Zebrahead have a few different sounds, they are multi-talented. They can do rap-rock pretty well and they can also just rock. I Think they are all right but nothing earth shaking. Most bands have free .MP3's on their websites or on fansites, check 'em out. GOOGLE is amazing!

So you are, in fact, in a position to confirm wether or not those bands sound like a combination of Blink182 and Greenday

no

The Streets and Dizzee rascal: British rap stuff

Zebrahead: read above

Pennywise, Flip Nixon, and Face to Face: punk, not like blink182 really though

Ill Mitch: GO DOWNLOAD SOME NOW!!! he is russian, funniest thing ever

Yellowcard: Ok, kind of like blink 182, but I still like them.

As rad and influential as PW have been, I think they have become stagnant over the last 3 or so albums. Overall their contribution to the modern "punk" scene is very large indeed. I understand how people can label most pop-punk as Green Day or Blink 182 like, Modern punk is way more poppy than the original form of punk. We started with (in roughly chronological order era wise) bands like the Kinks/Iggy Pop & the Stooges/Sex Pistols/The Clash/Bad Brains/Minor Threat/Gang of Four/Misfits/Adolescents/Black Flag/Bad Religion/T.S.O.L. etc, then there were bands like Descendants/Screeching Weasel/The Offspring/Operation Ivy/Pennywise/Rancid/Fugazi/ from there, punk sort of split into either Indie, Pop, Thrash, or various other sub-genres. The poppy bands being of course Green-Day, Blink 182, Lagwagon, Face to Face, Unwritten Law, NOFX, No Use For A Name, Pulley, Millencolin, (all big influences during my formative years) the list goes on and on and unfortunately has led to things like Good Charolette, A New Found Glory, A Simple Plan, Yellowcard (the best of the worst). Not very cool IMHO. I tend to like the Indie variety best but nothing beats good old fashioned punk rock! I guess what's his name was right, I'm just getting old...Anyway, anybody heard of Idlewild? they are a Scottish Indie band with some great lyrics, really good stuff overall. Does this qualify me as MMike super Gnar-Core?

Prince is a Jehovah Witness now, some girlyfriends i have went to see him last year and he was spewing all kinds of Jehovah crap to the audience. Can you imagine that, you slam the door on them and the Mormons all day long, then you get suckered into paying 30 bucks to see one on preach on the stage! hahahaha.

Prince is above pop, he is a music genious, i don't listen to his stuff, but the first albums he did as a teenager, he wrote every song, played every instrument.... The dude has written and copywrit probably hundreds of thousands of songs. Probably the stuff he never releases is the best stuff.

One of the best dance songs ever, "Erotic City".:devil:

Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, New Found Glory all disgust me. I actually like yellowcard though. I like Unwritten law a lot too. I actually dont care much for the really punk stuff, I guess that makes me not hardcore or whatever, but I like the music.

In my youth I havent heard much prince, so I dont have much non hijacking content to add to this thread.

T-Pirate,

you and your whole crew are definitely hard core. Especially considering your age! Keep up the good work...RESPECT! that's all you need to remember.

Silence? Hardly. I know you're listening to Dr. Laura everyday while driving around and thinking to yerself, "damn I could be doing this dumb advice-giving bitch's job"

BTW, did I read some posts ripping you a new one for getting old? Hahaha, welcome to my world. Ain't payback a bitch? :devil:

I haven't lived in NJ/NY since '87 so I did kinda forget to mention anything less than Minor Threat, and I was sort of skimming some more recognizable names people might know of already. The NY HC scene was/is a big part of it, can't forget H2O/Saves The Day/Thursday, etc...

You wanna talk about a blast from the past ... Mission of Burma played a free show here three weeks ago as part of a big festival. They still sounded really good for dudes in their forties.

punkassean · Jun 3, 2004

They played out here like a month ago. They do still rock! It seems like all the oldie but goodies are playing shows right now, like the pixies re-union/cure/beastieboys etc...

DNA · Jun 3, 2004

Yeah, and the Misfits are still touring, oh wait ... they sound like crap without Danzig. Nevermind.

punkassean · Jun 3, 2004

And don't forget the artist we once referred to as Prince and then temporarily called him by a symbol thingy and then returned to calling him Prince again, or whatever the F-ck his name is. But I know this chic who went to his show and said it sucked! She should have gone to see the Pixies instead.

i am sorry but that is the biggest copout of all time

there is great music being made all over the place, except possibly for 1975. open yr eyes. turn off the radio and tv. they are not where worthwhile music comes from

I saw Prince last night and it was a big disappoinment
