The Greatest punk band of all time!

Why on earth has someone said the Velvet Underground? Have you ever listened to them? Yes they are a great band, but do you really call that punk?

Yes. They were a punk band.
So was T-Rex.
They were punk before punk was fashionable.
They invented the punk image, which became the punk movement, and 'punk rock' music.

Sorry mate T-Rex was not punk, he was 'glamrock'. I suppose the look Marc Bolan and T-Rex had was a bit similar to the New York dolls but no way was he 'Punk'. Sex Pistols the original and the best

Check again. Marc Bolan called HIMSELF a punk in 1973. Long before the Sex Pistols.

The Exploited
Black Flag
The Meatmen
GBH
Subhumans
Fear
Minor Threat
and many more

Im not the biggest fan of punk to be honest but I like the clash so I am going to say them :)

Mate, they aren't a punk band. How are songs like 'Who Loves the Sun', 'New Age', 'Heroin', 'Pale Blue Eyes' etc. punk songs? Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever herd.

Social D are awsome, same goes to Bad Religion

Yeh man Social D are awesome.

Mike Ness got mad fat
