Ramones, ...Pistols, Anti-Heroes, Operation Ivy, Black Flag: they were all great. However, my pick for the best punk band ever is THE MISFITS. They were just diffrent compared to every other punk band (tales of sci-fi & horror (what other punk band had went that angle)). This is music that was just relaxing (as relaxing as punk can be). In other words, you didn't need to find a message in their songs because there was none (unless you like the fact they hey like horror stories for a message). The brain child of the infamous Glenn Danzig, the Misfits' music has influenced almost every metal band as much as Black Sabbath. They may forever be underground in the world of Billboard, but every musician will think of the Misfits as legends. Thanks Glenn.
