A soulless, capitalist youtube channel makes a video about it's favorite punk bands. What a time to be alive.

Watchmojo is one of least punk things ever.

Instead of “influential” I would call these the most popular and commonly referenced punk bands.

Growing up during the "punk" scene, this list is way off.

WatchMojo... They're like a person, who doesn't know shit, but still wants to talk about things it doesn't know

The most unpunk video I’ve ever seen

I am Indonesian, my top 3 favorite. 1.Ramones 2.Rancid 3.Sex Pistols

I left when dead Kennedys was placed at six,

Where the FUCK are the Misfits, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, the Clash, the Sex Pistols, and the Ramones?!?

i respectfully disagree about the misfits placement they should be in at least the top 5

I like how youve mentioned Minor Threat being influences for like 3 of these bands yet they arnt even on here. I as many others in the comments dimiss the Misfits being at number 10. top 5 easily.

Stiff little fingers? Massively underrated

They said "Minor Threat" more than any other band name and yet they didn't make the list... The fuck?

Dead Kennedys should have been in the top 5

Dead kennedys 6° ????? It's crazy

One day watchmojo will upload a video and it says: "Why Nickelback is the best metal band ever"

now HOW the FUCK is the Misfits number ten?

OK, If it was WatchMojo UK the list would be so different.

The Clash, The Ramones, and The Sex Pistols are my all time favourite 3 bands of punk. They're the true warriors of the punk era!!!!

I saw this video on June 9th, 2018. I wanted to learn more about rock and roll and Black Flag caught my eye. A year later upon graduating high school I would hear Damaged in its entirety in June 2019. Its raw power blew you apart with an intensity I hadn't heard before, not even in metal. The album was punctuated with witty lyrics of satire as well as deep emotional ones of the human condition. Henry snarled like a caged animal. I was hooked and got My War in its entirety sometime later as well as the work of the first three singers. By late July, I had heard and loved Slip It In and by the end of the year I had heard the entire catalog. I don't know what changed that summer, it just made sense

I left when the misfits was placed at 10

How are the misfits at number ten, and bands like minor threat and nofx not on here.

No matter what you think of watchmojo, this is the video that introduced 13 year old me into punk at all. I thank them for that

My personal favorite punk bands Ramones Sex Pistols The Misfits Bad Religion Dead Milkmen Frankenstein Dragqueens from Planet 13

Why in the fuck is social distortion above The Misfits

The Buzzcocks??? The Damned??? Maybe I'm just too old. I remember life before MTV.

I am inspired to rate my top 10 all time punk bands. Love to hear your reactions. 10 Black Flag 09 The Damned 08 The Ex 07 Gang of Four 06 The Stranglers 05 Dead Kennedys 04 Anti-Flag 03 Los Saicos 02 Poison Girls 01 Crass

I love how when they bring up black flag, one of the heaviest punk bands they play TV party.

I'm so glad Green Day IS NOT on this list!!!!!!!!!!!

Misfits belong at least in the top 5. 10?! Wtf

Green Day should have been somewhere in this list

Where's GG ALLIN

No Circle Jerks?!?!?

The Dead Kennedy's court case was over a poster not an album cover

Nausea, Misfits, Black Flag, Ramones and Sex Pistols are my favourite punk bands

Having Social Distortion on this list is just embarrassing

British Punk: Actual verses more Anarchistic political thoughts East Coast/L.A. Punk: Not many verses, phrases used a lot West Coast punk minus L.A.: British punk but American

I clicked off when bad brains was at seven also dead Kennedys AT 6?? AND MISFITS AT 10 im mad

Honorable mention: Death, the protopunk band from Detroit. Their 1976 album showcased a fusion of punk and some progressive rock.

Where’s the Germs or Minor Threat on this list?! Not even an honorable mention for these guys wtf!!

misfits should be above 10 they are so influential they not only inspired punk bands but also metal bands

Dead Kennedy singer doing his best Iggy impersonation.

Crass?..... Wait... I bet most of you reading these comments don't even know who Crass are🤔

I think that the misfits should be higher on the list

"punk" fans be like: "wheres Blink 182, Good Charlotte and Green Day."

What Death? They were doing proto-punk years before just about anyone else.

You missed a load stranglers /the damned / uk subs /x ray specs /Tom Robinson trb / Elvis Costello / and public image.

DAMNED?????????

Sex Pistols only made one good record in my opinion.

That is the most anti punk title on the planet.

Let's face it, we all clicked on this with foreboding.

why the fuck is Misfits 10? they should of been top 5

Misfits being number 10 is a joke.

The Sex Pistols are the most influential punk band! Nevermind the Bollocks is the greatest punk album ever made and one of the greatest of any genre. That album and that band has influenced more bands than anyone else on this list. I also know the Pistols were the reason most of the bands I listen too, were formed in the first place. Love The Clash and The Ramones but they ain't The Sex Pistols.

#1 = whatever kids are in their garage figuring it out right now

Unpopular opinion: Dead Kennedys are better than any, tied with Ramones, Clash is right below, then Sex Pistols.

Minor Threat?

