MYM got me thinking about the various PJ songs that I would consider "punk". So I just made a quick list.

Got Some
Supersonic (not sure if this should be included or not)Gonna See My Friend
Spin the Black Circle
Comatose
Save You
Life Wasted (not sure if this should be included or not)
Save You
Get Right
Green Disease
Lukin
Mind Your Manners
Ole
Sonic Reducer (I couldn't come up with other live ones, I am sure there are plenty.

Heres what I'm looking for.

1. Songs that shouldn't be considered "punk" on this list.
2. Songs that I should add to the list, live, rare ones, others
3. the best PJ Punk song....

I'll say that " Luken" is the best, but "Comatose" is vastly underrated and should get more love in concert.

    I'd go with Brain of J hands down. I love Sonic Reducer but I wouldn't count it cause it's a cover.

    life wasted aint a punk song, even if the main riff is heavily ramones influenced.

    my vote goes to comatose

    I'm a big fan of Last Exit. Also, satan's bed has a kind of punk feel with the gang vocals.

    Busgleaguer

    I'm not a fan of the song, but it screams 'fuck you' (or says it) to just about everyone; even the fans. I say that because it's on an album that sticks out as being different (IMO), and this song is the oddest one on the album. The same could be said for Push Me/Pull Me, but I think Eddie was a lot angrier when he wrote Bushleaguer. It may not have the heavy power chords of some other songs, but it's got more attitude than most.

    not easy to draw the line between "punk rock" and "just faster rock songs", at least i'm not good with categorizing.
    i love all the faster songs, it's a close call, but i'd pick save you.
