Not a fan of them like I was back in high school when I thought punk music was the cream of the crop. Their stuff gets kind of repetitive after a while, but most punk music does. They're among the best punk bands of all time though, and definitely deserve a HOF vote from me.

Here's the song that started it all for me, way back when.

 
I've never really been into the genre, but Bad Religion is always fun to listen to. I feel like I'm playing a Tony Hawk or Crazy Taxi game!
 
I first heard of them when I heard We're Only Gonna Die in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

Same for me.Pennwise's ''My God'' is a pretty good song too.
 
Giving them a meh.

I'm not really into the Punk scene of music,but at least I can listen to these guys without switching radio stations.
 
Definetly HoF - Material, even though I never liked the Band, but they putted their stamp on the scene and definetly left a mark.
 
Hall of Fame, easy. Their music stands out amongst the other punk bands, due to fantastic song writing of Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz. Them and Millencolin both got me into punk rock back in the early 2000s, so I have a real soft spot for them.
 
HOF most definately. They have 30 years of making excellent punk music. They still know how to write amazing songs.
 
HOF.

I can't stand most punk music. It's just so ultra simplistic and repetitive. As a musician I hear more of the flaws with punk than any positives.

That being said, Bad Religion is easily one of the best punk bands in existence. They have had a huge impact on the music scene. For that alone, they deserve HOF.



;)
 
Was it Bad Religion that made "We're Only gonna Die" or was it Sublime? Though Bad Religion came before Sublime. But, they were still making music around the Subliminal era.
 
You pretty much answered your own question when you figured out which band came first.

Sublime covered it.

Alright. But you did not read my whole very short to read post. Bad Religion was still making music when Sublime was around. There was a possibility it would have been from Bad Religion or not. :sly:
 
Yeah, I read your whole post. but my statement still stands since bad religion released that song in 1982, ten years before sublime did it.
 
And Sublime also completely ruined the song. There. I said it.
