Who Was The Greatest Punk Band Of The Nineties? (1 Viewer)

now let's start talking 2nd place.

Oof. What a great band. I have not laid out the contours of eligibility. I am not thinking straight after a sober month. I am thinking of those bands that defined the '91-'98 scene, really.  

So that's cool. But they started in '89 though, right?  Just like Screeching Weasel. 

Let's be loose with the criteria. 

Who defined the '90s punk scene? 

Fugazi

Screeching Weasel 

The Queers

The New Bomb Turks

The Devil Dogs

Rancid 

Any others?  

 
Are you leaving Bad Religion, Green Day, Offspring, nofx, unwritten law and pennywise off the list for a particular reason. 

I would even add Dropkick Murphys, the bouncing souls and a little band named Nirvana

 
Plus, im not sure you can define a sound if someone like me who was into the scene never heard of you. 

Who are the devil dogs

Bad Religion I would think of as eighties. 

I have no reason to leave Green Day and Offspring off of the list other than they just didn't occur to me as other than pop. 

NOFX deserves to be here. 

I'm looking for collaboration, not to be a richard about who belongs here. 

I just want to talk nineties punk -- it's an offshoot of Otis's thread in Columbus. 

Happens to be a little known band there I think belongs in the top twenty all-time for punk bands.

Sure. But the Devil Dogs were Crypt Records and a Sympathy For The Record Industry Band. Legends. 

Fabulous Andy Gortler and co. 

I'm open to discussing bands I haven't heard of as genre-defining.  

 
Really like swingin utters. I wouldn't say they defined the decade, but they were fun. 

Also, personally, I was big into NYHC. In NY, bands like H2O, Sick of it all, 25 ta life, No Redeeming Social Value and VOD defined the hardcore sound of that time period. 

Probably should add Civ, Madball and Skarhead. Heck, lets throw in Shelter and Kill Your idols also. 

Man, that was a really fun time for me.

A friend of mine knew her husband from sum 41. He showed me what was supposed to be a pic of her breasts. I dont know if it was really her, but ill be damned if I dont believe it. Still have it etched in my mind.

Swingin Utters were favorites of mine also. Streets of San Francisco is such a fun Oi! album, which has no business as a phrase used together. 

I saw Shelter. Witnessed one of the worst fights ever at a Shelter/108 show in my life in New Britain, CT.

Swingin' Utters:

These are some of the first that came to my mind.  I consider Social D and Bad Religion to be 80s.  A few I would add based more on my personal experience than anything:

AFI

MxPx

Lagwagon

No Use For A Name

Millencolin

If I had to pick THE definitive 90's punk band I would narrow it down to between NOFX and Rancid.

Mr. T Experience's and The Muffs' omission is criminal!

One of the most punk things I witnessed at a show was the female lead singer of the Muffs getting extremely pissed at a few groups of people that clearly didn't come to see them play.  I don't recall who The Muffs were playing before that night but they were on stage before the "headliner" (which was probably someone like Chixdiggit or New Bomb Turks...lol) but multiple times she starting screaming at people.

Turning your back to the stage, especially at any punk show, falls somewhere between poor form or just plain stupid...so I can't say I blamed her.  I seem to recall they just released Blonder and Blonder so I was into it, but eventually the show deteriorated as the outbursts took place less and less between songs and more and more during them.  At some point she went into the crowd, but after some pushing and shoving was eventually coerced back on stage by chanting fans and by some people playing nice and turning around.  Of course, the people immediately turned their backs on the band again when she got back on stage and looked their way.

So she responded in one of the few ways left to her.  She reached under her dress (and after a moment) her hand appeared with a...I'll call it a "weapon of menstrual destruction".  It was clearly previously in place for a reason and was now being thrown toward the group of agitators.  It managed to find the side of one of them before smacking to the floor.  All hell broke loose.  That itself wasn't anything unusual, but the spark that set if off that night certainly was.

It's The Humpers, for one album at least. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-gCUL1W7GQ

Nice!  I almost included The Humpers.  Big fan of 'Live Forever or Die Trying'.  Live they were an absolute whirlwind of energy and sound too.  Like a less-polished/no horns/punk version of Rocket From The Crypt.

While we're on a roll here I'll also mention The Brian Jonestown Massacre.  They had some horrid, horrid shows but on the rare occasion they brought it they were awesome.  Not as continuously epic as a band like The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, but worth a niche mention I suppose.

Kim was known for tampon antics. That is not surprising.

Maybe not the best band, but the best name from the decade goes to Propaghandi

I was just going to nominate 

"Publicly subsidized, privately profitable...the anthem of the puppeteer profiteer untouchable...focus a moment...nod in approval...bury your heads in the barkwoods of these neocolonials" 

From memory
