Ah - indeed. Animal may be the greatest lyricist on the planet. Hilarious stuff !

Fuckin yeahhh! I love the punk shit. Freshney are highly influenced by it.
Everyone's pretty much mentioned all the good shit, I like all the different variations of punk, including...
NOFX
Bad Religion
Damned
Cock Sparrer
UK Subs
The Business
Varukers
Discharge
Crass
Anti Nowhere League
GBH
DRI
The Exploited
Misfits

I know alot of people aint into Oi... but I was bought up on that shit as a kid... Millwall FC and Oi! ...well from me Dad...

But yeah, me old manplayed for an Oi band called The Last Resort for years (now reformed with members of Anti-Nowhere League), Madball n Sick Of It All both cover one of his tunes each. Madball do 'Violence in Our Minds' and SOIA do 'Working Class Kids'.
He also had his own ska band back in the day which he has recently reformed too... 'Arthur Kay and The Originals'.
He hates the punk shit now, wants nothing to do with it.
Check it out though, if your into that sorta stuff that is...

Recently he's been doing folky acoustic solo stuff, recorded a couple of tunes with Lars Fredrikson in Margate a few years ago. Haha... not really a fan of Rancid myself though.

OH FUCK... POISON IDEA!!!
Feel The Darkness is one of my favorite albums of all time!

And it's all about NOFX Punk in Drublic, and Ribbed!

I like Greenday.

New Found Glory are better.

Best song ever,Just listen to it you will agree

Been on a Damned kick lately. "Machine Gun Etiquette" and "The Black Album" today. Great stuff.

Why has no-one mentioned Broken Bones??????

I would say mst of the posts here are ore hardcore bands, rather than punk.
I love 2nd wave UK punk (discharge, anti nowhere league, expolited, gbh, english dogs, demo era onslaught, attak, etc etc etc0
I also love some of the US hardcore punk, a lot of crust, and a lot of early 80s hardcore.

All thrash fans should dig a lot of this, as it is wher thrash came from just as much as NWOBHM.

Minor Threat, Adolescents, A Global Threat, Poison Idea, Aus-Rotten, Sham 69, Agnostic Front, Behind Enemy Lines, The Exploited, Send More Paramedics, Reagan Youth

Dead Kennedys, nuffsaid

Nice to see some real good bands listed. I love punk, more than metal
Some of my faves are:
HUSKER DU
TOXIC REASONS
MDC
BLACK FLAG
DEAD KENNEDYS
GBH
DISCHARGE
BROKEN BONES
CRASS
FLUX OF PINK INDIANS
CONFLICT
ICONS OF FILTH
ANTISECT
AMEBIX
RUDIMENTAY PENI
DEVIATED INSTINCT
UK SUBS
The list is endless.....

2 great bands i havnt seen mentioned yet are THE SUBHUMANS and CHAOS UK.

Chaos UK? I saw them live and it was the most boring thing ever, their set seemed to drag on for hours.

subhumans (Y)

Subhumans are indeed wicked and their new album is killer. Citizen Fish are goodness too, if a bit light. Jello Biafra has got a new album out, 'Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine - The Audacity of Hype'. Some of it's wicked, some of it a bit more throw away but on the whole worth it for Biafra fans.

Also, new Propaghandi is wicked. I know there quite hardcore but their last album is a monster with great lyrics and some wicked riffs (I think I spy a Mastodon [like a not shit bit from Mastodon - if they still exist] type influence in some of the riffery).
