U2 can suck my long dick. They're very overrated. Although their good songs (like the first few from Joshua Tree) are great, the latter days and the africa bullshit brought them down.

Architecture In Helsinki (little known and hard to get used to, but great)
Depeche Mode (if you write them off as emo you're just biased)
Metallica
Nine Inch Nails
The Pixies
The Police
Queen
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Smashing Pumpkins (only those few good albums in the 90s though)
The Smiths
Architecture in Helsinki?!? You are seriously reaching. Their last album was a turd.

And who would ever call Depeche Mode emo? You are showing your age here.

people just don't know what emo is and was anymore.

No I think you misunderstand...

Green Day play punk rock for little kids.

The Clash are one of the most influential bands in the history of guitar-based music.

1. Pink Floyd-Have now collected every album they have ever released.

2. The Who-so many good songs.

3. Led Zep-didn't used to like them all that much but have changed my opinion over time.

4. AC/DC

5. ZZ Top

6. Guns N Roses-Sweet Child of Mine is a great song and Welcome to the Jungle is one of my favorite songs to listen to before a game.

7.Rolling Stones-Just a really good consistent band.

8. Van Halen-Eddie.

9. Chili Peppers-The best modern day band out there.

10. Queen

You're a twat. You know nothing of music. Please cease to exist, effective immediately.

no. they define what the marketers wanted the consuming public to think punk was you idiot. bands at the time with a real message like Crass define what punk is and was. bands like the clash and pistols (and the people making money off them like mcclaren and the record companies) help make punk a fashion. they killed it the same way hippie was killed off. they were in it for the money.

you obvioulsy don't understand what punk is and was. try digging a little deeper than the pistols and clash.

You arse. Try listening to the Clash's TUNES, as opposed to being a contraversialist.

i've heard just about everything by the clash. try backing up your points. i'm not saying they weren't an influential band(so was freegin Rush) but that doesn't change the fact that they sold out. and when they sold out they ceased to be punk. they just became another rock band. they're safe, easily aproachable and not particularly political. perfect for little kids and house wives. a lot like green day actually.

They evolved into something far better than three chord bollocks that most of the punks were churning out. The songs had meaning, were multi layered, and far beyond punk.

safe, boring, corporate rock. they cleaned up, sold out and became just another consumer product rock band.

that's the same arguement green day fans make for them. and that comment shows how little you know about punk bands of that era. like i said, dig a little deeper.

Although I like The Clash, and their early work was awesome, I'm going to have to side with mybike_yourface

Did anyone even hear Cut The Crap (they shoulda taken their own advice) - The fact is The Clash by the end of it were very much rock n roll and everything that sucks about music. Joe Strummer and Mick Jones weren't talking at all, but yet continued to be in a band together. Why? Maybe because it had turned into a comfortable 'job' that paid the electricity bills plus more - And don't even get me started on Sex Pistols, they were and always will be a joke.

If you want the 'epitome' of punk, you would have to look at bands that actually stayed underground, with Crass being a perfect example. Unfortunately, with all subcultures, once mainstream commercialisation finds a way to make a dollar from something, they will, and stupid kids just eat it up while still having the false sense of being 'alternative' (today that manifest in bands such as Green Day, AFI, My Chemical Shitbags, etc)

Like i mentioned earlier in this thread, if it's on the radio, it sucks

i love kill em all. i like their earlier thrash stuff. but talk about sell outs. i mean it's not tlike they were underground to start with really. but wow!they really went for the cash after the bassist died. you can here such a difference in the black album. i had no idea how bad it was when it came out(i was in 7th grade) but i can't even hear it now. plus their newer stuff is amazingly bad!

What I meant was, when they first made it big, mainly with the song Enter Sandman.

like i said, when the bassist died and they sold out and made the black album(which had enter sandman on it) yeah. i feel a little different about them since it's they weren't punk, but i definately think they sold out hard at that point.

I like Metallica all around. Sure, the earlier albums have great work on them, but just because the Black Album was a bit of a change in style doesn't make it a sell-out. Enter Sandman's a great song (albeit an overplayed great song), and it isn't really reminiscent of the old stuff.

All time best Metallica song ever is For Whom the Bell Tolls, IMO. Killer intro, awesome lyrics... just an all-around cool song.

Though the bell just sounds wimpy compared to the AC/DC bell in Hells Bells
