Iggy and the Stooges may not be a straight ahead punk band, but they got me into punk music in general.

I was wondering what bands/albums got you guys into punk? For me it would have to be The Clash's self-titled album. I bought it from a local record store and when I got home I listened to it all the way through right away. Ever since hearing that album I've been hooked. So what about you guys?

Same here!

I was downtown at this big music store just wandering around once, and my mom said I could get one cd. I picked out The Clash's S/T and I was hooked.

That's the only one I listen to. That and an occasional "Give 'em Enough Rope."

But the Clash's S/T is their best album.

The Offsrping - Americana, first punk album I bought, but didn't know it was punk. Also first CD I ever owned
Blink 182 - Enema of the State, see above

The album that first got me into punk was NOFX- 45 or 46 Songs that Weren't Good Enough for Any of Our Other Records

But the one that really changed my entire idea of what punk was all about was Lower Class Brats- Clockwork Singles Collection: Real Punk is an Endangered Species

That second album really moved me from pop-punk to punk in a matter of weeks.

Anti-Flag - Die for the Government, first album I bought knowing about punk. It got me into DK and onto the forums.

I had this one, and I thought it was the most hardcore amazing punk thing I'd ever heard. Then I started really listening to the lyrics and just got annoyed by the hypocrisy. Then LCB came along and I was saved.

10-28-2005, 07:33 PM

10-28-2005, 09:56 PM

I was watching a Bond movie a few years ago, and they played London Calling at some point when somebody's parachuting over the city, and I was like "what a great song." So I asked my parents about it, and my dad started playing the CD, and then I was hooked. He also had some Sex Pistols, which I liked at the begining, but I soon found what DK had to offer and moved on.

But I guess my first real punk album was Dear You, even though that's pop-punk.

The Casualties and Crass.

Crass is pretty unusual, first band that got me into punk was the Suicide Machines, from the movie Brink.

skinnedmonkey

10-28-2005, 11:14 PM

45 or 46 songs, NOFX, I found it at a record store used mega cheap and I thought it looked cool and I had heard some kids talking about them.
Rancid S/T, yah it looks cool too....
never mind the bollocks heres the sex pistols, I listnened to that one a gabillion times.

Buzzbomb

10-28-2005, 11:20 PM

Rancid was the first punk band i got into. There wasn't really an album that i bought first but the first Rancid song i ever heard was Bloodclot

StruckEverywhere

10-29-2005, 02:16 AM

A blur of Sum 41, Offspring, Blink and all that jazz got me into punk. Although I was listnening to The Clash from a really early age.

One band got my into hardcore though, the best band of all time: REFUSED.

10-29-2005, 06:49 AM

My dad was a Punk Rocker in the 70s, so Ive been hearing the Ramones and PiL as a kid, but he wasnt at home much, so that started to be forgotten, got into some hip hop. Then my big sister got me into the offspring and nirvana (a few months before he died) and my dad found out I liked 'new' punk and he got me X-Ray Spex and the Sex Pistols, thats where it really began when I was almost 15. Cheers dad.

smokersdieyounger

10-29-2005, 06:50 AM

Then a few months later when he was back, he said ''what the **** are you listening to punk for its ****, get some more reggae'' and I am stuck between punk and reggae ever since. But I love Punk/Reggae crossover bands like Slits, Bad Brains and PiL.

Jonney Blazes V1

10-29-2005, 06:59 AM

The first?? I don't know..I listened to the Clash a lot, even though a lot of their stuff isn't pure punk. The Dead kenneddys and fresh fruit for rotting vegtables was the first hardcore punk album I bought, and I think the second punk album I bought was the Undertones self titled album and then London Calling by the Clash..

shamed-angel

10-29-2005, 08:45 AM

Dead Kennedys- Police Truck was on THPS1 and I bought the album.

Six Foot Revolver

Recommend me a good PiL album.

I got into Punk in Drublic as a wee lad.

I'd say Second Edition is their best.

Culture Shock

10-29-2005, 11:31 AM

I'd say Second Edition is their best.

Alright, I've never heard anything by them but does it have plenty of punk/reggae? If so, I'll pick it up on Sunday when I go into the city.

In a trip to mexico my friend made me a mixed cd with a bunch of songs. Many misfits,dk, and tsol songs. On the same trip i had a copy of the ramones self titled cd and i was amazed by it, studying every aspect of the music.

Maverick_Special

10-29-2005, 01:03 PM

The Ramones Live in New York...and then the pistols NMTB got me into punk. However, every time I hear something new I get more and more into punk. DK probably re-jump started it and right now I am chillin with Bad Brains

RetiredAt21

10-29-2005, 01:29 PM

The Misfits got me into punk.

