USA examples:
The Misfits
The Ramones
The Germs
Black Flag
Bad Religion
FEAR
Dead Kennedys
Circle Jerks
DOA
UK Examples:
Sex Pistols
The Damned
The Clash
Exploited
Which side was better?
Personally I chose the US, I love the Ramones and I've recently found out how much I enjoy The Misfits, and the only part that made it a tough decision for me was the fact that the UK has The Damned.
What does everyone else think?

I'll stick to the UK scene due to the 80s, cause they own The Angelic Upstarts, The Adicts and The Damned (from the 70s of course), although i like a lot of the USA thingies around!

It's hard to choose, but I voted US, mainly because The Ramones are the only punk band I can never get tired too. But overall, the whole punk/punk-rock and later on punk scene was much more appealing in UK to me. If I could go back in the furture I would definately choose the late 70s/early 80s in the UK.

I'm voting USA, Because of one band, that was not on the USA List..The Dead Boys.

UK punk, though I love loads of the US bands - Dead Kennedys and The Misfits especially. Why UK? Two bands - Crass, and Conflict. Anyone who likes punk needs to hear (and read the lyrics of) "The Ungovernable Force". Plus, I was down the front at nuff punk gigs when I was 15/16 and it was a formative experience. Oh yeah, and Discharge. And Amebix. Also, Napalm Death - I know they're not punk any more but they were at first, and when "Scum" came out I'd never heard anything like it. Down the front again, oh yes...
---- Yeah. No. Wait, what was the question?

Written by mojo on 23.03.2012 at 21:01 I'll give you that those two bands are reallllly fucking good. I have most their works and enjoy them all quite a bit. Fuck I love punk! I obviously love Napalm Death, but they will forever be classifies as grind too me.

I like the aggression of the USA scene more, there are some UK bands that I enjoy but overall i prefer USA. This is also because the USA had several different regional scenes with unique sounds due to the sheer size of the country, the UK is smaller so there is less diversity.
