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

There is this weird Peter Pan remake called Pan that my son has been watching.  For some reason they play Smells Like Teen Spirit, and he has been singing it everyday.  Pretty funny to here a 5yo "hello hello... Entertain us"    

 
This can't be answered because punk is...or was an attitude in the 70' and early 80's. That attitude has morphed into different types of music. That's why there are so many answers,

This is probably correct, but like Potter Stewart said, we know it when we hear it.

My favorite off the first album was Bracket, who were unusual in punk circles, but still cool.  This is a link to "Talk Show" It's got a Welcome Back Kotter/T. Rex stomp then flies into some three chord stuff and then a typical Fat Wreck drum and overdub vocal/harmonic sound. I love it.

Good Riddance or No Use For A Name for me.  Off that album anyway.

edit: maybe Propagandhi.

Yeah, Propagandhi was mentioned upthread by Limp Ditka. 

I'll still never forget the phrase "publicly subsidized/privately profitable"

Even for a libertarian, it rings home.

How ready are you
To die for an ideal
What's the connection
Between a lie and what is real
Mother Superior

I've got an angel on my back
I'm one of the righteous
And I'm never going back
No, no, no
I'm never going back

Who's that shining forth-right man
About to die behind me
He's waiting for the portress to send me head over heels
Who's that black-heart four-star General walking up the hill
To ask the liberals nicely
To help finance his private war

And if I didn't trust that man
When he puts the rifle in your hand
Sings you songs of pageantry and grace
And how much you want to bet on the other side
There's a man with twice your pride
And they put you feet first in an unmarked grave

 
Thanks for the information. Never give a sucker an easy break. 

Thanks for the memories. I just like to carry on on my own.

 
Face to Face and Millencolin were my favorite 90s punk bands. I was more into ska: Operation Ivy, Less Than Jake and Suicide Machines (they were THE fn band as a late 90s teen in Detroit).

I've said this in another thread. Remember when they were Jack Kevorkian and the Suicide Machines?  I remember MRR reviewing their singles. Anyway, I loved the song "New Girl."

I don't, I was only like 13 or 14 when Destruction by Definition came out. I rocked the hell out of that CD tho and saw them a few times live. They never really could follow up DbD but that was a masterpiece.

Yeah, I was a little older when DbD came out (I was about 22 or so). 

I just remember there was noise about this ska band from Detroit called Jack Kevorkian and the Suicide Machines and I always thought that was a punk name.  They were pretty poppy, though, all things considered.

They had catchy hooks, but it was pretty punk. The concerts were rowdy, them and Flogging Molly were probably my favorite shows to attend.

I followed one of the links above and stumbled upon Teenage Bottlerocket. Digging it.

My 2nd favorite current punk band to The Copyrights. Seen them live half a dozen times or more. One time the venue kept telling them they need to shut it down because it's almost 2am (CA bar closing time). They just just kept saying OK OK OK one more song and played until the place unplugged them after 2am. Lol.

If you haven't heard The Lillingtons check them out too. One of the bottlerocket singers previous bands.

 
Can't believe I've missed this thread.  Some excellent stuff in here and I feel compelled to add a few things.

Thanks you to those who mentioned Pegboy and Dillinger Four.  Those two bands defined 90s punk for me. I'm a MPLS guy and saw D4 dozens of times, always great.  Saw them open a reunion show for Pegboy in like 2002 in Chicago and it was among the 2 or 3 best shows of my life.

NOFX is a punk institution that are probably in the conversation of greatest punk band ever.  To me, pigeonholing them into the 90s just isn't fair, even if that was arguably their peak.  Should be in R&R HOF.

A band I haven't seen mentioned (and it's a travesty ) is Avail.  Over the James is an absolute tour-de-force record and a couple others were amazing as well.  And they pretty much began and ended in the 90s.

At the moment the Interruptors are on heavy rotation for me, as are Turkish Techno, PEARS, Perfect ##### and Masked Intruder.

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.

I’m in Seattle for the Steelers game and they’re playing 8 minutes (by foot) from my hotel tonight. I think I have to go.

How would you solve this Issue? Neighbor keeps dogs off lease and they run around and do their business on other neighbors property.