5. Blink-182 4. Jam 3. Clash 2. Ramones 1. Green Day

Absolutely brilliant everyone mentioned deserves to be on this list

All these pop punk kids showing up thinking green day and blink-182 should be on the list. Don't get me wrong, I love both of those bands but the fans have to know their place. There's a difference between pop punk and punk. Also, misfits and dead kennedys should've been higher up on the list

THE CLASH!!!

The Clash only has 1 album that could be considered punk. Way back when they were a garage band. In the early 80's there was a good chance I saw the bands10 through 7 in one night at one venue. Throw in MDC, T.S.O.L., Circle Jerks, Christian Death, the thrash punk scene was awesome in L.A..

1.Misfits 2.Dead Kennedys 3. Black Flag 4. Bad Brains 5.Minor Threat 6.The Cramps 7. The Exploited 8.The Ramones 9.The Accused/GBH 10.Dead Milkmen/Serial killers 2.

Me *sees misfits at number ten* flips table and walks away

Misfits and Dead Kennedy's are my favorite punk bands.

IGGY IS MY FAVORITE

THE EXPLOITED??

wheres descendents

GREEN FUCKING DAY?! DO THEY MEAN NOTHING TO THIS LIST???!

1. The Ramones 2. The Clash 3. Sex Pistols 4. Misfits 5. Iggy & The Stooges 6. Black Flag 7. Minor Threat 8. Descendents 9. Dead Kennedys 10. Bad Brains

The Adicts, Cock Sparrer,Angelic Upstarts, Major Accident, The Exploited, Oi Polloi, GBH, UK Subs, Cockney Rejects, The Business. This is punk rock.

10. Minor Threat 9. Minor Threat 8. Minor Threat 7. Minor Threat 6. Minor Threat 5. Minor Threat 4. Minor Threat 3. Fugazi 2. Minor Threat 1. Minor Threat

Attention everyone calling 5SOS punk rock. Please stop talking they are no were punk rock it offensive to call them punk please stop call them that

Top 7 1.The Ramones,2.The Misfits,3. The Cramps 4.Samhain,5.The Stooges 6. The Addicts,7. The Dickies

What if Iggy & the stooges didnt do music? No ramones no sex pistols no punk. Iggy created punk attitude and punk music in 1969 and he deserves to be at number one

bad religion #8?!?! come on now

Misfits are 10# ?? They should Be In top 3 !!!

The fact that Crass isn't #1 or even on this list, tells you everything you need to know about this list

Wow no exploited nor suicidal tendencies?

Feels like they just googled punk bands and picked 10 random bands.

Descendents?????

WHERE.IS.THE.EXPLOITED? This puny list is the equivalent of that nerdy kid in high school trying desesperately to fit in ...

In my opinion (not saying it’s objective at all). 1: the ramones 2: the misfits 3: the descendants 4: dead Kennedys 5: the clash 6: the damned 7: black flag 8: discharge 9: minor threat 10: the germs

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made Fer Walkin. "I am the anti-christ..." is one of the best opening lines of punk.

For those who call Green Day Pop Punk they aren’t, they are more Alternative Rock

German punk "Toxoplasma" (I'm German), and internationally it's Sex Pistols, The Clash, Generation X, Social Distortion and The Ramones!

1. The Clash 2. Ramones 3. Sex pistols 4. The Stooges 5. Buzzcocks 6. Wire 7. Television 8. Joy Division 9. Minutemen 10. X

Leave it to watchmojo to play some of the worst songs by some of these bands. Should have played some Bad Brains off their self titled. And Misfits all the way at number 10? Some would argue they had a bigger impact than Black Flag even. And Social D are cool but I’d throw in Descendents, Minor Threat, Agnostic Front, or the Exploited over them.

1.Dead Kennedys 2. Bad Religion 3. Black Flag 4. Misfits 5. Minor Threat 6.Youth of Today 7. Uniform Choice 8. Battalion Of Saints Lots of bands put out 1 great record. There are other good bands that are more on the Pop side. This is only my opinion of what I liked.

Here's my Top 10 best punk bands. 10) Dropkick Murphys 9) The Offspring 8) Dead Kennedys 7) The Damned 6) Bad Brains 5) Black Flag 4) Iggy Pop and the Stooges 3) Misfits 2) Sex Pistols 1) The Ramones

Top 3. 3. Sex Pistols 2. The Clash 1. The Damned Period.

Where the fuck are minor threat, nofx, the offspring?

Bad Brains above everyone else! The talent, energy, and image of that band is unparalleled!

Dead Kennedys is number 1 in my list

Black Flag was probably the first real punk band I went to see. It was awesome. Masonic Temple Binghamton New York

Where's Agnostic Front, Suicidal Tendencies, X Ray Spex, The Slits, Suicide, New York Dolls, Generation X, The Damed, Patty Smith…So many punk bands that most people have never heard of.

where is stiff little fingers

The two "youngest" bands are Bad Religion and Social Distortion, who started in the 80s. I guess there haven't been many punk bands formed in the past 25-30 years that would hold up to the old bands. As a young person, I grew up with Deutschpunk, which is a universe in itself and doesn't get out of the German speaking countries. One of my all time favorite bands are Stiff Little Fingers from Northern Ireland.

Why is NOFX not on any of these lists?

The clash>Sex Pistols don't get me wrong I like em both but come on
