That's a far stretch from the kind of punk music I grew up on.
I guess what I considered punk growing up was a mix of punk rock, punk pop, and ska.
I suppose it changes with the generations...

While I enjoy all of the songs you mentioned in this post, I am a bit at these covers. The ones I've listened to so far seem to be lacking the certain "punkish" quality I would expect. For instance, The Clash's version of "I Fought the Law" is fucking and they managed to make it their own, but what I've seen here sound like straight up covers, which is also weird when the original band has a more punk rock attitude than the cover band.CosmoKramer wrote:

Like I said, I think what music was defined as punk changed drastically from the days of The Clash until now. I'm not saying Green Day was the definition of punk music. However, that is what it was refered to as when I was growing up. I was always aware that Green Day was something very different from true punk music. But if not punk rock, what could (note: old) Green Day be classified as?Uzique wrote:

I am in full agreement with both of you. Plus new Green Day is the faggiest, sell out shit.

I have a feeling we don't listen to the same bands, so please do elaborate with examples.eleven bravo wrote:

Also, the cover of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is actually worth a damn, whereas most of the others were utterly destroyed, e.g., "More Than A Feeling"

Yeah, I never understood what alternative was. Seeing as how the word could potentially encompass so much.eleven bravo wrote:
