Same here, it's the only rock related genre I can't enjoy at all.

Punk is fun as hell live. You can always count on a great mosh pit, no matter how few people are there.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

To me, stuff like AC/DC and Motörhead - As well as stuff like Slayer and Cannibal Corpse all falls on the wrong side of the line between art and whatever the other thing is. Motörhead however are almost decent mainly thanks to Lemmy's vocals.

If you don't like the Clash then you honestly fail at life.

These albums were on par with Like an Ever Flowing Stream, and released at nearly the same time, but they all languished in semi-obscurity.

Unlike LAEFS, a copy of which can now be found in almost every home.

The only punk material I really enjoy is Ramones' "Loco Live" CD.

I don't even like the band, their studio albums are fucking boring, but their energy on stage was just fantastic.

 

[Life Sucks]

I'd actually rather listen to aggressive punk (ie not the pop-ish girly stuff) than classic rock.

 

[skeptik]

I didn't even know Black Mark released The Nocturnal Silence. All of those albums that you mentioned, of course, are fucking excellent.

London Calling, Rock the Casbah are cool tunes i guess.

 

[DarkBliss]

Rock the Casbah is the one that was aired on VH1 all the time. A cool song. Haven't listened to the band in ages.

 

[Einherjar86]

The Clash were good. Probably my favorite punk act. But then again, they could actually play their instruments.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Anyone agree that Watchtower has never gotten the cred they deserve? They made a big impact on technical metal but are still fairly unmentioned today by bands who owe them tons of credit.

hell yes!

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

'Control and Resistance' is one of my favorite albums. Both albums are horribly overlooked.

 

[mutantllama]

I really enjoy that Black Flag album.

I'm gonna pick it up.

Them and a bunch of other overlooked thrash acts like Coroner, Toxik, etc.

 

[whiskey funeral]

You all continue to miss the entire point of AC/DC, which is that they rock like mother-loving fuck and therefore do not need any of this diversity you keep demanding of them.

Only Bon Scott era AC/DC is worth listening to. That guy was tough as nails.

His charisma was almost the only thing holding together their early work. After he died AC/DC just never could recapture what magic they had.

 

[The Ozzman]

You have to give the band credit for finding someone who sounds very similar to their old vocalist though (given how unique Scott's voice was)

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Cutesy is definitely not one of the words I'd use to describe that song.

it's very cutesy... clapping, singing in unison, happy sounding, simlple three chord riffs... that doesn't make it bad but it doesn't sound at all 'rebellious' or threatening like punks' image makes it out to be.
