When they talk about niche or alternative interests like anime, punk music, metal music, or cult movies I get the feeling they pick things at random or "borrow" other peoples lists
Kyle Gall anyone considering those shits punk brings my faith in humanity down. they're called punk from some people for some reason, and i hate them for in a way ruining the name.
@@thebullymac4742 it's a mix of both,pop punk and punk rock, probably if you listen to "Jaded" you'll think that it's punk rock, nowadays they're more pop punk,but still punk :))
@@thebullymac4742 you don’t know punk. There’s always been poppy sounding punk bands like the dickies, Buzzcocks, ramones, dead milkmen, the Queers, screeching weasel, MTX, etc. Green Day was heavily influenced by the lookout records bands of the 90s like screeching weasel and the Queers
Damn Mojo you had me thinking that I had lost my mind. "Time Bomb" Rancid was 1995, not 1985. You made have to google it to verify that I was not NUTZ.
stevemaggot8 are you kidding? its actually very easy for one to say that the Misfits invented punk rock (although they didnt) if you told someone that who actually listens to the Misfits AND to punk rock in general, theres no way they would disagree.
Give someone a misfits shirt oh I love this bad "name one song " runs away. I'm saying every body who is true punk loves them ( like me) but but a bunch of sleeping with sirens type fans where about a hundred misfits shirts and have no idea who they are which pisses me off
punk rock is supposed to be about freedom of speech, do it yourself and do watever you want, but most "punks" comenting here go aginst its real meaning. Please people, punk is not only hardcore bands and shitty sound recordings. Bad Religion is melodic, Ramones is melodic and even have tons of songs about teenage love, Nofx is quite melodic, the clash has records completely out of what "punk sound" should be.. nobody complins about it.. with that I can't understand why put Green day on a list of punk stuff bothers you so much... they came from san francisco punk scene, grew and didn't change their sound when signed with a major label, and even made their havier album after a huge world success. You should stop whining, GD roots are punk even if their sound had branched
I always thought that "jesus of suburbia" defined punk rock more than basket case or any of other of Green Day's songs because it details the feelings of being an outsider like basket case does but also goes a step further. It told the story of a young "punk" and his transformation through stages of depression and insanity and then finally indifference. Idk, I just always have had a personal connection to that song and am very biased XD
If The Damned are not on the list it don't deserve looking anymore, not to mention the lurkers,the stranglers,stiff little fingers souixi & banchees, but they did get the No1 right! best ever single from the pistols, seen in camden as a retired punk,..ab fab , brilliant!

you are right guys, even patti smith, black flag, dead kennedys, the runaways, sham 69, bad brains, the germs, undertones, MC5 etc. are very important bands in the first punk rock scene, but i think that they deserve only an honorable mention compared to the others 10
New Rose or Love Song. Ever Fallen in Love. Kiss Me Deadly. Oh Bondage. Somethin' Better Change. But no, we get MTV corporate punk like Green Day instead.
Who does that song again? I don’t know a lot of punk, so humor me! 😊 I think Cool To Hate, The Kid’s Aren’t Alright, Self Esteem or All I Want by Offspring would be anthemic! LOVE Time Bomb and Ruby Soho! No 21st Century Digital Boy? Los Angeles? Sheena Is A Punk Rocker? You? Superman? Skatanic?
why is green day not punk but the ramones are? they both play fast paced songs with a couple of power chords about stuff that (mostly) isn't political. If you think about it, if the Ramones formed now, they would get called posers and shit. and if Green Day came out when the Ramones came out, they would be called punk legends.
I think most of the green day hate comes from their later stuff like ‘forever now’ and ‘nightlife’ Although I disagree that they should be hated, their first 10-14 years they were punk and should be recognised as such
One thing is to reinvent rock in 1974 by playing music that nobody cares about, while 3 people come to see you and the others think you're a freak and you continue, and another thing is to do something already done in the past .
