Rollins Band was an American rock group led by singer and songwriter Henry Rollins.
They are best-known for the songs “Low Self Opinion” and “Liar”, which both earned heavy airplay on MTV in the early 1990s. Critic Steve Huey describes their music as “uncompromising, intense, cathartic fusions of hard rock, funk, post-punk noise, and jazz experimentalism, with Rollins shouting angry, biting self-examinations and accusations over the grind.”

The Dead Milkmen is a satirical punk band formed in 1983 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band initially consisted of Joe Genaro (”Joe Jack Talcum”; guitar, vocals), Dave Schulthise (”Dave Blood”; bass), Dean Sabatino (”Dean Clean”; drums), and Rodney Linderman (”Rodney Anonymous”; vocals, synth).
In 1988 came Beelzebubba, which featured what would become the Dead Milkmen’s biggest commercial hit and best-known song, “Punk Rock Girl.” The song’s video won rotation on MTV, and was later featured on MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head show. This album was somewhat more sophisticated, technically and musically, than previous work and featured two music videos, “Punk Rock Girl” and “Smokin’ Banana Peels”. Following in this vein is 1990’s Metaphysical Graffiti, which was even more technical than the last album, but didn’t receive the same attention as Beezlebubba did. The album featured the song “Methodist Coloring Book”; the song and its music video received little rotation.
Up to this point, the band had been recording for Enigma Records and its subsidiary Restless Records. They signed with Hollywood Records, owned by Disney. Their next two albums, Soul Rotation (1992) and Not Richard, But Dick (1993), saw the further polishing of their production. However, many fans felt the band had lost its humor and vitality in an attempt to be more mainstream.

The God Awfuls are a punk rock/street punk band from Los Angeles and are currently signed to Kung-Fu Records.
The God Awfuls emerged out of a rather desolate and uncultured section of Los Angeles, a potential influence in their style choice.
Floating around between high school bands, singer/guitarist Kevin De Franco and bassist Kyle Lumsden eventually crossed paths and formed the base of The God Awfuls. A few random band members passed through before the groundwork solidified with guitarist Chris La Fave and drummer John Skelly. Luckily, the popularity of punk in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. The God Awfuls’ songs are typical punk rock, but they have considerably catchy choruses.[1] The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to “true” punks, due to attitudes towards “fake punk” all over the place.
Their debut album, Next Stop Armageddon and one such song, Watch It Fall, is featured on the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. It was produced by The Greedy Bros. (a.k.a. Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves and engineering partner-in-crime Brad Cook). The God Awfuls took a hiatus until about 2007/2008 when they were featured in the documentary “Punks Not Dead”. In July of 2008, The God Awfuls released 3 new songs on a demo.
On October 28, 2008, The God Awfuls announced on their MySpace page they would be changing their name to Brand New War.

Greg Ginn of Black Flag and SST Records produced the Minutemen’s first 7″ EP, Paranoid Time, which solidified their eclectic style. Like most Punk bands at the time, the band sold the EP at their shows, and at a few local record stores. It became a minor hit with the hardcore scene. By their first LP—1981s The Punch Line—they had found their voice and began touring nonstop around the country. They released their second EP and third overall release entitled Bean-Spill. By this time they were becoming one of the more popular bands in the underground scene around the country.

Black Flag was an American punk rock band formed in 1977 in Hermosa Beach, California. The band was established largely as the brainchild of Greg Ginn: the guitarist, primary songwriter and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes. They are widely considered to be one of the first hardcore punk bands.
Black Flag forged a unique sound early on that mixed the raw simplicity of the Ramones with atonal and microtonal guitar solos and frequent tempo shifts. The band was also known for the intense and evocative lyrics found in their songs, most of which were penned by Ginn. Like other punk bands of this era, Black Flag gave voice to an anti-authoritarian, non-conformist message, featuring songs punctuated with descriptions of isolation, neurosis, poverty, and paranoia, themes that would be explored further when Henry Rollins joined the group as lead singer in 1981. Most of the band’s material was released on Ginn’s independent label, SST Records.
Black Flag was—and remains—well respected among their underground culture, with their influence primarily in their tireless promotion of a self-controlled DIY ethic and aesthetic. They are often regarded as pioneers in the movement of underground do-it-yourself record labels that flourished among the 1980s punk rock bands. Through seemingly constant touring throughout the United States and Canada, and occasionally Europe, Black Flag established an extremely dedicated fan base. Many other musicians would follow Black Flag’s lead and book their own tours, utilizing a word-of-mouth network.
Over the course of the 1980s, Black Flag’s sound, as well as their notoriety, evolved in ways that alienated much of their early punk audience. As well as being central to the creation of hardcore, they were part of the first wave of American West Coast punk rock and are considered a key influence on the punk subculture. Along with being among the earliest punk rock groups to incorporate elements and the influence of heavy metal melodies and rhythm (particularly in their later records), there were often overt freestyles, free jazz, breakbeat and contemporary classical elements in their sound, especially in Ginn’s guitar playing, and the band interspersed records and performances with instrumentals throughout their career. They also played longer, slower, and more complex songs at a time when many bands in their milieu stuck to a raw, fast, three-chord format. As a result, Black Flag’s extensive discography is more varied than many of their punk rock contemporaries.

Well, this is just another top 10 I made, just this time it’s top 30!!!
If you don’t like my selection I will be throwing some of my favorite lyrics on your comments.
If you do, then thank you!!
No I will not put Green Day any higher or the Ramones or the Clash. I spent 3 hours making this video and I’m not going to make this over again because you don’t agree with me.
No I did not discover Gallows or the Living End from Guitar Hero, they are just good bands.
Yes, you may post your own playlist in responce or in the comments. I will not remove any bad comments just to show the public how much of an hole you can be.
Some old bands on here are Crass and The Clash.
Some 80’s stuff is Gorilla Biscuits and Circle Jerks
A whole lot of 90’s
And some good new bands
I think the quality is pretty good, not sure yet. I’m having trouble with youtube’s new uploader. And I used a mac to make this and the editing software is free, but not available for pc.
I’m kinda unhappy because I just got into the Subhumans and Adolescents and I can’t add them.
There’s always a next time though.
Sex Pistols is 31, didn’t make it to this list. Stop whining and complaining, we all have our own opinions. The constitution allows so. And if you were truly an anarchist I could post whatever the I want.
