1. Londons calling....the clash
2. wasted life.........stiff little fingers
3. guitar and drum....stiff little fingers
4. clampdown.......the clash
5. jesus of suburbia.....green day
6. thousands are sailing.....pogues
7. londons burning...the clash
8. holidays in the sun......sex pistols

I just cringe when green day or any modern pop act makes the list

Re: your top 10 punk songs of all time

I am a uncureable Classic rock, Metal & Blues fan so at the risk of being stoned (and I don't mean high) I would not have one. Although since someone mentioned iggy & the stooges I have heard and like love injection off the shocker sound track.

Re: your top 10 punk songs of all time

yeah the drop kick murphys.
I think they should deserve a place in my top ten too, but there are so many that should be in my top ten. I never really thought about it after seeig some of the great songs that people have been posting.
But for the drop kicks,
the entire album of "the rriors code), I still listen to this at least twice a mont since it came out and I cannot get sick of it. Sunshine highway oe captain kelly's kitchen has to be the bst on that album.
And their encore ballad " kiss me I'm shitfaced" is truelly a classic punk ballad,lol

But their version of fields of athenry I got to admit, is nearly as good as my version of it,lol.

Re: your top 10 punk songs of all time

except for the Sex Pistols, I am not able to make a list, even having almost the same age of the original PUNK performers. I think it was a special period, and I preferred the "good old groups" like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin. I do remember me "historic, or hilarious quotes concerning other groups, accusing them as money machines. But I am convinced that it was a special "era" from 1975 up to 1985 where people start talking about new wave
