He's some Street Dogs. You'll probably recognize the lead singer, he started Dropkick Murphys.

Two angry (ATS) kids

Somehow seems quite apt today.

Another 1981 classic.

I was 16 when I went to Fenders Ballroom in Long Beach, CA in '86.
It was the first time I saw this band and the first time I saw a chick crowd surfing wearing a sun dress and Doc's!

Charlie Harper is 67 years old and still living the life....and he's a great guy who always has time to talk to people in the audience etc.

First saw him back in '80 or '81.

I'm somewhere in the crowd when this was being recorded



I've met Decca Wade a few times and he too is a really top bloke.
Drumming at his best on this.

Bad Religion on David Letterman (1994)

Lars Fredricksons newest side project, the Old Firm Casuals. Epic win for new punk rock.

The Cure - Play for Today. Live in Holland (1980)
(Some people won't consider this punk, but it's still considered post-punk.)

Punk and its music shaped me for a long time. You could say that I came to God because of it. This is some of the stuff that I started out on. Gosh, the memories...

I loved Op Ivy back in the day.



This is the Rancid tune about the whole trip. Great tune in it's own right.



Minor Threat. These guys were the first Punk band I heard back in the mid 80's. Ordering cassettes from catalogue's at Sam The Record Man. This and Slayer were the first one's I ordered. lol.



I just want to add one more because there is an anniversary coming up soon of a lost friend and it is a fitting tribute, even if you don't know him.

Time for some more positive punk!



Be nice, say thank you
And please once in a while
It's a beautiful world we live in
So give your brother a smile
Turn to a stranger
And give him a pat on the back
It's not that hard to do
Maybe the friendship will last

Wonderful! (Wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)

Don't smoke, don't litter
Don't step on a beetle or ant
Always walk on the sidewalk
Never tread on the grass
Be kind, be courteous
Open the door for your mom
Help an old person across the street
Give the bum something to eat

Wonderful! (Wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)

Punk? I was never really a fan, more into nwobhm, though I loved the Undertones, and I thought this was FANTASTIC.
I'd love to hear a Rammstein cover.

Thanks to everyone who posted in here. I heard some great stuff that I was unaware of before I started this thread. I was also happy to see some Minor Threat in here

Some more classic hardcore. Rich Kids on '___'.

So much raw energy.
