Ah, damn it. I'm always forgetting that Fat Mike was in LA before he moved to SF (although he's apparently from Massachusetts?). I always associate NOFX with the Bay Area.

I dunno, a lot of those Fat Wreck bands from the late '90s (also known as the soundtrack to my highschool years) have a distinct NOFX flavor (Strung Out, pre-Today's Empires, Weakerthans-Propagandhi, Guttermouth, early-Big Wig, Pulley, Hi Standard, Frenzel Rhomb, the a fore-mentioned Lagwagon and Bracket, etc). That's not a bad thing, I loved them unconditionally at the time, but as I get a little older they don't do anything for me that NOFX doesn't do better.

Thanks, man, I will. I didn't even know about it. And, I still need to watch the Fat Wreck documentary.

I don't disagree with a single thing in your post. I fucking love TGR. A handfull of people can agree nearly 100% on a topic and still argue about it.

And when I said "irrelevant", I was both humorously overstating the truth and revealing my own biases. I just prefer what NOFX became (and their assorted followers) to what BR became (and their assorted followers like No Use For A Name and Good Riddance).

That's fair. I like a lot of NOFX stuff but I'm definitely a bigger BR fan and I'm super psyched for their new album on Friday.
Oh and definitely check out the NOFX audiobook, it's incredible.

Back to posting music. Saw these guys open for Propagandhi last fall, they put on a good show.

Ok a little on the softer side but anyone like Ten Foot Pole or Millencolin ? They both still tour which amazes me. Ten Foot Pole is playing in Denver next week and considered going. Used to like their style.

@muted, is that Greg Ginn? It's getting to the point where I don't even recognize some of the 80s icons.

little-known fact: Raymond Pettibon is his brother.

Millencolin is playing the Oriental September 11. They are a good show.

Oriental theatre is bringing good acts. Saw Peter Murphy and David J in February. Seeing Bouncing Souls Friday night.

Went to see Off With Their Heads and Iron Chic at the Analog in Portland during a stopover on our honeymoon. Unbeknownst to us, RVIVR opened and blew the other 2 out of the water.

Been on a bouncing souls kick recently. According to the googles, they're playing Denver tonight and tomorrow. This is one of those times where I regret moving out of the front range to a place with zero music scene.

Only thing good about going into Denver is the music scene and major league sports if that is your thing. The ethnic food was good but personally Aurora is best for that. Any other good eatery or brewery is filled to capacity with hipsters or whatever your standard white bread dipshit is called these days.

I think you mean in a few weeks, May 29 at Streets of London. I've never really listened to Ten Foot Pole but I'd be game to go, I need some live music.
One of the openers, The New Narrative, is a local band and pretty good. They pulled all their old demos off Spotify and Bandcamp because they're about to release an actual album.

It is as if Adrenelated is my little brother and stole my record collection. Nothing wrong with NOFX but then never really did it for me. But music is for listen to not talking about.

I grew up in the lilly white world of jamb bands and classic rock but punk it the sound track to my life. Social D, Fugazi (Minor Threat), Bad Religion, Operation Ivy (Rancid), Suicidal Tendencies, Sex Pistols...thats the shit coming out of the boom box in my room in high school while my parents sat down stair scared wondering what was wrong with me. 25+ years later and shit ain't changed.

My top 5 has to be

Nofx, Rancid, Op Ivy, Fugazi, Minor Threat

I’m not really sure of the order.

Today, my top five are definitely: Rancid, NOFX, Misfits, Vandals, Social D, and Dead Kennedys. Tomorrow, my top five will certainly be: Descendents, Social D, Dropkick, Op Ivy, and Sick of it All. The day after tomorrow, some mix of the above mentioned.

Holy shit. I didn't know that about William S. Burroughs.

Any Bad Brains fans in here? Cut my teeth with them in DC at 16 then in Richmond all through college.
We felt they were less punk than hardcore.

Saw them at The Howard theater in 2012, band was amazing, HR not so much.

Still rock them out, while skiing, on the minidisc player. yeah I said that.

Yup, that's pretty much how it looked down at the Pyramid in Richmond ca. 1985. A bunch of suburban punks from DC to Charlotte moshing and thrashing with a bunch of natty dread rastas drinking Bass ales during the slow songs.
Pay to Cum is the song.

Great video. Bad Brains were on the boom box at many skate sessions back in the day. Won't quite make my top 5 list though.

If I look at bands I still listen to on a regular basis I'd say The Clash, Husker Du, Replacements, Descendents, and the Buzzcocks.

Back in the 80's the list would have been Descendents, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, JFA, and Minor Threat.

Sex Pistols changed my life. Still remember the moment a buddy handed me the Never Mind cassette in 81. No idea how he got it but he didn't like it. Opened up a whole new world for me.

My first concert was Gary Numan with Nash the Slash. I listened to a fair amount of Jim Carroll Band in college early 80s. Ramones, Clash, RATM, Suicidal Tendencies, New York Dolls, DKs are all in my regular play list MP3 player. I listen to some of everything though, not just punk. RnB, hair metal, classic rock, even a little old school country and 90s rap gets some space on the hard drive.

Just found this song and have been absolutely cranking it on repeat the past few days!

Hail fred sonic and scott asheton!

GG: I am sure you know this, since, it seems our musical tastes are identical. But check out New Race. Super group featuring Radio Birdman members: (Younger, Tek, Masuak) Stooges: (Ron Asheton) MC5: (Dennis Thompson). Still kills!!!! Here is a vid of them doing a Destroy All Monsters song.
https://youtu.be/Rx9YFWqu8Z4

And another thing: Have you ever noticed that Fred Sonic Smith (was married to Patti Smith) looks a lot like David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap? Coincidence? I think not...

There's two great series of comps covering 60's pre-Birdmen garage and post Birdmen punk, "Before Birdmen Flew" and "Where Birdmen Flew". Australia had a lot​ of great bands.

Amen. And don’t forget “nuggets down under” 60’s punk artyfacts from OZ. 70-80’s and early 90s punk rock is the shit. Thats what you get when you make an island a prisoner colony for 100s of years

5:20 long?! In the Punk Music Is Good thread? What is this, "From the Cradle to the Grave"?

Almost 20 pages and no mention of The Dead Milkmen... for when you're stoned want your punk rock making fun of everything and anything, including itself. Tiny Town was our anthem for breaking out of our little logging town in western Maine.

Love “Dean’s Dream” and ”Bitchin’ Camaro” in particular

I've mentioned the DMM in every post I've made.

I'm sure I'm way behind the curve on this one, but I just watched a documentary on the Nest on youtube. Sorry if it's been shared before:

Punk/ska maybe, but this just came on the radio and I hadn't heard it in over 20 years soooo....

Loved the d.m.'s back in the day. Kept a t shirt in the vault for passing on to posterity.

Great custom vid for 'stuart' on youtube. love it.

Didn’t see it in the archives I looked through. But would be remiss if I didn’t recommend on one of my fav’s that continually comes back through the playlist (the child is becoming a fan as well in his punk rock discovery):

FYP/Toys that kill/Underground Railroad to Candyland

Same core migrating through...good stuff if ya ain’t herd

Anyone mention The Idles yet? Some crazy intense songs and lyrics from them, not standard punk by any means. That said, here's more of a 'classic' punk song from them. Just found out about these guys yesterday

https://youtu.be/dEe4i2osF5A

I kinda like this one better

https://youtu.be/VODKZxsRa_E

^^^ nice. I like that.
