Thorp and Sailor's Grave Board

Best scene overall

Which scene do you think has put out the best bands over the years, including punk, hardcore, and oi!

Ten years ago, I would have said New York in a heartbeat. These days, looking back over the last 30 years, I have to go with Boston.

texas is not on this list and should be

SS76 - 5-23-2008 at 07:08 PM

Billy Milano does mention the Texas scene on Alphabet City Stomp.....(best M.O.D. song since A.I.D.S)

From these choices I would say Boston, but I really like a lot of stuff from all over the place and a lot of my favorites come from nowhere near any of these cities. I guess Midwest would include some of the ones I was thinking of, but it seems a bit odd to name off a bunch of cities and then have a big region thrown in there. Also, I know you being Canadian means you feel a need to throw something in from up there, but is there really enough from out that way for it to even compete?

And Steve is right, Texas should really be on the list. Just off the top of my head, you've got Big Boys, Dicks, DRI, Really Red, MDC, and The Offenders.

i have to say boston but i'm a lil biased

JawnDiablo - 5-23-2008 at 07:13 PM

i never been in any of them places except NY for a minute and the beer was expensive....

Vancouver but no Montreal or Toronto? :o

Discipline - 5-23-2008 at 08:39 PM

I should have included Texas. I didn't think there should be too long which is why I skipped the rest of the world. I meant to add "other" as an option but forgot.

As for Vancouver, I think Dayglo Abortions, DOA, Subhumans, Pointed Stix, etc deserve mention amongst others.

Boston has better Punk, but I gotta go with NY for Hardcore.

i have to give props to dc's scene though. i have quite a few friends from that area.

Seattle has the best grunge

tireironsaint - 5-25-2008 at 01:13 PM

Seattle should've kept that shit to themselves.

SS76 - 5-25-2008 at 02:14 PM

Didn't Seattle die at the end of the 90s?

barc0debaby - 5-25-2008 at 02:37 PM

The best scene is the one you come from. I don't think you can pass judgment on such a thing if you were never their to experience it.

SS76 - 5-25-2008 at 02:41 PM

can't argue that

joemaconmovies - 5-25-2008 at 05:01 PM

i believe you can. how about if you have experienced it but aren't from there?
