    Okay.  I will rephrase and say that I do not like punk music at all.  I realize that a lot of people do and it clearly inspires a lot of musicians.  My thought is that it is less from a musical perspective and more so from a rebellious perspective.   Every song by the Ramones is the same.  I will say the same about Gaslight Anthem.

    My top 5 rotation of artists right now is NIN, Nick Cave,Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga and The National. Flame away :). I prefer variety.
    Variety yes!  Of the bands and music I like, some example that are the most disparate I would include:

    Albert Ayler (free jazz)
    Sandy Bull (a blend of several influences)
    Willie Nelson (country)
    Dinosaur Jr (rock)
    The Beach Boys (surf, pop)

    As for The Ramones, yeah, a lot of the songs are very similar but I wouldn't say they are all the same.  For example (and if you hate these, at least sample both songs to see what I mean):

    This conversation reminds me of when someone said all of the songs by Neil Young and Crazy sound the same.  Listen to the intro to this song for Neil's response, lol:

    There is crappy music in every era.  Punk music flat out sucks.  Is just terrible.  Jeff Ament absolutely loves it.   Whatever.

    I like the second song a lot better than the first.  My exposure to punk is the style of the first song.

    Haven't watched the video, but there's an image of Wrecking Ball in the thumbnail and... that's not a bad song... so...

    I like punk music, but I wouldn't try to convert someone who didn't. And I don't see anything wrong with your current rotation, so I waive my right to flame away. :tongue:

    I first loved hip hop from the 80s then I got into punk rock and from that into all forms of rock. Punk was my foundation to explore further.

    Seriously, I mean no offense, but you, my friend, are under-exposed! 
    But we all have differing interests, so that's cool.  And maybe someday some punk song will click for you. 

    Like maybe this classic?:

    I guess I should adjust my definition of punk to more of the style of the Blitzkrieg Bop.   London Calling is amazing and I guess I wouldn’t think of as punk but I am likely wrong in that category.  You can understand the words and melody in LC.

    Maybe I should take a dive into punk for a few weeks.
