What a piece of crap compilation. I agree with Jerry Lee and Frank being on there but if you're going to put Amy on there shouldn't you put Courtney Hole on there too?
none of these people come close to punk
Yea, the 'writer' of this article needs to learn what punk is...the only one with that attitude is maybe winehouse. Where the hell does Cher being considered punk come from...What a garbage article, waste of time, including mine for taking the time to even respond.

Haven't heard the Fugs mentioned in decades. Coca Cola douch, slum goddess, saran wrap and nothing were pretty funky if you asked me
Ok, you idiots claiming punk probably abandoned it years ago when you put on yoru ties and went to go work your lame jobs..... so STFU..... Jerry Lee Lewis is punk.... Big Black did his tune Kerosene, go listen to it on youtube, I dare you..... Jerry Lee Lewis also married his cousin and threw away his career saying F you to the world.... If that ain't punk, I don't know what is.... Frank Sinatra was a douche bag Italian, who went around Vegas throwing his money around like he was king of the world... the closest he came to punk was Syd Viscious doing the same song he covered (my way)..Johnny Cash would have punched you in the face for calling him punk rock... I knew him,mbt shop, he lived in White House, TN across the street from his parents... He was 100% country... Don't let the prison influence fool you... Cash was country. Real country... not this Taylor Swift crap you hear today... Real country.. singing about hardships in life like Prison and having funny names... I don't even know who Amy Winehouse is... Xene Cervenka or Courtney Love would have been better than Amy and Cher.... Have you ever heard Cher's tunes ?....Not even close.... This writer is an idiot.. someone hired the nephew of their friend...
As to Thelonious Monk, he also has one pretty punky album cover. He's sitting at a piano dressed like a guerrilla fighter, ammo belts and all, in a grungy room with a lot of odd junk including a dead,mbt ireland, stuffed nazi officer. On the back of the album is a pretty hilarious tale of his alleged adventures as a guerrilla fighter. I can't remember the name of the album though, my copy is in storage a thousand miles away.

Winehouse is nothing but a doped up, drunken, foul mouthed slut who deserves to be no where but in a rehab clinic.

This is not Real punk Punk is about Anarchy no one you listed is an anarchist and they all make a shit load of money with there mainstream albums they actually have an easy life and are rich. they may do something that may raise an eye cause they wanna sell more albums so they may burn something or fight cause they think it will make them look like a bad ass.
I agree.
Jerry Lee Lewis is the only name that belongs on here... and where is the King of Punk... GG ALLIN ?

I add Soundtrack Of Our Lives to the list. If you look at the lyrics of their music, and their explosive performance, they mixed the music from the past with something new to say in rock n' roll to everyone willing to lend an ear. Same goes with Busdriver for his innovative take on hip-hop. Punkiest Song title for him? "Avantcore".

