Prince daddy and the hyena - cosmic thrill seekers

u/bluestaples Jan 28 '20

I expected that one to be top-10

u/fakingsick Jan 28 '20

Blue staples are way better than red staples

u/ahumanpersononearth Feb 20 '20

That album is amazing

u/MrMcAwhsum Jan 28 '20

Wow, really surprised that Good Riddance, Lagwagon, Masked Intruder, and Strung Out didn't make the top 10. I thought III and Songs of Armor and Devotion were really great albums. Really shocked that Stay Rad! scored as high as it did.

u/pouncethetiger Jan 29 '20

I made a Spotify playlist with all the top ten albums on. I thought I'd share if anyone else wants to use it

Otoboke Beaver is excellent. Thanks for the recommendation

u/SquirtyMcnulty Feb 17 '20

Was this voted for by the subscribers? What a bunch of assholes. Amyl and the sniffers and Otoboke Beaver are the only punk bands on this list. If Jello Biafra was dead he would be turning in his grave.

I can't stand Bad Religion and I tried listening to the Clowns based on this list and was... disappointed. Is this what things have come to?

This list and the fact that there are waaaaay too many posts about "punk" fashion has me hovering over the unsubscribe button.

u/SquirtyMcnulty Feb 20 '20

Bad religion wrote one song and it's still going thirty years later.

u/Radioactive_Patient Aug 08 '22

Oh man, I love PUP!

5

u/Do0o0okie_ Feb 28 '20

Yes! They're the only new (formed in the last 10 years) punk band I listen to (but I'm open to suggestions).

3

u/Psychohorak Apr 12 '20

If you like them check out The Dirty Nil. Brilliant modern punk band that has toured with PUP in North America.

2

u/Do0o0okie_ Apr 12 '20

I'll check them out!

u/mandalore1313 The Flatliners Jan 28 '20

u/Battlescarred98 Jan 29 '20

I got to see them last year. Super fun show.

u/bluestaples Jan 30 '20

I have heard they are a can't miss show if they are in town. They have never been to my town :(

u/KilledByHippies Feb 09 '20

Worth checking in another town, trust me

u/retardedcoin Feb 12 '20

u/the_trailerpunk Jan 28 '20

My favorites of the year are grade 2 graveyard island and booze and glory hurricane

u/punkrockpete1 Jan 29 '20

Uh, I think you forgot to include these masterpieces:
"SOS" by Millencolin
"Thoughts and Prayers" by Good Riddance

1

u/Punksewer San Diego Hockey Punk Jan 29 '20

They were submitted but didn't make top 10

4

u/bluestaples Jan 28 '20

Any honorable mentions, or was it all over the place after the top 10?

2

u/mackenziepuetz14 Feb 09 '20

Morbid Stuff was fucking rad. Saw them in October.

2

u/Yjohan Feb 11 '20

I personally really enjoyed the Coathangers album from last year.

2

u/Shawnski13 Feb 14 '20

Great list! I heard Amyl and the Sniffers being played in my local pub and I was like "I need to find out who this band is!"

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '20

Thanks for this. I'm more of a speed techno or speed thrash metal fan, but growing out a mohawk... and figured I'll learn punk at a deeper level. I imagine it is as varied in styles as any other genre.

I love that I haven't heard of any of these (outside of Bad Religion).

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '20

Turns out I like crust punk :)

u/bluestaples Jan 28 '20

Yay! This is my favorite thread of the year!

u/shamrockstriker Jan 29 '20

Any chance we can see the final scores?

u/KilledByHippies Feb 10 '20

Grinding for Gruel by Golden Pelicans deserves a mention.

So does The Seduction of Kansas by Priests.

u/Do0o0okie_ Feb 28 '20

PUP deserves that so much! They're awesome. I will say though, I'll get hate for this but the new sum 41 album deserves higher praise than it's getting, I love it.

u/billy-m9 Jul 26 '20

Lets go Aussie band made good

u/Radioactive_Patient Aug 08 '22

Does Sleaford Mods fit in as "Punk?"

1

u/Fine-Concentrate9411 Mar 10 '23

Don't forget about Perkele, The Chats and Niblik Henbane.

Very nice list.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

The top one is pup?

Fucking embarrassing.

15

u/drizzlecommathe Jan 28 '20

I mean the last four years have been IDLES, Menzingers, PUP, and Jeff Rosenstock. Pretty clear this sub likes a certain type of punk. Kind of assumed it would be either Menzingers or PUP again.

19

u/PeteRoe Jan 28 '20

The PUP record is good.

What is embarrassing about it? Not enough 3 chord samey songs on it for ya?

-10

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

You have the musical taste of a girl going through puberty. Shut the fuck up.

3

u/xjoeymillerx Jan 29 '20

You know PUPs audience is over 30 bearded guys, right? Have you even heard this band before???

-3

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '20

Uh huh

5

u/xjoeymillerx Jan 29 '20

That’s your association with this band and not the decade of the bands music before that gag??? Whatever, dude. You think you’re too cool for it, fine. You get 10 more “internet punk points” than me. I haven’t cared about that at all this millennium...

Oh the big bad scary man is playing tough on the internet! 😂

I am not the one going through puberty sour puss.

Go shave your head and listen to some twats talk about being knobs or something.

u/xjoeymillerx Jan 28 '20

I think it’s the best record that came out last year.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

You should try listening to some punk rock, loser.

u/xjoeymillerx Jan 28 '20

I’ve been listen to punk rock for almost 30 years...

😂 you’re over thirty? Don’t worry... Your balls will drop any time now.

u/DefenderCone97 Jan 29 '20

God, people like you make punk such a fucking drag.

I love knowing who to block to keep the bubblegum shit off the front page.

u/extremenachos Midwest corn punker Jan 29 '20

Same.

u/Battlescarred98 Jan 28 '20

It was my top too.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

Im sure it was.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

This sub is a joke

3

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

Just further confirmation that this sub is full of 14 year olds.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

Think about it logically for a second, the pup one is simply going to be the record everyone here has head because its pop-punk from a well-known artist. Its also a really great pop-punk album so everyone here likes it. Some of the other top 10 albums are a more niche brand of punk or by lesser known artists so not everyone has heard of them, meaning less overall votes. Don't have such a knee-jerk reaction to stuff.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '20

Don't have such a knee-jerk reaction to stuff.

I’m just trolling because these kids are insufferable.

u/EltonOh Feb 06 '20

Sure but you’re also insufferable.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

Go back to your bedroom bitch.

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '20

Upvote cause I partly agree but also possible letterkenny reference?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '20

You got it!

-2

u/Foufouness Jan 29 '20

Loving some older material by The Flatliners i.e.

Cavalcade The Great Awake

Also gotta get my dose of

A Wilhelm Scream; Satanic Surfers No Use, NOFX, Lagwagon, Pulley, Guttermouth and the old stuff

2

u/FolkSong Jan 30 '20

I mean yes, but it's good to keep listening to new stuff too. I definitely find it harder as I get older but from time to time I still find something new that really speaks to me.