Everyone needs to chill out with the whole 'Green Day isn't punk' debacle. Yes earlier bands were the initial punk pioneers, and the other bands coming out don't sound quite like them. Music, like everything, evolves, and if you prefer the earlier stuff, than that's awesome, but telling people that they aren't real fans because they like more recent releases - even 90's - isn't cool. And whether something is pop punk or punk rock, irrespective of Green Day, shouldn't matter. Punk is dying because everyone says that punk is dying, fans are putting barriers between other fans. It's almost like punk has a conformity these days, the exact opposite of what punk is meant to be.
Some better ones Sham 69 - Borstal Breakout Bow wow wow - C30 C60 C90 Pistols - God save the Queen Buzzcocks - Everybody's happy nowadays The Jam - In the city
Anders Wallin You never see Buzzcocks on these lists... they were fucking great and they were actually a "true" punk band that kickstarted the whole DIY independent recording revolution. But in a way, not making it on these lists is punk as fuck. Good call though on Buzzcocks. "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" is a killer song. I think personally, I would probably nominate "What Do I Get." for the anthem list.
I think Blitzkrieg bop is overrated. (dont get me wrong, i love The Ramones, its my favourite band, but there are better songs than blitzkrieg bop) also i think the studio version is a little bit boring but when i went to see marky ramone and they played Blitzkrieg Bop its definitively a better experience
Fuck this video, I'm gonna make my own version. 1. Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones 2. Holiday In The Sun - Sex Pistols 3. Basket Case - Green Day 4. American Psycho - Misfits 5. Amoeba - Adolescents 6. Holiday In Cambodia - Dead Kennedys 7. Knowledge - Operation Ivy 8. Die For Your Government - Anti Flag 9. Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya - Dropkick Murphys 10. Linoleum - NOFX
Fuck your list 10. Ain't gonna take it - suicidal tencedes 9. American waste - black flag 8. My dad suck - Descendents 7. Get a life - pennywise 6. Lazy - lagwagon 5. Tommrow she goes away - the romaones 4. Death of a nation - anti flag 3. That's life - agnostic front 2. Get drafted - dead kenndeys 1. Witch hunt - misfits Get the fuck out of here with your greenday
Sum 41 aren't as influential as the other bands on the list. I like them, but them and most other pop-punk acts of the early 2000's didn't leave as big a legacy.
Just my personal opinion here. I love the Green Day album 'Dookie', but Green Day is not Punk. Yes, you can tell they are, in part, influenced by punk. But they are still not Punk. To me it's like putting My Chemical Romance into a top 10 Goth bands list.
guys you need to realize that yeah not all of these are punk but even punk has subgenres. Pop-punk, Skate-punk, Surf-punk, Ska-punk, Hardcore-punk (borderline but still) etc
Oh come on, give me a break. My generation? Yeah maybe to the mods not the punks. No punk thought the who was good they were a total joke. MC5 and new York dolls helped change punk music not Pete Townshend and his big nose
@@thewhoman3182 fuck off then, the who are the people that inspired people to be the way they are now, without them, half of the songs u know now or that are even on this list wouldnt wven be a thing if they never existed
Chris Perrault to be a punk anthem a song has to be recognized my the (or a {I suppose}) punk community as a stand out among all other punk songs and cause said community(ies) to collectively get a boner when it's played. An anthem is: a rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group, body, or cause. Like Queen's We Are The Champions is an international sports community anthem played at sporting events big and small to get the punks in the crowd to stand up with the norms and quit picking their noses. If they played more John Cougar Concentration Camp, Gay For Johnny Depp or The Winona Riders songs then more punks would likely attend sporting events regularly. alrighty then, bye!
jomard benemile Yes, but out of ten acts, we only had two from the UK. The UK produced some truly awesome punk. I wouldn't even say the Pistols were the best of it, though they were good... so long as you ignore everything they did after 'Never Mind The Bollocks'.
YourFavoriteCommie I mean, other than starting the UK punk movement and having a legacy that still stands to this day, yeah total posers. Not like Greenday at all!
