Default Power Chord Bands

Mods.. I didn't have a clue where to put this thread so move it if you need to..

No Poll just open discussion about "Who are your favorite Power Cord bands"

I'll let you guys start off and I'll chip in..

I seem to be a fan of bands like AC/DC and others who have the power cords down to a science..
True.. it dosn't take much talent to play them. But done right.. They add so much UMPH.. to a song..

So have fun and keep it nice...





Love the way the guys in the video keep looking up at the OY guy headbanging.. LOL!!!

Seems the natural section for this thread.

I always enjoyed the Nuge when it came to riffing off some power chords.

Wango Tango.

I believe the Ramones are the epitome of power chord bands.

Link Wray was possibly the very first to use the power chord..
