While it’s already been noted that there are numerous anthems missing from our list – no Rancid, English Dogs, NOFX, or Poison Idea! – not one of those bands would begrudge the UK Subs a place in our countdown. Psychobilly, industrial, grunge, grindcore… Hell, even electronica’s been infected! Just check out The Prodigy for evidence of that, or that stomping new single, Control, by Chase & Status! So if there’s anything to complain about here it’s that there are only 20 songs in our list, and not 2000! And before anyone suggests that we’ve forgotten some, just know that we haven’t and some of our favourites are missing too, because there’s simply not enough space. The fact is there’s barely a genre of music that hasn’t been changed by punk. Punks invented that too! How about you Google it before you start filling the comments section with complaints? Ask Metallica, Lamb Of God, Clutch, Devildriver, Fear Factory, Mötley Crüe or Machine Head. Sorry, metalheads, but a large percentage of metal bands have been influenced in some way by punk as well as Sabbath. That’s a pretty bold statement, but it’s true. It’s also likely nothing else will quite have the impact of punk.
