1964  pre pre punk   easy to see how they would have been inspirational.

Was going to put the original version to this song, but there's something appealing about an acoustic punk track.

Back in like 2003 or so me a the group of usuals saw Street Dogs and Flogging Molly at The Commodore. That was a wild show, in part because as we finished the last of our pre-game 6 pack we decided to eat 2 or 3 grams of mushrooms before heading out the door. 

 

I was a little familiar with the Street Dogs music, and I didn't even really like it that much, but their live show that night was bonkers. They amped up the speed of their tracks more than I figured they would, and I was like "who in the F are these guys?", which was constantly followed up with "whose hands are these?" while I stared at my hands. That was the first, and only, time I participated in a circle pit prior to a Celtic punk show. When Flogging Molly took the stage everyone high fived, licked their wounds, beer'd up, and commenced with the Irish hee-haw. That night was an absolute blast, but like many shows of that time frame, it's a little foggy.

For me it started with Offspring.  They hit it big in 94 with Smash but I bought Ignition and their Self titled album and fell in love.  From then on I bought albums from bands on the same label, Epitaph:

 

The Offspring - Self Titled, Ignition, Smash, and Ixnay on the Hombre

NoFX - Ribbed, S&M, White Trash, So Long...

Pennywise - Self Titled, Full Circle

Social Distortion - White Light..., Heaven and Hell

 

Then I bought albums from Dexter Holland's label Nitro and Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords:

The Vandals

Good Riddance

Strung Out

Screw 32

 

On top of all that the best part of Punk was the $4 compilation CD's, I bought a ton like Honest Don's Welcome Wagon

 

Chixdggit

Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies

Gob

Sector Seven

After all that I had my fair share of punk music, the last band was At the Drive-In who I consider punk, and the two bands that spawned from ATD-I, Mars Volta and Sparta.

Pop punk.  But good pop punk.
