List your favorite punk bands, five from each era (the 70's, 80's and 90's). Yes I know I left out the new millenium. That's because punk rock died in 1999.
Mine:
70's: MC5, Sex Pistols, that's about it.
80's: Minor Threat, the Misfits, Social Distortion, Operation Ivy and a punk/hardcore classic, the CroMags
90's: Bad Religion (even though I hate their anti-American stance), NOFX (the only pop-punkers I ever liked), and the best for last:
The Dropkick Murphys remain one of the greatest punk bands of all time, a hard rocking, hard partying Irish bunch of laddies.

No Ramones at all man? What about Black Flag? I thought you said you were old school? s--- man, I don't even really dig punk, but you shouldn't even have a punk topic without those two and my personal favorite the Stooges. I was born in '81 but even I know good punk when I hear it.

I apologize. I just reread your original post. It said favorite not best. My fault, I take back my flaming. But you could use those three to create my list. Maybe throw in the Dropkick Murphy's for my 90's band, or the Transplants. Dropkick Murphy's are playing in KC next month at a local bar. Only seats about 250. Always a good show when they come to town!

I don't know how it breaks down by decade, but these are my favorites:
Social D
Dropkick Murphys
Ramones
Misfits
Clash
And post '99, punk lives in bands like:
Off With Their Heads
American Steel
Nothington
Riverboat Gamblers
Civet

Don't know if I can come up with five from each decade, so I'll just list some random faves:
Sex Pistols
The Exploited
Black Flag
The Misfits
The Ramones
Social D
Bad Brains
Dead Kennedys
Circle Jerks
Firehose
Dropkick Murphys and Green Day are the only newer punk bands I've really gotten into. Actually have the new DKM on my MP3 player right now - good stuff.

OOOOOOOh I forgot the circle jerks and Bad Brains. If we can count The Clash and Bad Brains, can I throw in Fishbone too? I love real ska.

I don't know.... they're like a super-light version of Dropkick Murphys or Real McKenzies. I'd say more Irish folk than punk.

1)The Clash
2)Dead Kennedys
3)Dayglo Abortions, good choice Squib. As a Vancouver Islander this music was a huge part of my teenage years. Hell I got suspended from grade 6 for singing 'I want to be a east Indian' in class.
4) Operation Ivy - I have it on record, cassette and now CD / Rancid
5) The Misfits with Danzig

I was never really a big fan of punk but back in the 90's I loved MxPx.
