Post your favorite punk/rock bands!

I need some new music to listen to, something following the lines of millencolin, a new found glory, the atari's, mxpx, yellowcard, etc.

Got any suggestions?

[vgarcia]

I listen to old(er) punk: NOFX, Bad Religion, No use for a name, etc.

Off Topic:

Yellowcard's not punk

[platinum]

Yeah I know, hehe, it's fairly close though - what category would you put it in? (alternative?)

[coo_t2]

Misfits.

If radio play is any indicator, it should be in "pop"

[bo5ton]

Jimmy Eat World and their latest album "Futures" is absolutely awesome! Highly recommended!

Some more obscure punk if you want to do a little searching (or just head on over to Fat Wreck Chords):
Propaghandi
Diesel Boy (there are two of these: a punk band and a drum and bass DJ, so be careful when you buy CDs but both are good anyway)
Bracket

[The New Guy]

Propaghandi = Horrible.

[vgarcia]

Propaghandi = Horrible.

If you don't like vegans from Winnipeg then yeah. They have a couple of good songs though, mostly from about 10 years ago.

[Impulse]

"Mate Ka Moris Ukun Rasik An" is by far their best song... Actually - All of "Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes" is good.

[Impulse]

The Killers

Ha.. The Killers aren't pop-punk ... they're total indie.

[The New Guy]

Whatever that means

[Hartmann]

Nirvana, not really punk but 'Bleach' is close enough
Mudhoney
Sex Pistols
Rise Against (not really punk either but eh...)

[Impulse]

Whatever that means

Indie has developed itself into a genre - Just as pop has, and punk has.

[thebeave]

Just go ahead and go with Nirvana, you'll be happy.

[Virakor]

Well for some good rock bands:

Incubus - Check out everything although if you new to them stick with Make Yourself, Morning View, and A Crow Left of the Murder

Foo Fighters - Honestly the only true rock band left in the world IMHO

Weezer - I wouldn't know how to classify them but they are good anyways

Red Hot Chillie Peppers - Good stuff.

[pfitz]

Yeah thursday, thrice and lost prophets are all sounding good at the moment.

But the Killers have really impressed me - some nice influences in that band (joy division, smiths etc) and great songs

[nick0161]

staind, jet ! if you want something a lil bit more rock!

[Impulse]

On that note, check out Jet Set Satellite as well. Also - Ludo, and Deville.

Edit: And vinnie - since when have Fat Wreck bands been obscure
