For some reason, I'm in a punk mood today, flame away.

[crusty old prospector]

Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie and the Banshees.

[dfwgator]

Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized

[dfwgator]

The Clash - Train In Vain

[odawg]

“Best” and “punk” are a contradiction in terms and should never appear together.

[CletusVanDamme]

They omit “ What Do I Get” by the Buzzcocks and put a lot of non-punk/ post-punk dreck on it. Waste of time

[Gay State Conservative]

I’m only familiar with two: Psycho Killer and Rock The Casbah. Psycho Killer is pretty good.Casbah is one of my all time favorite songs.The video is great too!

[TheWriterTX]

Sorry, any punk list that does not include “World Destruction” by Afrika Bambaataa and Johnny Lydon and “Instutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies is lame.

99 Luftballoons by Nena? Queen? Ah, heck no!

This writer missed the mark.

Tell them to meet me in the slam pit. I’ll dust off my combat boots.

I love Queen but in no way was Crazy Little Thing Called Love a punk song.

[ifinnegan]

Clickbait stuff, but that’s the idea. There’s no best punk songs, but it’s fun to talk about it and see lists we won’t agree with.

And a lot of these songs aren’t punk. Queen? It is true that Queen would never have a song like that if not for punk, but it’s not “a punk song.”

Greatest punk songs are generally more obscure than these, but some of them are valid, First two of course.

[MD Expat in PA]

Early Blondie was very punk

[captmar-vell]

London Calling would’ve been my #1

Also Ramones Pet Cemetery would be somewhere on the list.

[dfwgator]

Punk Rock Girl - The Dead Milkman

[dfwgator]

Tattooed Love Boys - The Pretenders

[CivilWarBrewing]

‘Dance with Me’ by T.S.O.L belongs on the list as well

[nickcarraway]

No Carpenters?

[Robert DeLong]

The Offspring have lots of great songs as well.

The Offspring - Dividing By Zero/Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing & Rides The Bomb To Hell

The Offspring - Pretty Fly For A White Guy

The Offspring - Want You Bad

The Offspring - Self Esteem

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright

They have plenty more beyond these 5 I am presenting

[dfwgator]

Circle Jerks - Jerks On 45

[plain talk]

Crazy little thing called love? 99 luftballoons?

Bunch of non punk songs on this list.

[dfwgator]

My Way - Sid Vicious

[nickcarraway]

I don't know if it would be considered "best," but years ago they had a list of "conservative songs," and one of them is Bodies by the Sex Pistols, which is clearly an anti-abortion song. It makes it sound as ugly as it is.