TheNowhereman42

Greenday - Dookie
RBF - Favorite Noise

The Clash - s/t

My dad is a big fan of The Clash, and old punk/80s hardcore music. I'd heard him listening to this, and by the time i was 10, it was my favorite album. It's nowhere near my favorite now, but it's still awesome.

He has lots of albums, and it was through him that I got into Black Flag, Minor Threat, Stiff Little Fingers and tons of other bands.

Jersey's Best Dancer

10-30-2005, 12:14 PM

My dad's best friend listens to punk and gave my dad two mix cds. It had Black Flag, old DKM, MOFX, vandals, bouncing souls and a bunch of other bands and that got me hooked. Then I realized my dad had Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction, Descendents - Everything Sucks and Propagandhi - How to Clean Everything. The first one I bought was NOFX - White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean.

skavid

10-30-2005, 05:38 PM

One of my friends took me to a Dropkick Murphys show and I was hooked after that.

maco

10-30-2005, 06:15 PM

If we don't count listening to the Clash and the Ramones on the radio when I was in like preschool, like by the time I actually heard of punk....probably Anti-Flag. I listened to punk-ska before punk though, so for that it'd probably be the Reel Big Fish's Why Do They Rock So Hard?

DaveToopes

10-30-2005, 06:27 PM

My brother got me into ska before punk too, I listened to Taj Motel Trio in like, 4th grade.

LeftoverVictim719

10-30-2005, 09:27 PM

I guess really mainstream pop punk like blink182 or green day gave me a jump.
But definatiely the first punk albums/bands that got me actually into punk would have to be Rancid-And out come the wolves or s/t 2000, that and Nofx-Punk in Drublic. Rancid really gave me my first taste of it.

But the first thing to actually hit me hard and got me thinking would have to be Op ivy-Energy

That and the Tony Hawk games. I hate to admit it, but they got me into alot of my favorite punk bands.

Fabz

10-30-2005, 09:40 PM

Nofx and Pennywise

holy_roller99

10-31-2005, 10:54 AM

Nofx- punk in drublic
first album, and then i found my dads sex pistols album so i started to listen to that and then i bought bad religion - the empire strikes first and the antiflag- the terror state

England5Germany1

10-31-2005, 04:35 PM

Hmmmm...that'd be either The Unseen, DKM, AFI, or the Misfits....unless you count Ska or pop-punk in which case it'd be either Goldfinger, Smash Mouth (Fush Yu Mang), or The Offspring.

blink 182

gosh i was like 10 years old and had absolutly no idea what punk what was about
i always thought it was that crazy skater rock music (edit : i mean i thought blink was that skater music)
than later the year i turned 13 i read an article were someone of blink says they play "poooopy poooopy pop punk stuff"
i went to find out what regular poppunk was like
i got into bands like green day and lagwagon (some nofx)
when i saw that blink dvd were the guitarist says his favourite band was propagandhi i had to find out who those guys are.so that got me into those fat wreck bands and other modern punk stuff.with them and green day talking about dk ,sex pistols, clash and the ramones i also got into older stuff

and here i am , 16, vegan ,hyperpolitical and in a propagandhi t-shirt.
i'm not ashamed that i used to be a blink fan
no.
actually i like listening to them then and when...

coheneran

10-31-2005, 06:07 PM

The Toy Dolls. Ahhhhh the memories. To be nine and bored again. I then misplaced the CD when I was about 10, but by then I was listening to the Pistols. When I was 11, my brother introduced me to NoFX, and from there it led to Propagandhi, Crass (my friend's grandfather was their bass player, AWESOME!), Buzzcocks, Oi Polloi, Chumbawumba (but the bastards sold out!), L7, then I read The Philosophy of Punk, and now, well, I'm back to Toy Dolls, the Clash, the Dwarves (saw them in Leeds, they rocked out the tent), Infectzia (if you're Israeli), etc..

EDIT: ****E! I forgot Anti-Flag. I'm so ashamed. *Whips himself*

dr._feelgood

10-31-2005, 06:22 PM

The Ramones were the band that got me into punk. My dad introduced me to them when I was about 11.

and a bunch of other real good stuff. Never really was into blink though.... and definately not NOFX... i only recently started to like them.

I stole my neighbor's Misfits CD.... god i love it :)

11-01-2005, 12:52 PM

the first band that got me into punk would have to be crass.
long after hearing the likes of the clash, and sex pistols.
after listening to anarcho, it changes the persepective on what punk actually is, in my opinion.

the offspring opened my mind to some alterative music.
and fresh fruit for rotting vegtables taught me that old music wasnt just for old people :-D

My cousin had Smash (Offspring) and I really liked it but I don't think it really got me into punk, I don't even think I knew that punk existed. But It would probally have to be maybe Anti-Flag but even when I started listening to them I was listening to bands I thought were punk but really weren't. It took me a while to figure out what was real punk and I now finally listen to good bands. It was a long cycle.

rageagainstthebizkit

11-02-2005, 03:31 PM

i think indestructable is a very good album, whats with the prejudice?! i understand 'ghost band' was on it, *shuuder*, but otherwise its fantastic

Tainted Love <3

11-02-2005, 03:36 PM

Green Day - American Idiot.

