Why aren't they number one!?!?!

The Angry Samoans are an American punk rock band from the first wave of American punk, formed in August 1978 in Los Angeles. Pioneers of American Punk. 'Back from Samoa' should be in any respectable album-collection of Punk-Rock.
29 The Vandals
30 Leftöver Crack
31 Reel Big Fish
32 Slime
Most people, outside Germany, are familiar with Die Toten Hosen and Rammstein, but Slime are the original and best German Punk-band, since '79 and still going. Many of their songs are in English, their classic A.C.A.B. has been covered by many British bands. A Punk-Anthem!
33 Goldblade
34 Argy Bargy
35 Gimp Fist
36 Daily Terror
37 Abrasive Wheels
Criminally over-looked original punk-band. I think, it's because they're from Leeds and not from London. It's nothing new, happens to so many bands from all genres.
38 On Trial UK
39 Neurotic Arseholes
40 Angelic Upstarts
In my eyes, they stand aside The Clash, Sex Pistols and The Damned, but somehow, they're always forgotten.
41 Paranoid Visions
42 Zounds
43 The Bored Teenagers
Spanish punk-band, best known as backing-group with T.V. smith, playing songs by The Adverts.
44 Dezerter
Their first album 'Underground out of Poland' is legendary.
45 In Evil Hour
46 The Swindells
47 Psycho Surgeons
I'd advice anybody to watch the mini-documentary 'One Last Stand' (on YouTube) about late frontman Wild Willie Beckett and I bet, most will get a bit wet around the eyes. A beautiful individual.
48 The Buttocks
Ignored, even in their homeland Germany.
49 Radkey
They show you that Punk is not dead. Best new band I've heard in a long time.
50 Pennywise
Awesome band but they don't get any talk compared to other punk bands - donovanthorn