So was Sly Stone when the reclusive soul legend showed up at the 2006 Grammy Awards sporting a huge blond Mohawk. Punk isn't so much a music style as it is an attitude -- the refusal to do the expected. When they open the Punk Hall of Fame in some dive-bar bathroom, these musicians of varying styles will deserve honorable mention.
Jerry Lee Lewis
Why He's Punk: This bench-kicking, piano-burning, 13-year-old-cousin-marrying rock 'n' roll original known as the Killer doesn't apologize for playing the devil's music. Decades before Johnny Rotten's convulsions, Lewis made sure there was a whole lotta shakin' going on.
Punkiest Song Title: 'Great Balls of Fire'
Watch 'Great Balls of Fire' Live
Björk
Why She's Punk: Though Björk is pretty much in a category of one, the Icelandic pixie was into punk from an early age, naming one of her first bands Spit and Snot. Anyone who looks in the wardrobe on Oscar day and thinks, "Yes, I think I'll go with the swan dress" truly has no concern for the perceptions of other people.
Punkiest Song Title: 'Army of Me'
Watch the 'Army of Me' Video
Frank Sinatra
Why He's Punk: When rock 'n' roll was young, Sinatra ripped it a new one. "The most brutal, ugly, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my displeasure to hear," he called it. Yet he plowed through life like a gang leader. The punk generation could relate: Sid Vicious covered 'My Way,' and Bono once introduced him as "the chairman of the bad attitude."
Punkiest Song Title: 'My Way'
Watch 'My Way' Live
Peter Tosh
Why He's Punk: Tall, dreadlocked and flaunting big spliffs, Tosh often rode his unicycle onstage. Bob Marley's onetime partner in the Wailers took his social outrage solo in 1974, declaring himself a 'Steppin' Razor' and skirmishing repeatedly with Jamaican police.
Punkiest Song Title: 'Steppin' Razor'
Watch 'Steppin' Razor' Live
Johnny Cash
Why He's Punk: The Man in Black literally raised his middle finger to the Nashville establishment. In his songs, as in life, Cash identified with the downtrodden -- be they marginalized Native Americans, neglected war veterans or hard-bitten prisoners. And the body count in those songs is high enough to also warrant his inclusion in a Gangsta Rap Hall of Fame.
Punkiest Song Title: 'The Beast in Me'
Watch 'The Beast in Me' Live
Amy Winehouse
Why She's Punk: She knows she's no good. Kicked out of theater school for piercing her nose, Winehouse built the biggest bouffant this side of the B-52s. The drink-and-drug-troubled singer and her on-again, off-again spouse, Blake Fielder-Civil, evidently have a 'Sid and Nancy' thing going on.
Punkiest Song Title: 'You Know I'm No Good'
Watch the 'You Know I'm No Good' Video
Thelonious Monk
Why He's Punk: Sitting in his little red wagon, Monk played piano as if he'd never seen one before. He lived off the largess of a Rothschild heiress and went long stretches without speaking. Every ska punk in history has dressed like Monk, with his sharp suits and tiny hats.
Punkiest Song Title: 'Ugly Beauty'
Watch 'Ugly Beauty' Live
Ashley MacIsaac
Why He's Punk: When MacIsaac appeared on 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien,' his enthusiastic leg kick made it clear what the manic Celtic fiddler from Nova Scotia was wearing underneath his kilt: nothing.
Punkiest Song Title: 'The Devil in the Kitchen'
Watch the 'The Devil in the Kitchen' Video
Ol' Dirty Bastard
Why He's Punk: By the Wu-Tang Clan's second album, their most volatile member was already proving unreliable. For example, ODB's biggest contribution was called 'Dog S---.' A decade before Kanye, he stole the stage from Shawn Colvin at the Grammys, bizarrely insisting that Wu-Tang was "for the children."
Punkiest Song Title: 'Damage'
Watch the 'Damage' Video
The Fugs
Why They're Punk: Named for Norman Mailer's barely euphemistic exclamation used in his debut novel, the Fugs were the original freak-folkers. The long title of their first album promised, among other things, "general dissatisfaction." Founding member Tuli Kupferberg is a patron saint of the squatting set; he's the author of '1001 Ways to Live Without Working.'
Punkiest Song Title: 'Kill for Peace'
Watch the 'Kill for Peace' Video
Cher
Why She's Punk: More than 20 years after she first hit the big-time with old partner Sonny Bono,
mbt sport high, the former Cherilyn Sarkisian was banned from MTV for her derrière-baring outfit in the video for 'If I Could Turn Back Time.' She's always identified with the gypsies, tramps and thieves anyway. To those who would judge her, she's got four words: "Snap out of it!"

well not in today's world with goth rock and metal.

But you young people with your gangster crap i mean rap wouldn't understand. I dare each one of you to take a small interes5tt in sinatra and johnny cash. you just might like a "new" style
of music.

the biggest punk is Jayne County, who used to be Wayne County; what could be more subversive than that?
