Hey how come I never noticed this thread?!? I was BIG into punk in the early 80's and being from California I've seen all the great California band many many times -
Circle Jerks
Dead Kennedys
Minor Threat
MDC
FEAR
Social Distortion
Black Flag
Flipper

and other non-California bands like DOA, GBH, JFA, Minor Threat, Die Kruezen.

And yes Bad Religion is too punk rock!

Ahhh, those were the good old days (that I was lucky to live through, lmao).. What is hilarious is now my teenager loves Death Metal and of course I find myself saying old lady stuff like "Ugggg how can you listen to that garbage?? It all sounds the same! All they do is scream and you can't understand them!" & "No, you can't wear that scary T-Shirt with devil skeleton thingie on it to the family party!" "When are you gonna get a haircut?"
I ended up selling my old record collection on EBAY to finance a Vegas trip, lol... I got $80 each for a couple of old 45s!
