Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I love the cold, but some people may have commuting issues. It could get pretty icy out there. I would hate to see several weather related cancellations.

Well, since everyone is waiting with baited breath (I'm sure):<br /><br />1) Bad Religion<br />2) Social Distortion<br />3) Hooton 3 Car<br />4) Descendents/ALL<br />5) Leatherface<br />6) Avail<br /><br />All still active except for #3.

Posted By: <b>martin dalziel</b><p><br />Ah, my youth comes to life right before my eyes.<br /><br />Joy Division were definately punk. Got to see them in Manchester in 1978.Great show. Saw the Pistols a couple of times, Damned, Buzzcocks, Television, Rezillos, Jam, Clash, Adverts, Only Ones, The Saints and a ton of others.<br /><br />One of my drinking mates was Terry Hall, so when the Specials took of in Coventry we all went the Ska route.<br /><br />Great times. I sold off a bunch of my records a few years back - just like many cards, i wish i had them back.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>I love Social Distortion -- but for some reason they just don't seem punk to me. More like rockabilly mixed with blues with a touch of punk at best.

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>I saw Social D with Sonic Youth and Neil Young/Crazy Horse, and Neil Young was the most punk of the three.<br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Given, I haven't heard some of these bands, but the ones mentioned that are bands or artists for the ages are: Buffalo Springfield, Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, Gang of Four, CSNY, The Clash, The Pixies, Patty Smith, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, Sam and Dave. The others are mostly dust bin; I don't care if I never here them again. Bring it on:)

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>When cultures collide - This is what happens when you mix hippie music with punkers - the greatest cover song of all time. Although Husker Du's rendition of the theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore show is pretty good too.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NeqyCwAeT3I"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NeqyCwAeT3I" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>As I accidentally started this thread and as something of a hardcore punk advocate,<br />I'll say that my picks for the best hardcore albums are 1) 'Damaged' by Black Flag,<br /> 2) 'Complete Discography' by Minor Threat and 3) 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables' <br />by Dead Kennedys ... Damaged is in a league of its own within hardcore, and arguably <br />contains the most brutal, physical, controntational music ever recorded. As a British critic <br />once wrote, "Nothing you have experienced on the face of this earth will prepare you for this <br />sonic assault."<br /><br />And before people get the wrong picture idea about me, I also have season tickets to the Seattle<br />Symphony.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>This is the 112th post and not one person has named a little band called the Beatles. I heard they were pretty good. And if you want to talk about where the music all began, look no further. No Beatles...no Ramones!

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>I hope there is success and good company on Friday. <br /><br />And just to add one more Ramones note, Antiques Roadshow last night featured Ramones memorabilia, including a signed leather jacket of Dee Dee Ramone. Estimate? $10,000. <br /><br />Max
