Not offended in the slightest.

I was joking.

[FreedomPoster]

Stop Making Sense is worth watching / listening to, if you haven’t in a while.

[ifinnegan]

They all were on that album, pretty much.

[GSWarrior]

I got as far as Crazy Little Thing Called Love….

[Dr. Sivana]

LOL! The Carpenters were kinda of like punk, they were the anti-Beatles.

Ticket to Ride

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Richie Dagger’s Crime by The Germs

[OKSooner]

Well, you got me then. :)

[TBall]

I would have thought the Violent Feemes would have made the list.

[AnglePark]

Oh, man... if you’re going to pull The Dickies out of the closet you have to mention “You Drive Me Ape (You Big Gorilla).” Classic Dickies punk.

[GSWarrior]

X
Wire
The Jam

Hello?

[OKSooner]

Indeed, my wife was grateful to me for taking her to see it at our local artsy theater.

Byrne is an artistic genius. Weird as can be, but you know what they say about creative/artistic types.

[dfwgator]

Uncontrollable Urge is the best Devo song. Great YT video of them doing it live.

[AnglePark]

Uh... “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “99 Luftballoons” and “Psycho Killer” are Punk? Meh. Not a great list, IMHO. Too much Green Day as well, and no mention of a lot of the great, early Punk pioneers/songs.

[kosciusko51]

Maybe The Jam’s early work could be considered punk, but I consider them mod revivalists. Love their music.

[Big Red Badger]

‘I walk Alone’

.
Green Day

[Dr. Sivana]

Punk influenced Fripp.

Burn Me Up I’m a Cigarette

That album (I forget its name, "Water Music"?) also had some of the experimental "mashup" stuff of the era, "NYC 3" comes to mind. But yes. "You Burn Me Up I'm a Cigarette" is pretty much straight punk.

Blister In The Sun by Violent Femmes

[Bob434]

psycho was good- and the casbah as well- good picks

[GSWarrior]

The album is called Exposure, and it’s Daryl Hall, not John Hall.

Punk is not great musicians experimenting in the studio using studio techniques. You Burn Me Up is great song but I don’t think of it as punk rock.
