Fun things had 4 songs on a murder punk compilation. I think they only put out the one EP. All four some are bangers. I’ll send you a PMrockaction said:
Thanks!
Probably the right call. Most of my exposure was seeing bands on punk or ska bills. Wont mention any band names now to not spoil anything.
Five letters and both foreign. The Vines were more of a traditional independent act, but I can see where the two would get lumped in together. That Vines track (the one) sort of was a rager, too.
I only know a few Adverts' songs. I think I prefer Gary Gilmore's eye - has a little more melody.
Sad face for that. The Adverts will actually be (aside from the string raking) one of the poppier songs to my ears, though the next one (#97) is truly a pop-punk record. You listen to tons of hard stuff so I would have figured on you seeing The Adverts as pop, too.
Yeah, "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" is their most well-known song and their biggest hit, it's just a more mid-tempo song and I wanted an upbeat one. Usually, on this list, given the choice between a rocker and a moodier piece, I went with the rocker.
I've drafted this one quite a few times. I actually only discovered it in 2008 when The Pitchfork 500 was published and I devoured every song in it I didn't know. I imagine a few more from that list will be appearing here.
Wow. That's high praise for that song, both in the drafting and in the 500. Cool. I wonder if there will be another one.Northern Voice said:
Yeah, need some grabbers on the front end. This fell from about 35 or so all the way. I was going to have it open up the countdown, but Chubby and the Gang were up for the task.
I’m pretty meh on this. Hadn’t heard this band and i think they’re pretty solid punk band. I listened to both their albums but couldn’t really find a song that stuck out. I think for my top 100 i would go with..rockaction said:
Punk goes to 2022 at least as far as its adherents go. It doesn't really matter what one man thinks, this is more than one man's opinion, no?
The list is ever-evolving. I'd rather you held off until it was all done with other songs, but that could be cool. Let me send you a new list.
The only Undertones song that I know, but I really like it. The two brothers formed a band that I really dug. It's not punk so feel safe that I'm not spotlighting anything here:
I was teasing. You are loved here. Your opinion is respected and loved here. Have there be no doubt.
I'll send you a new list. It's ever-changing. That's what happens when the man behind the curtain admits it's a free flow. The Adverts was indeed way higher up, but I wanted to bring peeps into the fray. It's imperfect, but the original list will change just a shade each time.
True. We've debated this a lot over PM and not even publicly. Next time I'll write for the general audience rather than you and I. I was also talking about nihilism and ego in general, an not necessarily you. Mad love.
The followers all had that nasally twang, but that was more aughts pop-punk than anything. That's because they were imitating Screeching Weasel and Green Day, frankly. Those were the nasally bands. And Weasel would ditch that when he'd form The Riverdales, his Ramones homage band.
