What's good from the bands Rancid and Bad Religion?

Question

A friend recommended that I loom up old school punk bands like Rancid and Bad Religion and I don't know where to start looking.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The good from the bands Rancid and Bad Religion is when the song that is playing has ended and you are like so appreciative of utter silence for the first time in your life... Seriously, maybe if they joined forces and formed a band called Rancid Religion, they could buckle down and learn that elusive 3rd Chord!

Answer 2

Rancid, start with ... And Out Come the Wolves. Absolutely incredible album. Some songs to look on youtube: Ruby Soho, Roots Radicals, Time Bomb

Bad Religion: I personally like Rancid a lot more, but Suffer is a great album by them.

Answer 3

ok some of these people are obviously stupid. bad religion is definitely old school, they started in 1980 which means they've been together for 28 years! rancid started in the early 90's so they're not quite as old school but still, together longer than most marriages. now on to my album choices for you to listen to

bad religion:

suffer

how could h**l be any worse?

no control

generator

stranger than fiction

those are their best albums, almost every song is excellent on them

rancid:

and out come the wolves

lets go

life wont wait

also, before tim armstrong (lint) created rancid, he was in a band called operation ivy. you should definitely check them out seeing as they were better IMHO than rancid is.

and i agree with the poster above that California Sun is well worth checking out. its a great song.

Answer 4

Just to let you know  Rancid is not an old school punk band.

Anyway Out Come the Wolves is awesome so is Life Wont Wait  

Check out some real old school bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bad Brains,  or the Ramones, MDC  

Answer 5

Suffer, Against the Grain, No Control, and Generator are all good Bad Religion CDs.

Answer 6

i love the song Heros & Martyrs by Bad Religion....

Answer 7

And out comes the wolves is a great classic album by Rancid. There 2003 album indestructible is okay too. Alot of the third wave ska music is like Rancid. I also really like Operation Ivy.

Answer 8

I agree with some of the other posts; these aren't old school bands ... or maybe I'm just old.

Anyway, if you want to sound like you know your old school punk, go with Operation Ivy and say that Bad Religion is such a sell-out.

Answer 9

"White Knuckle Ride" & "Fall Back Down" by Rancid...

im not too sure about Bad Religon...

maybe "Punk Rock Song"

Answer 10

Rancid:

The Entire Out come the wolves album...it's amazing

California Sun (not on any records from them but you can find it on Kazaa or Youtube it)

Bad Religion

Social Suicide

Supersonic

Whispers in Time

Sorrow

and I'm sure others can add more to this list
