense of humor.)

I actually like the Pistols' better than the Kennedys'. Not only are the Pistols more subtle, they also make much more global points.

And the Pistols made a fucking mockery out of an entire country. Publicly.

Can you say the same about the other two?

Well, the Dead Kennedys do have "Stars and Stripes of Corruption"...

And Jello Biafra ran for president...

Both, sorta.

He ran for the mayorship of San Francisco, but he also tried to get the Green Party’s nomination for Presedential candidate in 2000.

There’s always room for Jello!


Oh, and I’m totally with you on Bad Religion; they’re a damn fine band. Excellent, meaningful lyrics coupled with some good old fashioned punk rock. And they’re one of the few punk bands with some decent guitar work.

Too true, too true...

But you can’t deny ...And Out Come The Wolves as being one of the greatest punk albums ever.
Oh yeah, ...AOCTW is awesome. Loved it when I went to see them.

It was a tough choice, but I chose the Sex Pistols, for only having one (studio) album.

Husker Du 1

Bant. That's one WAY too many.

I heard he wasn't actually trying, he was just trying to get people who had heard his music to check out the Greens.

Gooooold, H N Fiddlebottoms VIII, H N Fuffino

That's the list of people who voted for the Dead Kennedys. Do you notice anything suspicious about the voters?

That's the list of people who voted for the Dead Kennedys. Do you notice anything suspicious about the voters?
...no?

<.<

What I find suspicious is all the people voting against/for the Pistols. What's with the hate, guys?

This is a hard decision. The worst for sure is Good Charlotte, but I wouldn't call them punk and they're not on the poll. I don't really like the Dead Kennedy's, so I'll just go with that.

I heard he wasn’t actually trying, he was just trying to get people who had heard his music to check out the Greens.

Years of Malcolm McLaren’s PR?

Seriously though, I just don’t think they’re very good. I mean, Sid may have looked very nice’n’punk, but he couldn’t play for shit. And as our very own JB said, they have a lot less output than most of the bands on the list.

Fair nuff.

Personally, if you handed me a bunch of punk albums, Never Mind The Bollocks would be low on my list to play.

Ain’t subjective media great?

I prefer the Dead Kennedys and the Clash to the Sex Pistols, but I still like them.

I've been told the puppet is Ruufy's

Hey i love the Clash, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Sex Pistols...After all these years dispite the fact i love them i still dont think the Ramons are punk...i voted Circle Jerks, just cuz i dont care for them too much. I was so happy to look at the pole and Not see Green Day or Blink 182 or some crap like that...

And the Pistols made a fucking mockery out of an entire country. Publicly.

Can you say the same about the other two?

And that is why they can't be the worst punk band. I'll admit that not all of there stuff is the best music ive ever heard, but they got a whole country to HATE them. I love it!

And the gold part is, they weren't even trying. It was all thanks to Malcolm's absolutely abysmal PR that such a thing happened.

The man was a liar and a fucking thief. He was a liar because of the whole "I created the Sex Pistols" thing, and he was a thief because he swindled the band members for every fucking penny they earned, giving them an "allowance" of 45 pounds a week apiece.

Mind you, they sued his worthless ass for almost everything he had back in the 1980s, and the won the case very quickly.

Fair nuff.

Personally, if you handed me a bunch of punk albums, Never Mind The Bollocks would be low on my list to play.

Ain’t subjective media great?

That's why all of these "best" and "worst" lists are complete idiocy. The whole damn thing is subjective, and let's face it, even somebody has to like Terry and the Idiots.

That's why all of these "best" and "worst" lists are complete idiocy. The whole damn thing is subjective,

But isn't it interesting to see which band is subjectively the worst? And to see how your tastes compare to the rest of NSG's?

even somebody has to like Terry and the Idiots.
Well, the answer to that question really depends on whether Terry is allowed to vote or not.

That sounds really sarcastic, but I just felt the need to point out that liking someone who likes Green Day is not a sin.

Oh...wow...try not to imagine Fallout Boy playing "Heaven and Hell".

What about the Idiots?
As mentally handicapped persons, they would listen exclusively to Hipster metal.

Wait...

There was actually a serious band with mentally handicapped people in it? That's horrible!

Er, no. They were just poser dorks from the 70s scene. Pretty funny shit, really.

It's a shame, because as mentally handicapped posers, they would be able to play hipster metal, as well as listen to it.

It's not sarcastic.

It's okay Johnny, we all make mistakes sometimes ;) :p :fluffle:

Anyway, I know a Greenday fangirl... :headbang:

Yeah. Liking her cost me a year of life, and I only got neuroticity and stress. She was the girl in the Johnny needs helpage thread. As for the Green Day fangirl, it's ok. :fluffle:

It's not sarcastic.

Yeah. American Idiot is actually okay, but nowhere comparable to such rock classics as Black Sabbath. The Beatles are okay too, but their best is Helter Skelter.

All much more influential and better bands then those.

That's the truth if I ever heard it.

Whoa, Smunk voted for Husker Du? What the fuck?

Smunk, a word of advice... Without Husker Du, Green Day never would've come into existence. Listen to Grant Hart's songs, and then listen to early Green Day. The similarities are striking.

Though Hart's songs were a hundred times better, because the musicians performing them weren't shit.

Green Day is not a horrible band. However, it is by far an overrated band. Much like the Beatles.

No. Greed Day is a shitty, uncreative band that hasn't written an origional song in a decade. They are the epitome of the pop mindest.

I voted Husker Du. Just to piss off Pot :p
