100 best punk songs - the up to date list
by Michele Christopher

Hey, turtle is unavailable at the moment and I'm bored. So I've put the work-in-progress list of 100 best punk songs that we have so far in one convenient place, just so you can see at a glance what's there in case you want to send your own songs in to us, or just mock the list or yell at us for what we missed so far or question what we call punk or completely agree with us (I suggest that one) or whatever.

Songs are markes: (T)-turtle (M)-me, (R)-reader entry.

Remember, you can still get in on the list. Just send us your songs along with a short blurb about each. No more than three, please. Contact info in sidebar.

Links to the lists are in the sidebar in case you want the downloads, or want to read the explanation of why each song was chosen. Also, don't forget there's going to be a huge poll thing going on at the end and we're gonna place these fuckers in some kind of order.

Comments

Hard to believe that not one Stiff Little Fingers song made the list..."Fly the Flag" or "Tin Soldiers" for instance. Just a thought.

this isn't michele and turtles list, this is all of our list.

write up a review and send it to us and it will be on. Pick two more songs you thought we forgot and kick out a review.

we can fight about the order at the end with a poll. but we are getting there fast so if you want something included, send it to us with a few sentences on how you feel when you hear the song.

and it will be up

Some great stuff there. Though I don't
see that Accused song fitting in too well.
It's good, but knowhere near as good or
"punk" as their earlier stuff IMO. Damn,
now I need to bust out that vinyl.

Dreams and Desires by the Lords of the New Church bring back a lot of memories.
