PUNK Music Draft - Now Ongoing post awesome punk songs thread (1 Viewer)

rockaction said:
I think it's twenty if you want it to be, drop out if you want after fifteen. That's how I understood it.  

I'm goin' twenty, and like Acer, it still won't be enough.

This is what I initially said. Basically after the end of next week, I'll be shifting my focus to end of year draft and lists/countdown.

I think he's out of commission until after Black Friday, bud. He said he was swamped and forgot he was in that position. But who knows?  Maybe he will be able to.

I'm checking in here, I'll make up my picks. Looks like Google Doc is up to date, what else needs done? I can make a run at Spotify.

 
So, only a few people have made their round 14 and 15 picks, should be give till end of day tomorrow to get to the end of 15? I assume many people are off tomorrow as well...

I'm up for drafting, just thought you didn't want to do it. I can go ahead and pick.

Well, it looks like a couple people made their picks, so I think just saying get to end of round 15 anytime before end of tomorrow makes sense. Then people who want to drop out at 15 can, and then the rest can decide whether to 2 a days next week and go 25 rounds, or end mid-week, one per day, etc...

 
I'm way behind. I think these are my 11/12 turn picks.

It's Thanksgiving night. I'm really thankful for my 2 incredible children and my amazing, beautiful wife. And rock and roll. Specifically punk rock.

However, I'm going to deviate a bit. This first one was already mentioned by someone as a pick they were going to make but for some reason they felt it didn't fit into the parameters of the draft. #### that. Apologies to whomever first mentioned it, but I'm drafting this one. The greatest "pre-punk" punk tune ever.

MC5- Kick Out The Jams

Lemmy Kilmister was the living embodiment of a rock star. He had swagger, attitude, talent and drive (and was a beloved, drug-addled miscreant). He was one of my 2-3 favorite musicians ever. I shed tears when he passed. I challenge any true punk/hardcore fan to dive into Motorhead's catalogue and not appreciate it. I bought this album when it was released in 1991. I heard and loved this song years prior to discovering punk rock. Lemmy wrote a song about his close friends in a punk band. And the quintessential metal band recorded a punk song about one of the greatest punk bands ever.

Motorhead- RAMONES

Now just a bonus tune not meant for the draft or playlist, but I ####ing love this song.

Spent a summer in Germany during high school for an exchange program  We took the train to Hamburg.  There were flyers all over town that these guys were playing and Jens, my host, was way into them so we bought tickets, much to the dismay of his parents.  These guys ####### rocked and i’ve been a fan ever since, even though nobody here knows much about them.  One of the coolest and most memorable shows I’ve ever been to.  Still have a couple CDs I bought after the show.

The MC5 might crack my top ten favorite bands of all-time for that simple recording of them live. 

The late sixties/early seventies in Detroit/Michigan must have ruled.  Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa.

That was my dad’s scene. He hung out their house on Hill Street in Ann Arbor several times although he always said he loved to drink and smoke pot but those guys were just animals when it came to drugs/alcohol.

That was me with the MC5 comment but it wasn't that I didn't think they fit.  Love em. When we started this I thought we had to fill each category first and they just missed the 70's cut off and there was no 60's category.  Not very punk rock of me.  Oh Well.  Great picks.

 
Herb said:
Yup. My favorite Motorhead album. Pure greatness front to back.

Yep. Pure awesomeness. Owned it the day of its release, basically, thanks to the local (thirty minutes away) record store, Music Outlet of Enfield, CT. No Voices In The Sky.

That's cool. Your Dad sounds like a cool guy, anyway.

Going along with my pick of Millencolin, ho many bands from outside North America and UK have been picked so far? Are there lots of punk bands from other countries? I can’t think of many.

One of my favorite bands of all time. Travoltas for the Netherlands. 

https://youtu.be/o_m1NbNutow

Dos Minutos from Argentina 

https://youtu.be/vPqFfl68K-U

Also Netherlands. The Yum Yums

https://youtu.be/BkRkzN9vLgU

There was an Australian band on some Fat comps that was hit or miss for me. 

Mexico. Saw these guys a bunch in high school since we never got any shows at all in Puerto Rico. Not straight punk. Some Ska and Mexican pop mixed in. Cafe Tacuba

https://youtu.be/kIr8hsVTCzg

Oh ####! Mexico! These are friends of mine from Tijuana. Awesome dudes that can party with the best of them (me  :bowtie: ) DMFK. Also fantastic live and are hitting the road pretty hard these days. Check them out in a city near you.

Yeah, I can remember MRR clear as a bell. Cometbus was another that was big in the nineties. Flipside is another early zine that comes to mind, except that's Los Angeles. Actually Flipside still exists on the internet and can be a valuable resource.

I'm bummed I got rid of all my MRRs, but I still have every Cometbus. 

 
Here's my proto pick.  I guess right around 1965, the Beatles had exploded and US garage rock started to break out of the instrumental and Woolly Bully ####, and  break off its own little piece of the rock and roll game.  Anyway, I'm thankful to these Detroit sisters Suzi and Patti Quattro for taking time out of their busy high school schedules to INVENT PUNK ROCK

I never read Cometbus, actually. Just remember it being popular in certain circles. Aaron Cometbus, right?

It's not very good, but it gave me enough to always buy and read it hoping the good parts would take over more. And really probably I just wanted to live punk vicariously through someone since I never really ran with a punk group even though I consider punk to be my biggest form of identity.

If The Bouncing Souls are the second most fun band ive seen, these guys are the first. I have seen them so many times, Ive lost track. Definitely double figures. I'm the most straight edge dude in here but I don't care, ill hang with these guys any day. Saw them while taking a cruise around NYC on The Harbour lights boat. Those boat shows are fun.

No real fun stories to go along with seeing these guys. Saw them a bunch in their prime years. The show Im taking was them opening up for H2O at their 5 year anniversary show at The Continental, which is around the corner from Coney Island High.

Greatest song by greatest existing band.  The Red Dons were formed out of the Observers in the aughts, and continue to be a punk force. I saw them at the Middle East in Boston, doing a matinee, opening for other bands, but they were the clear closers. These guys truly do it because they love it. They're not big at all, just the best.

So if you see me tonight
Well I’d hope you’d pass me by
‘Cause if saw me tonight
You’d know I’m not alright
And I miss you tonight

I could pick numerous songs from this band, and they'd all fit this draft. Yuppie Hip Hop Ad is one of the greatest songs I've personally ever heard. This comes from one of the best surf/punk bands I've  -- also -- ever heard, with biting lyrics. I chose this one for the Valvano beginning. 

Underground Railroad To Candyland - Jimmy V (2011)

Now I'm done being so afraid/And now I'm done of being so ashamed
