You've got to be punking kidding me?

Yeah, I know... "punking" is a real word and that's not how it's used. But, seriously, whoever is in charge of this list-- well, it's beyond words. See for yourselves.

BQ: Your thoughts?

BQ2: Punk song of the day (actual punk, please)?

Update:

F*ck, exclamation mark! I didn't mean to offend you.

    BA: There's a great chance this list was compiled by deaf, blind nuns.

    BQ:

    It's a JOKE! It's gotta be! Green Day??? #1???? They're not even Punk for cryin' out loud! In fact the only REAL Punk on that list is The Ramones and somewhat The Clash (first 2 albums only).

    Wow, I don't hardly listen to punk, and I can even tell that list is a laugh. I love how someone who's name is "somepeoplesuckatvoting" said Blink 182 should be on top, thus proving that some people really do suck at voting.

    Sex Pistols deserved to be on the list, and probably the Misfits, too, but I don't listen to enough punk to be able to properly judge them against other bands (I like my punk uber political when I do listen to it, and I just never got into those two).

    Ugh! THIS is like my #1 pet peeve. Those bands are not punk! With the exception of Sex Pistols, Misfits, and the Ramones. It's just annoying to see that.

    I'm not really into Punk, but even I have to say this is just really funny

    The top 10 are just hilarious, but the the rest of the list is even funnier, Papa Roach? Paramore? 30 Seconds To Mars? please.

    I know that a lot of people hate Green Day, I actually consider them the last real punk, just because they still touch political and religious issues, not just some dumb retarded story about high school.

    Too Drunk To f*** by The Dead Kennedys

    Oh...boy. That's a seriously embarrassing list.

    BQ: Although the title does say 'most popular punk bands', not 'best punk bands'. And the fact that there are popular punk bands seems kind of lame....

    BQ2: Eh..."Holidays in the Sun".

    What a ****** joke!!!! HOW is Green Day number 1. Also why is classic punk so low on the list. But I still like Rise Against as a good punk band.

  • 1 decade ago

    Yeah but those aren't real top tens. They are chosen by people who obviously don't know what punk is. Hmmm song of the day... Last Caress Misfits. I love singing that song and getting weird looks, Yeah that's right! I killed your baby today and it doesn't matter that much to me!

    I was just shaking my head as I scrolled down, stopped in utter disbelief when I saw Simple Plan at no. 8, then closed the window.

    BA: It's ridiculous. Looks like it was compiled by a 15 year old.