Agreed. I love Green Day, but Punk =/= Punk Rock. I would have replaced Basket Case with like ... I dunno, State of The Union by Rise Against, Self Esteem by Offspring or You by Bad Religion.
I totally agree with the number one. There is never ever going to be a more punk thing than the Pistols. Complain as much as you want about Green Day. This list is not about top bands but top songs and Basket Case is punk as it gets. Without Green Day and Offspring we had no ideea what punk is in the 90's. They brought it back and they did brilliant. The fact that they move to pop later it's a whole filthy different story.
"There is never ever going to be a more punk thing than the Pistols." Are you fucking kidding me. There will never be anything LESS punk than the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols is the whiniest most wannabe group of poseurs there is.
I was REALLY hesitant to click on this video fearing being greatly disappointed... But I think considering the source this is actually a fairly decent list.
What "the only band that matters" in 4th place? How'd that happen? And Social Distortion and Bad Religion should have made the list, with Ball & Chain for the former and Sorrow for the latter. But take your pick of songs from each band, and a case could probably be made for their place on this list.
a 90s skate punk band above Joe Strummer. it takes incompetence. I have nothing against pennywise but I much prefer the Clash, not only because they made history but because they have an unmistakable character
My Top 10 ;P #1. Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK #2. The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop #3. Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized #4. NOFX - Linoleum #5. Green Day - Basket Case #6. Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia #7. The Clash - Should I Stay Or Schould I Go #8. Black Flag - Rise Above #9. Bad Religion - Punk Rock Song #10. Offspring - All I Want Honorable Mention: Rancid - Time Bomb Bad Brains - I Against I blink-182 - Dammit Pennywise - Fuck Authority
I always thought of Suicidal Tendencies as thrash but still punk. Green day is definitely pop punk they could have been replaced with Circle Jerks Wild in the Streets or the Misfits
While it definitely one of their best, The Clash have much better anthems than London Calling. White Riot, Career Opportunities, I Fought the Law, etc.
Time's are NOT changing. Those bands are just NOT punk. Listen to Against Me! That band is a true modern punk band. If people don't know about punk they should just stop blabbing out their INCORRECT notions on what they THINK is punk.
Oh fuckwad, learn that Green Day is known for writing songs about fighting government control before your write a comment like that because last I checked, that's pretty fucking punk
Jessica Jane There are plenty of documentaries, and recent ones too, that have band members from bands like Bad Religion, Rancid, and NOFX that all classify Green Day as punk. Don't go all Gilman Street on us, disowning punk bands by your opinions left and right.
The Stranglers - Peaches Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK The Clash - London Calling or White Riot The Skids - Into the Valley Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden or This Wheels on Fire Sham 69 - Hersham Boys or Angels with Dirty Faces Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric The Damned - Smash it Up or Eloise The Undertones - Teenage Kicks, or Jimmy, Jimmy or My perfect Cousin X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage Up Yours or Germfree Adolscents Stiff Little Fingers - At the Edge
Everyone always forgets about The Cramps. Their music might not have necessarily been “punk”, but they were very pioneering as well in the punk scene. AS WELL AS THE STOOGES. THEY WERE THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL
You guys do know that the word Fuck is allowed on youtube, right? Oh and you forgot Agent Orange - Bloodstains, Bad Brains - Sailin' on, DRI -Thrashhard (how did you miss that), Descendants - Everything Sux, Fear - I Love Livin' in the City, (too much to name from GG Alin and the Jabbers), and if you consider the Misfits punk, then wtf. The Misfits literally is the most consistent band ever. They have sooooooo much good stuff. I might even go as far as saying that they have a better good/bad song ratio then any band ever (yes, that means the Ramones as well)
9:59 Bro Hymn is also used by the Ducks and the Angels for Goals and Home Runs respectively. It fits not only because the band is from Manhattan Beach which is only a half hour away from Anaheim, but also because of lines like "...Just remember the side you get to cheer on, you've got friends with you to the end" and "We can conquer anything together" displaying the community that exists in alot of sports fanbases where fans (sometimes) treat other fans like best friends or family (especially after big moments like the Minneapolis Miracle where fans who were mostly complete strangers were hugging each other as their team seemed to be destined to go to the Super Bowl).
