I know that there are a few other people on here that like hardcore,etc..., punk. What are your favorite bands of that genre? I am not talking about Green Day or any of those cookie cutter 'pop-punk' bands so please do not mention them in this thread.

My all time favorites:

Misfits - I am talking about the Glenn Danzig era only. I have a purple fiend skull and the skeleton from Legacy Of Brutality tattooed on me so you can say that I am a big fan.

GBH - Colin has one of the best voices in punk and they are never afraid to be silly. Plus they were the first punk band I ever saw.

Exploited - A lot of people find them obnoxious but I like the fact that they have always sung about politics and have never backed down from that. 'Maggie' has got to be one of the best anti-politician songs ever written. HA! I have their skull tattoed on my shoulder. OI! OI! :-)

TSOL - They weren't afraid to change their sound even though their fans gave them a lot of crap for doing so. Those 'metal' albums put out under the TSOL name did not have anything to do with Jack Grisham so I ignore them. Jack,next to Jello, is one of the most intelligent people in punk. Jack let me sing all of Code Blue when I saw them live so he gets a huge thumbs up from me.

Dead Kennedys - They were one of the first punk bands I ever got into(88) and I missed seeing them by a year. *sobs* Brilliant band whose lyrics are STILL relevant today. Ignore all of that Dead Kennedys reunion crap going on. They are nothing without Jello. It's just like the Misfits without Glenn.

7 Seconds - Another band that I got into in high school. Walk Together,Rock Together was listened to every single skater back in the day and is a classic punk album. Their cover of 99 Red Balloons is da bomb. Their new album is very old school and just as good as their old stuff.

Subhumans - I love political punk and this band put out some of the best. The bass playing is phenominal and the lyrics intense.

Black Flag - I love every era of this band. Some purists deride the Rollins era but I think those albums are great. Loose Nut is the ultimate album to listen to if you have been dumped or fucked over by life. Some really awesome bass playing throughout.

I will probably come up with some more later.
