Doink 18 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You talking about 1st wave stuff like The Skatalites? If so, I can't really stand too much of it either. Seriously? I f*cking love them. To each their own though. Key words there "can't stand too much." If I'm in the mood to mellow out, I'll pop them in along with Desmond Dekker, but I really can't listen for them for too long. I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites
Straznicy 25 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm the same way Doink, but I could listen to Dekker himself all night. Second Wave is a lot different, one of my favourite genres out there. Link to post Share on other sites

ToyMachine 1 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I love Cancerslug, The Misfits, The Exploited, Aus Rotten, Crass, The Restarts, Against Me!, The Casualties, Dead Kennedys, The Descendents, Flux of Pink Indians, Minor Threat, Fugazi if you consider them punk, Bad Religion, Oi Polloi and Oi N'ast. Cancerslug is one of my favorite bands and pretty much blows every other horror punk band out of the water. Streetlight Manifesto is the sh*t as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

outcest 5 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Cancerslug rocks too much ass... Battle Hymns I and II especially. Die You f*cks, Pale Moonlight, The Coulda Beens, The Beyond, Sorceress, Demighoul...lotta great tracks from them. and Streetlight Manifesto is one of the few third wave ska bands capable of producing unique sound with varying styles and influences on both their records (three if you include the remake of KN).

Dem57 6 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Awesome list Dem, Oi's always there for me when the other stuff gets way over the top. I'm here to help anyways I think most of you haven't heard any good ska so I'm going to post some links to some good ska/skinhead reggae John Holt - Reggae from the Ghetto Symarip - Skinhead Moonstomp Toots & the Maytals- 54-56 Dice the Boss - Tea House from Emperor Roscoe Tommy McCook This is just what i like, and as you can see i like instrumentals with electric organs the most, but thats the good thing with ska and early reggae, theres so much different stuff so you cant really say that you don't like it. sorry for going a bit of topic Link to post Share on other sites
Statutory Ray 1 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The Melvins albums featuring Jello Biafra on vocals are ace. Not all punk, not all metal, and just a little bit of rockabilly. The lyrics for most songs are typical Biafra; satirical, political, and with a general distaste for most of society. Probably my favorite song (off of Sieg Howdy!) is "Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)", in which Biafra lauds his former Dead Kennedys bandmates and what punk became after the fact: Punk's been dumbed downTo just another form of TV Marketed to shoppers Spoon fed cartoon rebellion like sheep Flock to worship any old school band Who cares if they still care or if they're bad Something new in town Who wants to know? And look at all the whores Reunions for wrong reasons Playing only songs from the good old days about how bad the good old days were So why not us? We don't even like this stuff no more But look at all that retro-racket cash Those dumb punk kids will buy anything We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs So we can sell them into commercials Steal the name and hit the road Trashing all our band stood for We won't rehearse, sound worse Dig up some old child star Who never learns the words Hey, we're back Show us how much you care The merch booth's right over there Buy! BUY!! And if our scam works What a band wagon it will be Malcom in the Middle in the Misfits or Mary Kate and Ashley Gary Coleman in Black Flag Courtney in Nirvana at last And Emmanuel Lewis back in action singing for the Germs When will it end? When will people see this for what it is Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief So how bout Kenny Boy Lay In Dead Kennedys Cuz those dumb punk kids Will buy anything Link to post Share on other sites

I like DK though. I don't like Biafra's post DK stuff. Oh and if you guys like punk/ska, check out the Flatliners, they've got a pretty unique sound imo, sort of a cross between hardcore and ska.

Statutory Ray 1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Biafra is just as big a hypocrite as the Dead Kennedys are. Explain? I've heard this repeatedly but nobody can really come with a good answer. Most people say he "sold out" just because he's not singing in a f*cking hardcore punk band anymore, or that he actually cares about political and social ambitions more than some sh*tty music scene. He certainly hasn't done anything out of his way to make more money or garner more attention than he deserves. Edit: And if you mean the whole lawsuit thing, that had nothing to do with Jello. His band mates sued him because he wouldn't allow songs that HE wrote and composed to be used in corporate commercials. The only way he screwed them out of money was by not letting them sell their proverbial pussies to some corporate cock to be repeatedly flogged for extra cash.

The only major movies I know of that have used Dead Kennedys songs have been released recently, and this was after the rest of the band sued Jello for supposedly withholding money (even though it was proven to be an accounting error Biafra wasn't responsible for) and acquired the rights to license the songs without Biafra's consent. And, if he were desperate for attention, it would be released on a major record label (not his own) and it'd be a Dead Kennedys song. Link to post Share on other sites

The ones prior to 1998 had to be approved by Biafra as well as the band, since the remaining members didn't have full rights to the songs yet.
