That's all I was probably looking for MrT

Still which one is the one you like most out of those?

I vote for The Clash

Bigwig, Too good for words.

NOFX, Didn't 'invent' punk, but they were The definition of punk in the 80's, and then they stayed underground for a long time. However.. they havent gone to MTV and shit, theyre way too popular.

AFI, was great in the 80's and up until Art of Drowning, But their statements of, were not punk and we never were (that i have heard theyve said...) is untrue. Starting a band for something to do inbetween skate sessions isnt punk? playing fast hardcore music with pretty much all powerchords isnt punk? Having songs about mowhawks and sarcastic songs of 'i wanna be a highschool football hero' isnt punk? Tell me what is.

Frenzal Rhomb, aussie band, as punk as it gets. Go to punkhardcore.com and read some interviews with them, youll know they are punk. Their music is raw fast and great, however their latest album is lacking...

Pinhead Gunpowder, oh man. Billie Joe from Green day's other band that just got together once or twice a year to just play and make an album for the love of music. If you havent heard of them, download some songs. They are like a hardcore awesome punk version of green day.

speaking of which, Green Day, until insomniac. 39/smooth, kerplunk, dookie, and insmoniac rank as some o my fav albums of all, but after that they just had like 1 or 2 ok songs from each album and then decreased to none and just went pop punk.
