i'm trying to get more exposed to good punk bands, and i hate the process of searching for bands and listening to each song if you know what i mean. i figure the best way to see what i like is to get a list from people familiar with the genre of songs that they like, so if you guys could do this for me.. make a list of 10 good punk songs and post them here. i plan on downloading them and seeing what i like best. try to make it a little diverse if possible? thanks guys!
Ok, here's a pretty diverse list of songs you probably haven't heard. They're pretty obscure, some of them, so I'll tell you where you can search for them if I know. "Revolt" - the Nymphs (myspace.com) "Garbadge Man" - Hole "Fun in Funeral" - the Objex (garageband.com) "Everything's Goin' On" - Dead Meadow (Youtube or Myspace) "Botus" - Pagoda (Youtube or myspace) "Over the Edge" - Wipers (youtube or myspace) "Catholic Block" - Sonic Youth (not sure) "Something against you" - Pixies "Hole of Deception" - Mr. Pissy (Contact the band's Last.fm account) "Get into Yours" - Mudhoney "Shove" - L7 "Nub" - Jesus Lizard "Secret Admirer" - Pissed Jeans "Mrs. Jones" Hole "Glow" Ednaswap
thanks a lot, man. i don't really know any good punk songs aside from bad religion, the sex pistols and black flag so i didn't bother. once i get more into the genre i'll put one up i downloaded a few songs by the melvins the other day and i'm loving them, i'll go check out some of those songs

By the way, congrats on getting into punk, it's some awesome music, just make sure you don't get suckered into the pop-Hot Topic-punk crap like Good Charlotte and shit like that... or you could get beat up by real punx like me ;-)

You don't have to worry about that... it took me a while but I eventually learned what real music is.

Exploited-Was It Me Misfits-Scream Vennaskond-Dostojevskilik Doris JMKE-Valentina Distillers-Young Crazed Peelings Murderdolls-Love At First Fright Those are great songs...
I suggest Gen X, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains and Operation Ivy for starters... Btw, am I the only one who doesn't like Ranic and Social Distortion??
I've never listened to either of them seriously, but Social Distortion didn't leave much of an impression on me from what I've heard
Social Distortion isn't punk. Alternative yes. And I don't think Mike Ness was ever thinking when he wore eyeliner.