You have Green Day, Rancid, Pennywise, and NOFX, but not FEAR, Bad Brains, Adverts, Germs, Stiff Little Fingers, The Ruts, or X Ray Spex? Minor Threat didn't even make it to the top 10? They started a whole movement with a 40 second song!
Totally from an "after Punk" perspective. Seems like they only grudgingly gave top spots to the Ramones ("Invented punk"--Robert Christgau) & the Sex Pistols. Aside from them & The Clash, all songs are from minor punk-era groups or later punk imitators. Where are The Damned, The Jam, The Buzzcocks, Wire, X?
I'd say misfits where more influenced by metal than punk. I still like them but I'd say you shouldn't put them on a punk anthems list. You could put them on a punk songs list but none of there work really influences the genre as a whole in my opinion.
1. Anarchy in the U.K. - Sex Pistols 2. Rise Above - Black Flag 3. Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones 4. London Calling - The Clash 5. Hybrid Moments - Misfits 6. Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys 7. I Against I - Bad Brains 8. Waiting Room - Fugazi 9. Something I Learned Today - Hüsker Dü 10. Ever Fallen in Love - The Buzzcocks Honorable Mentions to Ruby Soho by Rancid, California Uber Alles by Dead Kennedys, and Where Eagles Dare - Misfits
My List 1. Anarchy in the U.K.- The Sex Pistols 2. Should I Stay or Should I Go- The Clash 3. Sheena is a Punk Rocker- Ramones 4. Rise Above- Black Flag 5. Suburban Home- Descendants 6. Last Caress- Misfits 7. Holiday in Cambodia- Dead Kennedys 8. Sex Bomb- Flipper 9. American Jesus- Bad Religion 10. The Passenger- Iggy Pop

Screeching weasel and the Queers
The Clash have many punk songs better than London Calling.
no band of the 90s should be above the Clash

My favorite is White riot

Michael Desanta You hating the Ramones? You are taking trolling to the next level. I can't take you seriously.
I was expecting a SUM 41 song here as she said All Killer No Filler at the beginning :P
SUM 41 isn't punk they're a fucking shitty pop punk band! Fuck off you wanna be.
*****
It's not any worse than Green Day
Sum 41 aren't as influential as the other bands on the list. I like them, but them and most other pop-punk acts of the early 2000's didn't leave as big a legacy.
***** why the fuck would he be a wanabe for liking sum41?
no is real punk
My dad was so into this shit, I'm just like him now lol.
Just my personal opinion here. I love the Green Day album 'Dookie', but Green Day is not Punk. Yes, you can tell they are, in part, influenced by punk. But they are still not Punk. To me it's like putting My Chemical Romance into a top 10 Goth bands list.
I think Green day is punk rock, not punk
Beatriz Gaspar Why do you think you can divide punk by saying "punk rock, not punk"? and Green Day is pop punk by the way.
Who cares just listen. Green day is the shit MCR is the shit. Do we have to label every damned thing.
Not putting you or your comment down or anything btw.
Green Day was once punk. Their first two albums were the definition of punk.
where is the exploited
Tomek Gacek yes! I love the USA, but fuck the u/a is such a great song
sid vicious was innocent is iconic
Fuck them bastards
Exploited! Barmy Army!
I was eagerly awaiting for some Bad Religion song on the list... that's bummer!
yes! such a list is bullshit without bad religion!
I was waiting so eagerly for Do What You Want.
Yeah, tough to have a list without BR, but honestly I forgave pretty much all sins when they had Bro Hymn. Hard to complain after that.
was going to post this same thought
I want to conquer the world
generator
suffer
skyscraper
etc
I felt the same way with operation ivy. Atleast have Unity on here as an honorable mention damnit!
