Hard to believe they're still at it.  Step aside Blink 182 and let the real punks take over:

LONDON (Reuters) - The Sex Pistols snarled and shouted their way through their greatest hits late on Thursday at the start of a brief reunion tour, and early reviews praised the 50-somethings for maintaining the filth and fury.

"Half a century young!" a defiant lead singer John Lydon shouted to thousands of fans at a packed Brixton Academy in south London.

As long as Social Distortion exists, punk will never die...

Wow. I always try to imagine my parents doing similar things when I hear of 50 and 60-somethings rocking out. Somehow it just doesn't work.

The newest Les Savy Fav album (Let's Stay Friends) is a great example of intelligent art punk that keeps the tradition alive. Highly recommended.
