I'm really into Punk-Rock! I've been listening to blink-182 for 7 years now and I really love them.
I also like sum 41 so I thought whether you guys have any favorite punk band or you just don't listen to that kind of music ?
I don't know if many people would call those bands punk, though they were like my old favorites years ago.
I really like anti-flag as a punk band.
Yea, I would have to agree, those bands are a little soft to really be considered punk. I really like the voodoo glow skulls, and the misfits, to name a few.
They are mainly from my country so you wont know them (im from Poland) but either i dont think that Blink 182 is a punk-rock band 
Hmm, Offspring for sure, but I'm nopt listening to any of punk bands at present.

nah they aint punk bands, they aremore like pop-punk,
if you want to listent o some proper punk try, BAd Religion, Rancid, for just a couple,
or you could try more Oi! style stuff the likes of ****** sparrer, argy bargy.
all goodI don't listen to any tru punk band, just a couple of it's sub-genres. Aktiv Dödshjälp is crustpunk, for example. And a lot of Hardcore bands.

That's a pretty good one.Agent Orange could be an example?
The Stooges, now that's the punk! The guys were playing even before Sex Pistols (first album released in 68').
I like old school Mxpx - mostly pre-The Everpassing Moment.
And I don't mind their latest album either.

The Stooges are awesome. 
Raw Power is pretty much the best song ever.
Oh, and other good punk bands: Latterman, The Descendants, Screeching Weasel, Jawbreaker, The Ergs, The Queers... And they're all kinda pop-punk so if you like Blink and Sum-41 I guess you would like them.I think I started listening to Punk-Rock in 2005, accidentally found a song, since then it's become my favourite gender. It’s difficult to say who I like the most because I usually like different songs.
There is a great misunderstanding about punk. If you call a band punk, not only it's sound must be "punky". Punk ideology is always ignored and punk is always genre of Green Day and Offspring. No, hell no. None of them are punk, all of them are ideologically idiots. MTV stars can not be punk.
What is punk then? The Dead Kennedys is punk. Sex Pistols is also punk. You can find lots of street punk bands on the internet too. My punk band favorites are The Casualties and Propagandhi. Propagandhi's lyrics are really good!
New Found Glory is definately my favorite punk band along with Blink 182 which i guess they could be considered punk-pop now when you compare them to what exactly punk was when it first started.
Jimmy Eat World, and before that Relient K.
Blink 182 and Sum 41 are good, but I've never been particularly inspired to delve deeply into their stuff.
I don't really dislike Blink-182 or Sum 41, but it's nothing I'd call punk
Punk bands I like.. for sure Bad Religion, I like their choral singing, but sometimes it seems to me that the songs sound too similar. Anti-Flag was the first punk band I listened to, I like the way how they're politically involved - less "****** the government" (if you disregard the old, old albums), more "do something against it".
I also like Rancid, but I can't really say what genre it is. Of course I consider it punk, but the singing style is a bit unusual, at least in "Indestructible", but that doesn't mean that I don't like it 
I like the ska-influences and the singing style. | revani wrote: |

That is for sure. I agree with you, the one thing that alot of these bands people are calling "punk rock" are missing is the "punk" part of the equation. It's not just a sound or type of music, it is a lifestyle, and a form of social rebellion, it's lashing out at the man and being different. It's "not" making commercial jingles that they use in Starbucks commercials, or wearing the latest Gap fashion trends on stage.
for refrence labeling that music as punk:
...... is like calling Kenny G a rock musician.
...... is like saying milli vanilli were talented singers.
...... is like saying that metallica is death metal.
...... is like putting vanilla ice in the same catagory as 2-pac, or method man.
...... is against everything that punk stands for in the first place.
I am not trying to bag on anyones musical taste, after all who am I to judge what you listen too. I just don't think that most of the music mentioned should be placed in the same catagory as punk. Please forgive my little rant my friend and I were arguing on the subject just the other day, and it's still bugging me a little.Well, Ramones rock. So do Blink, Green day on their early times and Offspring.
I just bought Propaghandi's Less Talk More Rock and Bad Brain's first record. Both are so good in different ways. <3
Favorite punk band would have to be Anti-Flag
Same as everyone else really. I love Blink 182, New found Glory, Sum 41 and all of those type bands. But they really are a POP version of punk.
I'de say for more punk like bands i like NOFX and The Descendants the most. Ahhhh I most of the modern bands!
They are just not what I call punk, I don't like Rancid or Anti flag or the softer "punk" bands like offspring and so on....
I like the older stuff....