Pull my strings by Dead Kennedys should have been on this list. The lyrics are great
Don't miss these other great videos,
Top 10 Punk Bands (REDUX)
Top 10 Rock Anthems
Top 10 Blink-182 Songs
The History of the Ramones
Top 10 Misfits Songs please!
Time Bomb was released in 1995 not 1985
Where is All the Small Things and Self Esteem and how can Blitzkrieg Bop *NOT* be number one?
FUCK ALL THE SMALL THINGS! FUCK BLINK 182!
Fuck you I love Blink-182!
guys you need to realize that yeah not all of these are punk but even punk has subgenres. Pop-punk, Skate-punk, Surf-punk, Ska-punk, Hardcore-punk (borderline but still) etc
true
Punk shouldn't have sub-genres. that's just stupid, Punk is punk. then you have shitty emo music like green day
Jacob Hirst i dont care if they inspired green day the sex pistols sucked
I'd like to see you try and explain why Mario Chartouni
You also have to think of Glam punk. Mötley Crüe was the biggest
I thought Rise Against would have gotten at least an honorable mention for "Give It All". Also, surprised to see nothing from Nomeansno.
Rise Against is amazing.
Give It All is such an amazing song! I'm glad a few others think the same!
Good band, but I personally wouldn't put them on this list. An honorable mention... maybe.
I don't know, Rise against isn't super punk
It depends on what era of Rise Against you are listening to.
No mention of the song that started it all? My Generation!!!
Oh come on, give me a break. My generation? Yeah maybe to the mods not the punks. No punk thought the who was good they were a total joke. MC5 and new York dolls helped change punk music not Pete Townshend and his big nose
The Who are my second fav band, Baba o riley, My generation, Boris the spider and wont get fooled again are my fav by them
@@thewhoman3182 fuck off then, the who are the people that inspired people to be the way they are now, without them, half of the songs u know now or that are even on this list wouldnt wven be a thing if they never existed
21st century digital boy isn't on here?
I can't believe it...
In my eyes it's not real punk
In my eyes, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't punk.
I never said I didn't like it
Casper Howell If you have to name one of your songs "Punk rock song" you're trying to hard to be punk...
1.Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Search and destroy
2.Sexpistols - Anarchy in UK
3. The Clash - White Riot
4. The Ramones - Blitzkrieg bop
+predrag bugraski good ones
Mainstream
+Cameron Kosak mainstream doesn't mean they're not good. Personally don't like them myself, though.
Cameron Kosak
we're talking punk anthems though, you'd have to have popular songs by default, no?
Chris Perrault
to be a punk anthem a song has to be recognized my the (or a {I suppose}) punk community as a stand out among all other punk songs and cause said community(ies) to collectively get a boner when it's played.
An anthem is: a rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group, body, or cause.
Like Queen's We Are The Champions is an international sports community anthem played at sporting events big and small to get the punks in the crowd to stand up with the norms and quit picking their noses.
If they played more John Cougar Concentration Camp, Gay For Johnny Depp or The Winona Riders songs then more punks would likely attend sporting events regularly.
alrighty then, bye!
Green Day's early stuff might be punk, but intentional or not they killed punk.
Maybe because they're not punk?
+HenryDoheenie Insommniac was Green Days last good album...
A7XRYAN29 Nimrod and American Idiot are fabulous
If you think punk is dead go tell that to the thousands of us busting our asses off for this music
+A7XRYAN29 nostalgic bullshit
Top three in no particular order: Country Roads - Me First & The Gimmi’ Gimmis, The Brews - NOFX, and Tititwister by Diesel Boy
Some good choices, but severely lacking in Britishness.
number 1 was anarchy in the uk
jomard benemile Yes, but out of ten acts, we only had two from the UK. The UK produced some truly awesome punk. I wouldn't even say the Pistols were the best of it, though they were good... so long as you ignore everything they did after 'Never Mind The Bollocks'.
Yeah but that's the Sex Pistols, the biggest whiny ass wannabe poser punk band in history.