I'm kinda bored of that song and the album now because the songs are overplayed. But that album made me buy all of the other Green Day albums and that really kinda started me off...

123.

I've loved the Offspring since I was about 8 or 9. Whenever "Why Don't You Get a Job?" was a popular single. After that, I bought all their cd's. I still think they're pretty decent.

Fresh Fruit really got me interested in punk. It's without a doubt one of my favorite albums. Before I listened to it, I would feel ashamed listening to bands that were around before I was born. Even though I think the Offspring were just getting started then.

11-02-2005, 04:03 PM

Anti-Flag : Underground Network
this got a number of my friends into punk too even though I didn't know them at the time when I got into punk.

Green Day - American Idiot.

I'm kinda bored of that song and the album now because the songs are overplayed. But that album made me buy all of the other Green Day albums and that really kinda started me off...

Out of all of Green Day's scatmunch albums, you chose the worst one. They are like chumbawumbas with no penis. They jump on a '**** america' band wagon like every other surf/skate punk band. Try Oi Polloi or Crass or NoFX. If they're not to your taste, try the Buzzcocks or the Clash. But whatever you decide to listen to under the guise of punk, do NOT listen to Green Day or Blink (wish we were>)18(but we're actually>)2 and think for one second they know anything about the punk message, the point of punk, or how to do a punk show.

I thought Bowling For Soup was considered punk. I don't know why, though, when I come to think of it. They had one song called Punk Rock 101 that was kinda early-day Green Day-ish. Yeah, not one of those bands was punk!

about green day, i was wondering at what point they became pop-punk. kerplunk! sounds punk to me

albert_bass

11-04-2005, 04:40 PM

Yeah, but add in a pop- before it.

The media called them punk but they haven't been exactly punk.

Of course pop-punk is a subgenre of punk but I guess that's not what you want to know.

I was always into mainstream punk like Green Day, Blink 182, Sum 41 etc. Then I got into Nirvana, and I was totally obsessed with Kurt Cobain, I bought his journal, the whole 9 yards. Then in grade 7 I started checking out bands like Lagwagon and NoFX, and kind of got into more underground bands from there.

And now I like Ska.

11-04-2005, 04:50 PM

Hitler was influential as well, doesn't mean he was good.

That's right, I compared Hitler to Green Day, what are YOU gonna do about it?

I think the album that got me more interested in Punk was Bad Religion - Suffer. Subhumans - The Day The Country Died also really helped in getting more into it.

I'm glad Green Day is around, because really they are the only link Punk has to the mainstream. It's my opinion that HxC Green Day fans, upon becoming bored with Green Day (which they most certainly will), will search for other bands in the same genre. Bands like Lagwagon, NoFX, and other similar bands. That's exactly what happened with me, and my musical interests have been expanding since, so I'm assuming it has, or will happen, to other people.

I look at how my parents listen to music they liked when they were my age and wonder if I'll be driving around singing lyrics to the Dead Kennedys or for something more my time, Streetlight Manifesto. The thought of people in their 30's or older listening to what I like is cause for laughter.

yea i guess. there is alot of older punx in my scene, whenever i go to shows im usually one of the youngest there, and im 16.

Funny story (not punk, but....). I was at the Avenged Sevenfold concert a few days ago, and there was this old grandma (probably in her mid-60's) in the middle of the crowd while the opening band was playing. She dressed as a normal 60 year old hag would too. Anyway, the lead singer was leading the crowd in repeating "****" after he would say it. So when he would say "****" the crowd would say it back, and the grandma was doing it to, being real into it. :lol:

The sad part about that story is that as soon as the next band came on, the pit went nuts in the same area she was standing. So i have no idea what happened to the poor ol' lady.

My dad was into windsurfing and all the surfers and winsdurfers he hung out with were playing Dead Kennedys, Talking Heads and Stiff Little Fingers tapes all the time so he got some even though his taste was more Hendrix/Stones/CCR. When you're a kid it all just soaks in.

i guess the most influnce that got me into punk actually from the internet, since I don't really have any friends

GBH..now that is a name i havent heard in awhile.alot of people i used to hang out with were into them.i didnt get hooked to them but they were still a good group.they did get me hooked to the exploited and dead kennedys though

and im sorry you dont have any friends.but it saves you the trouble of scraping them off the road,after a car runs them over.and having to bury them in your backyard...wait a minute ..i was thinking of having pets...oh well,same difference.
