The list is better on the ramones and pistols (and great to see x-ray spex), but it's as if there's no real love for early punk, unless it's a one-off goofy hit or at a point where the band tamed down a bit. I am happy to see 80's by killing joke, though.</p> The picks for older punk bands are either cliche (tv party for black flag, holiday in cambodia for dead kennedys, institutionalized for suicidal, bitchen camero for dead milkmen)or mid to late career period (x, the clash, social distortion, pretenders, meat puppets, husker du).

In a good way.</p> While I feel the same way about bands from my youth seeming trite and lame nowadays (can you hear me, The Nixons?), I have to say that Hum still makes me want to go out there and blow something up.

It was restricted to the songs that would've played on my suburban "modern rock" station between 92 and 98 (middle school - high school), so I don't think the majority of the songs would even make this type of canon. I actually found myself digging up the blatant cash-in one-hit wonders and post-grunge also-rans more than the "great" songs of the period.</p> @owenmeany: Actually, I just put together a list of “90s Alternative Awesomeness.” It was restricted to the songs that would’ve played on my suburban “modern rock” station between 92 and 98 (middle school – high school), so I don’t think the majority of the songs would even make this type of canon.
