7beach77

Best Group ever heard. They put time into what they write which is pure genius.

SmallSteps3000

Rise Against is amazing! Can’t be beat! Don’t understand why some people don’t like them I can’t see anything wrong with this band... definitely #1

bnee921

bmsn14319


Vote for My Chemical Romance 4) My Chemical Romance

Maybe not most popular but by far the best.

Cbatower

they have such a great message even though people think they are an emo band but they’re not

Best band ever! Love their lyrics!


Vote for The Ramones 5) The Ramones

Real punk rock is too hardcore for your feeble little minds.

Edric313

Green Day, MCR, blink182 are great bands but they are pop punk the ramones are a real punk rock band they’re amazing

rodoglez11

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! The Ramones are the greatest punk band ever period!

idso27


Vote for sum 41 6) sum 41

sum 41, hands down.

xXsKaTExHaRdCoReXx

one of the best bands ever

farhanbash

Avenged Sevenfold should be on this list, but other than that sum41 rocks!-listen to No Reason

tyrantassassin


Vote for Simple Plan 7) Simple Plan

They off the charts dude they have to be no. one especially their new album is really amazing

rohitv92

I love Simple Plan. They’re songs are great and Pierre’s voice is amazing. Love ya SP!

AMAZING!!!!!!


Vote for Sex Pistols 8) Sex Pistols

No doubt best ever punk rock band bar none

as far as influential goes, the sex pistols are it.

madcowsarecrazy

Barely any of these bands are punk. most are just emo, indie and poprock or summat. Greenday? What?! Punk is stuff like Sex pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, not indie bands like sum 41!

Cantonez


Vote for The Misfits 9) The Misfits

created horror punk I’m sorry most bands here arent punk!

blaqksails92

Misfits have always and will always be better than any other punk rock band and I think they should atleast do better than My Chem there the ones that remade the misfits song astro zombies and MCR’s version sucked ass get the misfits higher on the bord VOTE!

between jerry’s thrashing bass, and danzig’s bellowing melody, this is truelly one of the greatest punk bands of all time, who created a genre. sure your MCR can cover AstroZombies, but this wont lessen the shine of the original founders of horror punk.


Vote for The Clash 10) The Clash

This band is better than green day and Blink 182 (all though Blink 182 are an ok bad)

rockisgood

This poll said PUNK ROCK not POP PUNK, so the only real punk bands in the top 10 are the The Clash, Ramones, The Sex Pistols and The Misfits

hockeyrocks57

the clash should be #1 cause them and the ramones invented punk rock

They should be number one!
Half the bands on here are not even true punk, it’s freakin’ appalling! Paramore is not punk, MCR is not punk, FOB is not punk. Gosh! WTF people?

The Dead Kennedys had the best lyrics and the best music. Their singer is freakin awesome. Dead kennedys should at least be in the top 10. 21? You people have no taste.

NicePants

They were the political band of the 80’s, covering everything from corrupt politicians, police brutality, the worst places on Earth, and how hard MTV sucks. Jello was one of the most intelligent singers ever, and they just kick you in your mouth with words, no comparison.

derek84

Bunch of posers must be voting on this.How are those preppy little pop-punk bands ahead of bad brains and black flag who are both great bands.Good charlotte is not punk rock! Its corporate pop and so is simple plan, blink 182, sum 41, boys like girls, yellowcard, taking back sunday and the majority of these bands ahead of bad brains. I dont think there the best but there top 25 hands down. All those bands I mentioned are just abunch of 20 year old millionairs whinning about there make believe problems and that girl who didnt go to the prom with them because she thought you were a dork. Get over it you losers. How is good charlotte even on here? Brittney Spears is more punk than them.
