What are we basing it on?
The Clash, Sex Pistols, Black Flag and the Ramones probably were the biggest I can think of influence wise closing followed by Bad Religion
For sheer awesomeness I would mention The Descendents, Misfits, SLF, DOA and Minor Threat
Sonic Youth and Husker Du would also rate a mention.
The Stooges would probably not count as they date well before punk (as defined) started, with also The Velvets and MC5 also probably being big influences.
Plus I love Fugazi, Nomeansno, The Stranglers, the Damned, Joy Division
For the original list I would remove Patti (more rock act with punk attitude), Suicidal (only there first album is really punk then they crossed over to thrash) and the Dolls (glam band with a punky sound)
Sy my list would be:
1. Rancid
2. Dead Kennedys
3. The Ramones
4. NOFX
5. Pennywise
6. Bad Religion
7. The Saints
8. The Clash
9. The Sex Pistols
10. Husker Du
11. Sonic Youth
12. Minor Threat
13. Descendents
14. Sick of it All
Propagandhi got dropped because 4 Epitpah sounding bands is to many for such a small sample
Sick of it all's 'Built to last' is in my top10 albums of all time.. Whn I first got it I reckon I listened to it for 2 months straight..Awesome band
Propoghandi deserve to be on the list for 'How to clean everything' alone.. Such a good album..Love it
