That would be "pop" or "bubblegum" punk!:bgwp:

nfpgasmask...anything on SST records (Black Flag, replacements, Husker Du, Minutemen), The Germs, Dead Kennedy's, Ramones, Violent Femmes (great live!), The Gun Club, S.O.D., Intensified Chaos, Angst, Flipper, Angry Samoins, Sex Pistols, Free Beer, Vicious Circle, Butthole Surfers, Septic Death, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, ****S.A., DOA, Conflict, Nick Cave and the Badseeds, The Velvet Underground, Los Illegals, Buzzcocks, Exploited, The Stooges (Iggy Pop), Bad Brains, The Meat Puppets, Misfits, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Fear, The Plugz, Surf Punks, Youth Brigade, FU's, Goverment Issue, Hoodoo Gurus, The Blasters, Del Fuegos, Rank and File,...

And the list could go on and on. A lot of the bands I listened to only came out on compialations. "All quiet on the northern front" is a great comp album of Northern Cal. punkUnderground hits 2 is a great comp album and of course the soundtrack to "Repo Man" has some classic stuff.

Amen brother!!!! I want to curb people when they consider Green Day to be the punk revival (no offence CeCe.... we are old men, heh). The day 311 can hold a stick to Rollins (BF) and redo TV Party and not make me cringe and pull out my ear drums, I will bow to bubblegum punk, heh.

Modern punk, however, has had some bands that tasted the waters and did a decent job. Most of the better ones have female lead vocals even.

Walked into Starbucks last night and they were playing The Specials on their system. I totally forget the name of the tune since its been forever since I have heard it, but man, what memories that brought back. I pictured myself doing a drop-in on the halfpipe with my old Hosoi board, hahahaha..... *sigh*

Wow 311 (In my top 5) rocks and should not be considred punk one bit.....

Green Day brought attention to the pop-punk feild with Dookie - no doubt about that...

If I'm in the mood for:

Recent Rock- Nickelback, Goo Goo Dolls, Coldplay
New Age- Gandalf
Piano- Bruce Hornsby
Guitar- James Taylor, Eric Johnson
Lil' Known- Tommy Henriksen, Matt Nathanson, Martin Page, Sweet James
Country- Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney

But to quote Don McLean in American Pie "the day the music died" is, IMHO, anything written after 1990. I simply live with everything thereafter...