The Damned. New Rose, Neat Neat Neat, Smash it up. How these lists keep leaving them out baffles me!
YourFavoriteCommie I mean, other than starting the UK punk movement and having a legacy that still stands to this day, yeah total posers. Not like Greenday at all!
No bad religion? No offspring? No operation ivy? But you have institution at # 10? -claps-
Agreed. I love Green Day, but Punk =/= Punk Rock. I would have replaced Basket Case with like ... I dunno, State of The Union by Rise Against, Self Esteem by Offspring or You by Bad Religion.
Offspring's crap
Don't forget about My Chemical Romance!
Aren't they considered to be emo? They certainly don't sound punk. They're far more of a pop-rock band than anything else.
Agreed, Bad religion should've of
Been on this list.
Should be called "top ten entry level casual noob punk anthems"
lol
some of them
Pennywise is goated buddy be quiet
Idk why people are complaining about this being mainstream, the point is for them to be anthems, very recognizable songs not some underground shit
Punks not mainstream also they didn't even put popular music that's actually punk they fucking put green day, but not misfits
@@rogerburton9521 Not enough thumbs up for this post
I totally agree with the number one. There is never ever going to be a more punk thing than the Pistols.
Complain as much as you want about Green Day. This list is not about top bands but top songs and Basket Case is punk as it gets.
Without Green Day and Offspring we had no ideea what punk is in the 90's.
They brought it back and they did brilliant. The fact that they move to pop later it's a whole filthy different story.
+Gabi X Thank you
+Gabi X Bad Religion hit it big in the 90's... before both those bands and BR is actually a good band. :P
Gabi X I agree, except we would still have punk in the 90s with bad religion
Almost died when I saw Iggy Poo, lol
"There is never ever going to be a more punk thing than the Pistols."
Are you fucking kidding me. There will never be anything LESS punk than the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols is the whiniest most wannabe group of poseurs there is.
Why aren't the misfits on hear?!
What about fuck authority by pennywise
Hell yes
I was REALLY hesitant to click on this video fearing being greatly disappointed... But I think considering the source this is actually a fairly decent list.
Not really
Im happy NOFX made it in there
Even tho they didn’t play the best of songs for nofx
NOFX = RACISTS ..............
@@davidsilva563 wtf? How
time bomb, 1985??
So the compilers of this list have never heard of bands like.
Stiff Little Fingers, The UK Subs, The Damned, Sham 69, The Ruts... etc etc etc...
Draugh39 Or Doctor Feelgood, Roxy Music, The Rezillos, Telvision, The Voidoids, The Slits. I agree, a lot's been missed out
The Damned and Sham 69 are just must haves in any punk list! All this pop punk doesn't count to me.
+Gabriel Rutherford oh shit dude I apologize their also a punk rock band I thought you were talking about the song my bad man
The Buzzcocks are an odd omission
+punkoid76 although they moved on to New Wave they started off as a punk band.
What "the only band that matters" in 4th place? How'd that happen? And Social Distortion and Bad Religion should have made the list, with Ball & Chain for the former and Sorrow for the latter. But take your pick of songs from each band, and a case could probably be made for their place on this list.
a 90s skate punk band above Joe Strummer. it takes incompetence. I have nothing against pennywise but I much prefer the Clash, not only because they made history but because they have an unmistakable character
My Top 10 ;P
#1. Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK
#2. The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop
#3. Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized
#4. NOFX - Linoleum
#5. Green Day - Basket Case
#6. Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia
#7. The Clash - Should I Stay Or Schould I Go
#8. Black Flag - Rise Above
#9. Bad Religion - Punk Rock Song
#10. Offspring - All I Want
Honorable Mention:
Rancid - Time Bomb
Bad Brains - I Against I
blink-182 - Dammit
Pennywise - Fuck Authority
Blitz, Exploited, Casualties, Rancid, Pennywise, Ramones, Addicts, The Clash, Distillers, Stance Punks, Cherry Cokes Beer..
