Punk is just like Alternative, Indie and every other "breakthrough" genre; it died the second they gave it a name (and a stringent behavior and dress code).

I'll therefore list a few bands who kept the original spirit alive, but created some important variations...

1. DEVO

2. Joy Division

3. Talking Heads

4. The Cure

5. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds/The Birthday Party

The Clash

Joy Division (Post punk I know , but still)

The Damned

Dead Kennedys

The Stooges

Thank god you were joking, and to the kid that quoted me, have fun listening to whinebags. And they're still not punk. What constitutes punk you may ask? Well, in my opinion, not putting songs out like Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Have a nice day.

Ok seriously,

Dead Kennedys
Minor Threat
Black Flag
Bad Brains
(Older) Against Me!
someotherguy654

Against Me! FTW. Man, whenever I wear an Against Me! shirt someone ALWAYS comments on it. Like, even if they have numerous times in the past. Like "I'm not against you!" or something like that.

The only punk I listen to is AFI( old), the Clash and Minor Threat. I'd like to hear more bands like Minor Threat, thoughDivergeUnify

Try Circle Jerks.

King Crimson, YES, Tool, Dream Theater, Rush.

Oh...is that not punk? I'm sorry. I only listen to music.

Oh, I'm sorry that I dont feel like listening to a man play the drums for 20 minutes straight.

King Crimson, YES, Tool, Dream Theater, Rush.

I'll let it slide, given the fact that I'm probably about as elitist as you. That being said, grow up.

King Crimson, YES, Tool, Dream Theater, Rush.

:roll: You could have skipped the thread....and every genre has something to offer. Punk is just stripped down rock. Instead of the self indulgence of prog.

Yea, I should have skipped the thread. I apologize for being a jerk. Sometimes temptation gets the best of me...well, a lot of the time actually.

NoFX
Fall Out Boy
A.F.I.
Alkaline Trio
The Used

You might say the last four are "emo" but they are all in the 'punk' section at FYE and Amazon, so I think they count.

I sorta skipped right into post punk, but real punk bands that I dig include...

-NoFX
-Screeching Weasels
-Bad Religion
-Against Me! (they're more punk than any of the other post punk bands listed and their fist albums were super punk, so new wave can be let off the hook for being progressive and generally a great album despite it's even more successful than the the previously somewhat successful album)
-Me first and the gimme gimmes (I'm a sucker for punk covers)

Ok I just noticed there are very few fans of Hardcore Punk here in Gamespot...anyways my top five punk bands in no particular order are:

Black Flag, The Clash, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Operation Ivy.

1. The Clash

2. Green Day

3. Against Me!

4. Operation Ivy

5. Rancid
