I never in a million years thought I'd hear these bands --- MY FAVORITE BANDS --- on your channel, Rick. Especially PROPAGANDHI! Chris is such a ripper. And your comment about Lagwagon delighted me. Chris Rest and Chris Flippin play off each other so well. Bad Religion and NOFX have been my favorite bands since the first time I heard "Suffer" and "The Longest Line" many, many moons ago. Strange side note: I recently wore a NOFX shirt to a Phish show and have never gotten so many compliments on an article of clothing in my entire life, hahaha!

Loved this one. I hope we get other decades for punk AND other regions. This should have had 'North America' in the title. To add a few contenders from Australia: Bodyjar, Frenzal Rhomb, 28 Days & The Living End. All played (and some still play) the Warped Tours and similar shows down here. Frenzal even released stuff on Fat. Then there are a STACK of great 90s Swedish punks bands. I was surprised to see none of them here. So maybe a Euro version would be great: Millencolin, Hellacopters, The Hives, No Fun at All, Peepshows, Refused, International Noise Conspiracy, etc. Burning Heart Records was up there with Fat and Epitaph for me in the 90s.

MxPx's albums Life In General and Slowly Going The Way of The Buffalo were bangers. I feel Blink 182 should have been higher on the list too. It's a great list with awesome bands though!

I'm partial to "The Wars End", but really almost any song from "...And Out Come the Wolves" could make the list, one of the best albums of the 90's, or any decade for that matter. 19 songs and none of them is a stinker.

There was great punk rock outside of California in the 90s. New Bomb Turks - Cryin Into the Beer of a Drunk Man (Columbus, OH) Shelter - Here We Go (NYC) Hagfish - Gertrude (TX) The Living End - Prisoner of Society (Australia) Gaunt - 97th Tear (Columbus, OH) Supersuckers - Seventeen Poles (Tucson, AZ) The Suicide Machines - SOS (Detroit, MI) Buzzcocks - Isolation (UK) 30 Amp Fuse - Tonight (Knoxville, TN) Les Thugs - Dreamer's Song (France) Jawbox - Tools and Chrome (Washington DC) as a few examples

Musically I'm not that moved by this music, but the simplicity, makes me feel I get closer to the artists. Very unfiltered feelings. I guess that's one of the differences from regular punk, that it's not even "filtered" by the need to provoke and cause chaos.

Rick, please considering covering more punk! It's such a substantial global movement with an indelible mark on music since the 70s. Prog and metal are great, but punk also deserves way more love and recognition from the broader music world. Everything from pop to metal to alternative have been touched by it. And bands ranging from The Cure to The Police are directly shaped by the movement. More punk always welcome!

I just saw Rancid with The Bronx and Dropkick Murphy’s last weekend. it was a great show.

I absolutely loved to see this! The nostalgia was almost overwhelming. I'd love to see an actual "pop punk" list from the 90s. There's a swath of albums that came out from bands heavily influenced by the Ramones in that decade.

Linoleum has been one of my all time favorite songs since I was a small child. Punk in Drublic had a huge impact on my adolescence and possibly changed my life forever! I was getting scared that NOFX wouldn't make the list! I should've known better! Not only did they make the list but they got the right score and yall chose their best song!

Travis Barker was not the drummer on Dammit... It was Scott Raynor. He was even in the music video. Travis joined for tour after dude ranch due to Scott being in recovery for alcohol. Tom and Mark's side would be that Scott couldn't get it together while Scott's side is that he got cleaned up and they said you can't come back. If I recall correctly Tracis left the aquabats to join blink-182, or at least That's how Tom and Mark knew of Travis.