I looove The Distillers, but they were relatively new. And they’d prob include “City of Angels” anyway, when they had way better songs
I always thought of Suicidal Tendencies as thrash but still punk. Green day is definitely pop punk they could have been replaced with Circle Jerks Wild in the Streets or the Misfits
Finally someone with a brain
Green Day is punk. Listen to actual pop punk bands like Bowling For Soup or Hit the Lights, it's a lot different and lighter than Green Day.
Grizz Bell Green day is still pop punk
Alejandro Esparza Nope. Some of their newer albums are mostly pop punk, but Green Day is a Punk band.
Grizz Bell to me they will always be a pop group. Watch a video by The Daily guru on Greenday.
While it definitely one of their best, The Clash have much better anthems than London Calling. White Riot, Career Opportunities, I Fought the Law, etc.
Oh kids, learn abour *Punk* first before mentioning Offspring, Green day and bloody sum41, for fucks sake.
Have you ever heard early Offspring? Or Manic Subsidal? Their name before they became the Offspring. Most definitely punk.
Oh adults, grow the fuck up and realise times are a changin'...
Time's are NOT changing. Those bands are just NOT punk. Listen to Against Me! That band is a true modern punk band. If people don't know about punk they should just stop blabbing out their INCORRECT notions on what they THINK is punk.
Oh fuckwad, learn that Green Day is known for writing songs about fighting government control before your write a comment like that because last I checked, that's pretty fucking punk
Jessica Jane There are plenty of documentaries, and recent ones too, that have band members from bands like Bad Religion, Rancid, and NOFX that all classify Green Day as punk. Don't go all Gilman Street on us, disowning punk bands by your opinions left and right.
The Stranglers - Peaches
Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK
The Clash - London Calling or White Riot
The Skids - Into the Valley
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden or This Wheels on Fire
Sham 69 - Hersham Boys or Angels with Dirty Faces
Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric
The Damned - Smash it Up or Eloise
The Undertones - Teenage Kicks, or Jimmy, Jimmy or My perfect Cousin
X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage Up Yours or Germfree Adolscents
Stiff Little Fingers - At the Edge
bad religion pennywise nofx the misfits the descendance
rage against the machine
Lorna Cole rage against the machine are an odd one id say they are more metal than punk but have tendencies to switch between the two
Everyone always forgets about The Cramps. Their music might not have necessarily been “punk”, but they were very pioneering as well in the punk scene.
AS WELL AS THE STOOGES. THEY WERE THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL
So far as Black Flag is concerned my favorite is Nervous Breakdown.
Flogging Molly - "Drunken Lullabies" should have earned a spot
no bad relegion?
Nothing from the descendents first album?
WTF where is DISCHARGE ??
top ten strokes songs!
That needs to happen.
Kian Shamsk done
You guys do know that the word Fuck is allowed on youtube, right?
Oh and you forgot Agent Orange - Bloodstains, Bad Brains - Sailin' on, DRI -Thrashhard (how did you miss that), Descendants - Everything Sux, Fear - I Love Livin' in the City, (too much to name from GG Alin and the Jabbers), and if you consider the Misfits punk, then wtf. The Misfits literally is the most consistent band ever. They have sooooooo much good stuff. I might even go as far as saying that they have a better good/bad song ratio then any band ever (yes, that means the Ramones as well)
Why wouldn't you consider the misfits punk?
Carlos Irizarry because they are Shit
i also would put American jesus b bad religion on the list
9:59 Bro Hymn is also used by the Ducks and the Angels for Goals and Home Runs respectively. It fits not only because the band is from Manhattan Beach which is only a half hour away from Anaheim, but also because of lines like "...Just remember the side you get to cheer on, you've got friends with you to the end" and "We can conquer anything together" displaying the community that exists in alot of sports fanbases where fans (sometimes) treat other fans like best friends or family (especially after big moments like the Minneapolis Miracle where fans who were mostly complete strangers were hugging each other as their team seemed to be destined to go to the Super Bowl).
What does Watchmojo have against the Offspring?
