[mitchyboy]

I can,t believe My Way by the Sex Pistols has,nt been mentioned.

 

[julianwisbey]

LOL @ MY EXPRESSION

 

[Matt H]

Bordering on hardcore but I don't caresss

Can't be bothered naming songs but IMO Against Me!, DBS and of course older stuff from the likes of the clash is worth mentioning

 

[NCR600]

Yes, with 'less talk' nipping at it's heels. 'Against the grain' is 2x the album of stranger than fiction, mind
Propaghandi played to about 200 people in Melb (Richmond?) in the mid 90's (94-95?) on the back of 'how to clean'.....STILL my fave gig of all time, and I saw a shitload of great bands back then....

Propaghandi are an amazing act. Saw them on the "Less Talk" tour and they were fantastic.
Guitarist got nude 5 minutes in, and spent most of the remaining time with a 500ml water bottle duct taped to the end of something no normal person would have thought of.

Then the nude stage diving started.

My favourite gig of all time too.

 

[DJninja]

Rancid-Fall back down
Pennywise-Bro Hym
Refused-New noise
Bad Religion-Social suicide
Ramones-Sheena is a Punk Rocker

Mid gig, a couple of skinheads turned to and started pushing people around. Jord asked who in the crowd supported Pauline Hanson, the skinheads started to cheer, so Jord yelled at them to get the fuck out....fuck the went quiet and slinked off

Without going back and referring to the CD/MP3 collection, a top 5 might look as follows:
Guns of Brixton - The Clash
ASIO - The Disables
Holidays in the sun - Sex Pistols
One in a million - Bodyjar
Come Out and Play - Offspring

Other notable contenders:
LMA - The Mark Of Cain (not sure of punk status of TMOC, maybe more hardcore)
Kick Him When He's Down - Offspring
Barroom Hero - Dropkick Murphys

[roasted]

Anti Nowhere League are great live. bummed I left the UK before Steve Ignorants performance of Feeding of the 5000 too, looked incredible. Steve + two other members of crass, Conflict, Zounds, Restarts and a couple of others too.

Have no idea about top 5 albums, will have to look at my records when i get back.

Last Caress -The Misfits
The Brews - NoFX (I would say Linoleum but The brews is a better anthem)
Lockdown - Guttermouth
Holiday in cambodia - Dead Kennedy's
Bad Religion -Along the way

I can,t believe My Way by the Sex Pistols has,nt been mentioned.

Because it's a cover of a Frank Sinatra song by a talentless prick.

I second the motion.

*My bad for wrongly attributing the piece of dross to Vicious when the brickbats should have gone to Rotten. Apologies.

They really should have stuck to anti establishment rant songs. At best the Pistols version of My Way was a piss-take but it certainly wasn't a brilliant piece of anything.

 

[FR Drew]

Actually, on the topic of covering Sinatra and totally off topic, Robbie Williams and Michael Buble (sp?) are sooooo not Sinatra that it's just not funny. Sinatra has more vocal style and timing in his left index finger than the two of them put together. Find a copy of "Songs for Swinging Lovers" by Sinatra and compare with "Sing when you're winning" and whatever the Buble thing was. Actually, don't bother trying to compare, you're wasting your time.

Anyhow, back to punk...
