Jay Posted 18 February 2007 Posted 18 February 2007 Give us a lesson in punk then. for a REAL lesson in punk you should listen to some of the most influential Punk albums of all time!! for example I recommend and in no particular order... The Ramones - Rocket to Russia Minor Threat - Complete Discography Bad Religion - Suffer Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables Black Flag - Damaged Refused - The Shape of punk to come Bad Brains - Rock For lift Rancid - and out come the wolves should give you a good start!! although imo Punk and Music video are two words that don't go together as many of the great punk bands have not made music videos and a major part of being a punk band is being politically charged, underground and rejecting commercial success and doing it for the music and the fans and doesn't matter if you are playing for 50 fans or 5000 and no list that has PUNK in the world should have Bowling for Soup anywhere near it!!! especially infront of Anarchy in the UK which is really THE song that started it all heres some classic Dead Kennedy Lyrics about Music Videos.. Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair Flame up the herb Woof down the beer [click!] Hi I'm your video DJ I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go My job is to help destroy What's left of your imagination By feeding you endless doses Of sugar-coated mindless garbage So don't create Be sedate Be a vegetable at home And thwack on that dial If we have our way even you will believe This is the future of rock and roll How far will you go How low will you stoop To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill You've turned rock and roll rebellion Into Pat Boone sedation Making sure nothing's left to the imagination M.T.V. Get off the M.T.V. Get off the M.T.V. Get off the air Get off the air See the latest rejects from the muppet show Wag their tits and their dicks As they lip-synch on screen There's something I don't like About a band who always smiles Another tax write-off For some schmuck who doesn't care M.T.V. Get off the air And so it was Our beloved corporate gods Claimed they created rock video Allowing it to sink as low in one year As commercial TV has in 25 "It's the new frontier," they say It's wide open, anything can happen But you've got a lot of nerve To call yourself a pioneer When you're too god-damn conservative To take real chances. Tin-eared Graph-paper brained accountants Instead of music fans Call all the shots at giant record companies now The lowest common denominator rules Forget honesty Forget creativity The dumbest buy the mostest That's the name of the game But sales are slumping And no one will say why Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!? M.T.V.-Get off the air! NOW 25 years later and it's still pretty accurate imo
willy37 Posted 18 February 2007 Posted 18 February 2007 for me the song clear channel fook off by leftover crack sums up the mainstream music industry... The Sovereign Insincerity The monopoly of greed Nickelback, POD, Rancid, Britany and Creed The Bureaucrats they leech upon to mediocre trends Your song in heavy rotation from the cash your label spends From the products you promote for the ones who foot the bill A Prefabricated goose-step for the pockets that you fill The monotony of censored products shine in the display The same old song of compromise went platinum today. From town to town and state to state The same old song you love to hate The same shit stacked upon your plate rotate again and syndicate We've been waiting far too long too change the band, too change the song through every day and dusk and dawn We've been brain-washed to sing along No difference between the hot new single and the Pepsi ads commercial jingle The beauty's withered faded crinkle Just sip the coke and pop the pringle The boardroom is the dragons lair They play us shit 'cuz they don't care The clearest channel plays unfair and we all want you off the air Overdose on shoddy culture; mediocre trends Auto-Tune the bottom line as a mean to meet the ends Merging corporate empires create the ill conglomerations and buy up to reprogram major market radio stations Fabricate one single voice broadcast from sea to sea What once held notions of change and choice is now being controlled fully Deregulations raised the edge of expolitations bar Politics replaced by "bling" and clothes and fancy cars Trapped imaginations from the video's blinding light Bombarded with monotony that captivates the sight The channel we've been tuned to is all frigid, blank and clear Told what to eat and drink and buy and whom to hate and fear Poisoned by the fairy-tale, A capitalistic dream Go to sleep, You're free and brave, and on the winning team

Head Honcho Posted 18 February 2007 Posted 18 February 2007 Heard Friggin' in the riggin for the first time in years the other day-brought a smile to my face. A very under estimated tune imo. http://www.dementia.org/~jacquez/writing/d...ses-lyrics.html
Cat Burger Posted 20 February 2007 Posted 20 February 2007 It's not even ok if you call it best pop-punk videos!!!!!
Finnegan Posted 20 February 2007 Posted 20 February 2007 It's not even ok if you call it best pop-punk videos!!!!! Mostly because that'd be an oxymoron.
Deathside Posted 21 February 2007 Author Posted 21 February 2007 Mostly because that'd be an oxymoron. I hate big words that I don't understand
Master Fox Posted 21 February 2007 Posted 21 February 2007 Are bowling for soup a bit gay? It's just someone i work with went to see them the other day. She was like 'yeah man, went to see Bowling for soup on saturday' who the **** the are they??'
Cat Burger Posted 21 February 2007 Posted 21 February 2007 Mostly because that'd be an oxymoron. Depends on your definition of punk then really doesn't it? The Aggressively unconventional was hugely popular at one time. Pop punk for me is Rancid, The Distillers, The Bouncing Souls e.t.c
Jordan Posted 21 February 2007 Posted 21 February 2007 Yes that's right, punk is dead It's just another cheap product for the consumer's head Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters CBS promote The Clash Ain't for revolution, it's just for cash Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be Ain't got a thing to do with your or me Movements are systems and systems kill Movements are expressions of the public will Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost Leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost Punk narcissism was a social napalm Steve Jones started doing real harm Preaching revolution, anarchy and change Sucked from the system that had given him his name Well, I'm tired of staring through shit-stained glass Tired of staring up a superstar's arse I've got an arse and crap and a name I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame Steven Jones, you're napalm If you're so pretty vacant, why do you smarm? Patti Smith, you're napalm, your write with your hand But it's Rimbaud's arm And me, yes, I, do I want to burn? Is there something I can learn? Do I need a business man to promote my angle? Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle? I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear The social elite with safetypins in their ear I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting PUNK IS DEAD... Yep, that's Crass--in 1978. I don't mean to be a pedantic douchebag, but I'm always skeptical whenever I hear people mention a certain "p-word" when it doesn't refer to a particular musical and social "movement" that took place between 1976-1978. (But who am I to say this--all of that took place before I was even born. )
Deathside Posted 22 February 2007 Author Posted 22 February 2007 Just had a listen to: Crass - Punk Is Dead
Daggers Posted 22 February 2007 Posted 22 February 2007 Crass suck ass...bunch of commune-dwelling hippies!
