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

Was planning on just observing, but I'll hop in this if there is room.  The Blink-182 pick at 1.01 had me :lmao:  even though I really liked them in the 90s

the music drafts at least have veered far away from those judging days, where we were all trying to get the objective best songs.

lately have been pretty much drafting favorite songs, and getting to hear everybody else's in an ever expanding spotify playlist. and eephus taking bolivian esoterica.

ok. and the categores aren't round based? we just choose whatever, whenever? seems the 90s are going kind of quick....

 
Going through my lists now and

a) has a great workout with all this punk music 

b) if you don’t like 90s skater pop punk, you might not like my draft

so is this draft graded or something? is their scoring criteria, or what are the basic strategies here to draft well? pick songs before others would pick them? will be kind of funny if that is the case since a lot of punk is not mainstream. i am sure there will be some great picks not really recognized by all

I will be grading your draft so be very careful

 
I guess I'm gonna get my 1970s pick out of the way, as I feel like this category will dry up for me before the others will.  I know there's more genre-defining and "important" punkrock records that came out in the late 70s, but I still  listen to this one more than any of em. 

Wire - 12xU

 
Weird pick just like Ilov, who made a great pick, IMHO. 

Dancing French Liberals Of '48 - The Spaghetti Song. 

This has personal meaning. Mia Zapata was raped and killed after a Gits show. In her wake, the Dancing French Liberals Of '48 were formed. It was an incendiary album, Powerline, and spoke to her death and many other things. Just great all around. My nineties' pick, though if we go twenty, there will be way more nineties punk. I'm inarticulate right now, so feel free to hold me to editing.   

Buy a drink for me again/Another round until the end/Straight out the window, under the sink, we always spill our favorite drink

I have to agree. Blink 182 is Bonafide, but first round?

"Dammit"'s staccato rhythm and melancholy pop-spirit call to mind Chicago punks Screeching Weasel as much as they do the emotional fretting of the Descendents."

"Dammit" the "perfect punk song, everyone knows it, and it's probably being covered in someone's basement right now."

"one of the most iconic songs of the 90s – those three, unmistakable guitar chords, the two voices trading in verse (one sneering punk, the other, a throaty few octaves lower), and a soaring punk chorus."

 
Welcome to the people who joined, I'll update stuff in a bit, still willing to add more required categories if people gave good suggestions that there is some consensus for :shrug:

Dude, you don't need critics. Punk never needed critics. 

They're a great band. Not that I agree, frankly, but there's no need to justify. 

By the way, listening to DJ Shadow's Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt right now, but you need not justify yourself here.

might be too obvious, but a British punk rock scene category would seem to hit

maybe try a ska punk category?

Just carrying out some conversation with the critics inside the thread.

Cool. Just saw you getting heaped upon in here and didn't dig it. Everyone's mileage may vary.

Cool. I knew it would be decisive just because of the average age of posters here. But it's been a personal mission of mine since the self titled album came out to end the notion that Blink silly or disposable but  instead were an original and highly talented band deserving of a ton of respect. I was actually way ahead of even the critical curve on this.

Dont worry, youngster. Its punk.

#### the rules. #### the opinions. I know some hardcore guys that get mad if you call the Ramones punk. #### them too. I tell them Bad Religion sucks. They tell me to #### myself.

It's all good.

There's no youngster there; it's an old soul that loves the new at times.
