Most Talented Punk Rock Bands

To those who are blowing up the Ramones section (note that I do love the Ramones) but punk rock is not one entity, it has variance just like any genre of music. Some are more hardcore punk, some are surfer punk, some are more slow-tempo and melodic... Punk is not a sound in every case, it's a way of life & it's a message. That being said... This isn't a list ranking the BEST PUNK ROCK BANDS... It's just the MOST TALENTED... Listen to the progression of every Green Day record compared to the Ramones... Green Day wins this one, no contest.

P.S. my Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, & Sum 41 should definitely not be in the top 5. My Chemical Romance isn't exactly punk, they have punk influences and are an extremely talented group but they often delve much more into alternative rock. Simple Plan is closer to being pop and Sum 41 has a lot to prove with the other groups on the list such as The Ramones, The Offspring, etc.

1039 sosh had some of the best solos billie ever played and also uno
They just blow your mind
And mike dirnt deserves credit for creating "longview" which is one of their absolute best

Amazing band! Not fake, incredible live. Billie Joe Armstrong is the best vocalist I have ever heard. In ny opinion best band in the world. Strong band kept together and had faith even when Billie was in rehab. Keep a crowd entertained and interact with them.

Travis barker s drumming is just way too amazing! This band has a great chemistry they started playing music together since college their side project shows how talented they are! Long live blink!

Blink-182 is better than My Chemical Romance

Although Sum 41 doesn't have a Grammy, BUT all the solos they made are SO FREAKY, I LOVE THEIR SOLOs!

There need be no argument

Guys guys guys guys... They said talented, not your personal preference!

The offspring is an amazing band with a wide variety of sounds in their music, they should be higher on this list

One of the best punk bands I've EVER HEARD! Come on, you can't hate on these guys! Listen to dear maria count me in.

From the list offered here and the voting... Not many understand what punk rock really is... How sad...

They created punk-rock music... They are the kings of punk so they should be first!

This list isn't really good, only the Ramones are really punk

Should be #1. No explenation why. They are just very talented.

I agree completely. They experimented more in two albums (London Calling, Sandinista! ) then other bands do in their entire careers

How is the clash not at number one! In what sad world is Green Day punk. My chemical romance is crap compared to the clash, ramones and the sex pistols. Those who are voting either don't know what punk is or are twelve year olds who like to think they know punk when in reality they like modern rock bands.

The song that intorduced me to them was Welcome To The Black Parade. Its a massive shame that they broke up this year

Please vote for my idols

Oh Please Guys what?
Green Day? They can barely reach the 20th spot or something!

The best punk band ever!

There are no words to describe how amazing they are! I am in love with them! They sound beyond amazing! Brendon Urie has the best voice EVER! And Ryan Ross wrote the best song lyrics ever on their first album (my favorite) "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out". Well, without Ryan they still write amazing songs, and I am thrilled to say that they are releasing a 4th album in 2013, but no date has been set yet!

They have such a unique style, and sound! You can't find anything like them in any other band, and I can't get enough of them! They are so amazing that their very first album (my favorite one) was an amazing success! Each song tells an amazing story, and the poet/ lyricist hides behind the guitar. Despite losing half of their members, they pulled through and produced more albums, still amazing! They will never be forgotten or broken! I <3 P! ATD
