Why are The Dead Kennedys the best punk band?

I will forever love DK but as far as "Best Punk Band" goes it's close but I'd say they're about neck-and-neck with Black Flag

>not minor threat

>implying the best punk band would be american

too preachy desu

If you're talking english punk, eeehhhhhhhhh. You'd have an argument with Buzzcocks or The Damned, maybe, or Cock Sparrer, but other than that....There were some great english punk bands but I don't think anybody permeated the underground as well as the great US bands. Plus. the Ramones were arguably the first actual punk act in the first place

Also, Sex Pistols and The Clash are most definitely not GOAT

>the Ramones were arguably the first actual punk act in the first place

Except they weren't at all, you mong.

they're not the first band with the elements/attitude of punk rock but they're *arguably* the first time that all of those things were in one place

Only real punks make synth-heavy Devo spoofs

Would be the New York Dolls

No offense to the Dead Kennedys, but I am fucking tired of these "Le funni sarcastic parody songs"

I see where you're coming from but I would argue that while NYD's impact on punk rock is undeniable, they weren't very reflective of what punk has become/come to be known for. They were very glammy.

Nevermind. I thought the whole song was gonna be like the first minute.

The Ramones had the sound and look, but they never had the so-called "attitude." They weren't even as attitudinally punk as Green Day.

Dead Kennedys are cringy tuneless shit

The best punk band is the Ramones.
They embodied the bratty, sarcastic, vaguely amoral, smart-people-pretending-to-be-dumb aesthetics of early punk. What, are they not harxxxcore enough for you? Punk was never really an attitude, it was a movement that died in 81 or so

>The Ramemes
wow, hows highschool going?

True they wrote a lot of fun, poppy songs and that's what they're known for primarily, a good chunk of their songs are actually about some rather harsh realities of their surroundings, 53rd and 3rd, for example. And that's what punk is about a lot of the time, it's honesty and straightforwardness about your life and the situation at hand. They also wrote what is, to me, one of the best political punk songs ever, Bonzo Goes to Bitburg.

Both bands sound exactly the same. But Dead Kennedys are at least edgier and more interesting,

DK is way better Black Flag but Siege is better than both of them combined.

Do you mean best pop punk band?

DK had all the energy and political anger, without being open enough that they'd get silenced by larger audiences like some punk bands.

Also it's not fair to say that punk died in the 80's when there are about a million active punk groups, even if a lot of those take more inspiration from hardcore than they do the bands that came before that. Not to mention bands like NOFX and Against Me are still hugely popular today whilst *mostly* staying outside the mainstream, which punk usually tries to avoid (yeah, of course, Green Day and Blink didn't, but those are exceptions, not the rule).

Siege is great indeed, but when it comes to powerviolence my favorite has got to be Spazz.

But when I mean "best punk band of all time", I'm not just talking about which bands I prefer, I'm also factoring in the impact that those bands had in the punk rock scene. So while you might prefer Siege over both DK and BF, you can't say they're more influential. Though Siege does have it's fair share of influence.

the ramones were the first pop punk band

those are still punk bands, no?

I really think that their last two albums got really preachy and bland. I'm saying this as a person who really enjoys there first two.

>not enjoying Bedtime or Give Me Convenience
Frankenchrist was pretty okay and Fresh Fruit is pretty bland

Crass, exploited, or discharge in my opinion would be or should be regarded as the goatest

Definitely not The Exploited.

>Muh proto bands
But everytime no one mentions mc5 nor stooges in thier proto wank off

no, they're pop bands with punk elements

We've got a bigger problem now is one of my favorite punk songs ever honestly, even though I wouldn't consider DK my favorite, TSOLs got that covered

Descendents were the first Pop Punk band.

But there are better American punk bands, septic death, accused and poison idea

Albums Greatest To Worst
Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death
Frankenchrist
Bedtime For Democracy
Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
In God We Trust Inc
Milking The Sacred Cow
Everything Else

Ah shit, I forgot about Crass. They would probably be a good contender for goat punk band

Why is that faggot skips mcskips singing in DK?

>Ramones write blitzkrieg bop released in 1976
>Descendents form in 1977
ok, user

I made my three choices based on influence and reception in the scene.
My personal top 3 are discharge, disorder and amebix, my crust forefathers

punk music is pretty irrelevant to anything in 2016 let it go. i aint just saying that to woo only listen to whats trending. i say it to say it was a statement, it shocked people and now it's over like kant or exposing a succubus' heel in public
