Great 'punk rock' tunes
Discussion
Ahhh... a free afternoon and I can't quite lose my love for the Dead Kennedys.
There was a time when I thought they were just a bit too noisy. (silly me)
This has got to be one of the most measured and well implemented 'punk' songs of all time.
Dead Kennedys Holiday In Cambodia I just bloody love it.
Later we'll get onto the Ramones - the greatest pop band?
So, post up your favourite songs before I let rip with Alice Donut, Fugazi, Buthole Surfers, Scratch Acid, Rape Man, and maybe a bit of Big Black....

That was fantastic! Have never heard it before.The style is reminiscent of the Velvet Underground's 'The Gift' with added Jim Morrison darkness and Iggy Pop anger.
Brilliant!
For me it has to be....."Is she really going out with him?"

I saw that band live many many times, I just wish I could pop down to the local and see them again.I'm just hunting for some similar material that is worth posting. Be right back.

My favourite band when I was at school, took my first beating from a load of casuals after one of their gigs at Hitchin Youth Club at 16 years of age.

Great stuff.Have you heard of The Seers ? another band I used to see live more often than not.
Ok maybe not as 'classic' as others, but Alkaline Trio's cover of Exploding Boy by The Cure is up there for me

The Ramones were never a punk band,
They pre-date 'punk' even in the States by a year at least. 
I have to agree with V8mate with regard to New Rose.
Get a load of the man himself......