Yeah they should have at least put Self Esteem in the honorable mentions because Smash is the most sold record released on a independent label ever.
Seriously. "All I want" could have easily been on this list
yep, the whole video i was all tense and thinking "don't you dare not include the offspring". epic fail
Smash
Who the hell are Offsprings or whatever they're called.
Agnostic Front - gotta go
Boysetsfire - rookie / after the Eulogy
Social Distortion - 1945
Black Flag - nervous breakdown
Crisis - holocaust
Best mainstream punk list ever.... Smh
Stop being a hipster
+mr box sick burn bro
Matthew Lewis It's not a burn, complaining about people liking stuff that are "too mainstream" is pretty much the definition of a hipster
+mr box you're so right, I apologize for my ignorance
I agree tho... WHERE TF IS SOCIAL DISTORTION??
You have Green Day, Rancid, Pennywise, and NOFX, but not FEAR, Bad Brains, Adverts, Germs, Stiff Little Fingers, The Ruts, or X Ray Spex? Minor Threat didn't even make it to the top 10? They started a whole movement with a 40 second song!
Lexicon Devil? by the germs?
ruven samaraweera fucking love the germs

@@gregorio6045 haha yea. Glen danzig misfits
I'm glad you didnt mention green day, aka the La Croix of punk
Arthas Menethil Green Day is good....
I used to be an anarchist but they too many rules..........
What about Minority by Green Day? The rebellious lyrics combined by the powerful band performance will surely earn a place
No. All of insomniac is better
I loved the list, but what about X, The Descendents, Bad Religion or The Replacements?
Totally from an "after Punk" perspective. Seems like they only grudgingly gave top spots to the Ramones ("Invented punk"--Robert Christgau) & the Sex Pistols. Aside from them & The Clash, all songs are from minor punk-era groups or later punk imitators. Where are The Damned, The Jam, The Buzzcocks, Wire, X?
Oh man Holliday in Cambodia was my favorite song to play in Guitar Hero 3!
As I played with the Xbox controller, I couldn't pass the intro xD, I see you like A7x, foREVer bro ;)
its funny you say that, my fav was anarchy in the uk.
Sean Salyer I had a feeling someone would say that! Guitar Hero 3 had the best songs in the entire series!
same
London Calling is my personal No.1.
Holiday in Cambodia 😍
totally agree
I'm sure Penny Rimbaud is thrilled at Crass's honorable mention for this anthem recognition.
Misfits?.....MISFITS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I know right???? wheres the love for Glenn and Doyle????
I'd say misfits where more influenced by metal than punk. I still like them but I'd say you shouldn't put them on a punk anthems list. You could put them on a punk songs list but none of there work really influences the genre as a whole in my opinion.
Graves Msft, yeah where the fuck are they
Technically shock rock, but it's ok Ramons are rock.
joe dh rock not metal
1. Anarchy in the U.K. - Sex Pistols
2. Rise Above - Black Flag
3. Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones
4. London Calling - The Clash
5. Hybrid Moments - Misfits
6. Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys
7. I Against I - Bad Brains
8. Waiting Room - Fugazi
9. Something I Learned Today - Hüsker Dü
10. Ever Fallen in Love - The Buzzcocks
Honorable Mentions to Ruby Soho by Rancid, California Uber Alles by Dead Kennedys, and Where Eagles Dare - Misfits
I Think that Blitzkrieg Bop should be 2.
And what About I Wanna Be Your Dog and God Save The Queen?
Man, I was hoping to see Fuck Authority by Pennywise.
I love that song.
How the fuck is London calling not number 1!
I wouldn't say 'moron'; he didn't exactly petition for Green Day as #1
Come on it had to be a Sex pistols song, but I agree it should've been ten
you're kidding, right?
Not even a great song...White Riot would have been a better choice but I doubt it was ever heard in you tube land
Because it was the first crap Clash song
you and I have different definitions of "anthem". Half of these are songs, not really inspirational singalongs.
spot on with Bro Hymn though....
