    I was really into punk music in high school, but not really as much now.

    The other day when I was cleaning I found my old Rancid albums and threw them on and reminisced.

    I know ill get flamed, but to me PUnk is about people who cant play their instruments. I do appreciate the aggression and attitude, but its mostly image.

    *throws up Metal Horns

    *ducks for flying bottles

    Haha, I can't argue too much with that. Though, it takes a lot more creativity to make a song good if you are limited in your musical capabilities like that :)

    Pennywise
    Strung Out
    Authority Zero
    Bad Religion

    Punk is some of the best music out there compared to the crap the radio plays. The songs actually have meaning in the lyrics.

    Please. Danzig is and always was a little *itch. Michael Graves blew him away on talent.

    He always thought he was bigger than the entire scene....and still does even after all these years. Refuses to do reunion shows or have anything to do with Jerry, Doyle, or Robo.

    3 pages in and only 4 of you have mentioned Dropkick Murphys. TSK. TSK.

    P.S. Punk is not just about the image. DKM has some pretty interesting instruments and melodies (Shipping Up To Boston, anyone?) and I don't think I could pick those guys out of a lineup. Have nearly all their records on vinyl but have only seen their faces once by chance when they were on Conan. You don't have to have to image to be a good punk band, they could be drag queens for all I know, they're still a punk band.

    DKM's have only been around since the mid 90's like '95 or '96 far I can remember. Most people are going to go back to the early days of punk rock or even Protopunk. Pioneer's like Paul Revere & The Raiders or The Stooges... a lot has to do with when people grew up. In the 70's I wasn't even 10 years old yet but knew of Iggy Pop from my brothers and sisters.

    What people like in punk rock is no different with rock and roll... My parents would talk about Bill Haley or Elvis. My brothers and sisters would talk about Aerosmith, Queen or Pink Floyd. The same for alternative... the Violent Femmes don't have the same fan base as Nirvana or The Killers...
