One of those threads where I HAVE to post ; )
Im not big on oldskool punk, but I totally respect what they did.
But I listen to The Clash and find it boring as fuck... At least they had the idea ;) Originality goes a long way.
My personal favorite in the Neo-punk department:
NOFX and Propagandhi.
Music is great, lyrics are awesome and their attitude and view on life are killer.
Another band worth mentioning: Grim Skunk(greatest band ever, not just in punk). Check out their self-titled album, its just a well of creativity...
a couple more things:
Offspring, green day, blink182, et al. can rot in hell... with korn and limp bizkit and all the rest of the pop/whatever mix.
Also, side note to people just discovering Rock'n'Roll right now with The Hive and the White Strips and all, Wake up, rock'n'roll never died and when you move on to the next fad, it will still be there!
Other bands who are not quite punk, but worth every kilobyes of their MP3s : Gaffer, Small Brown Bike, Sparta, International Noise Conspiracy, Planes Mistaken for Stars.
Greatest song quote ever:
"And yes, I recognize the irony that the very system I oppose affords me the luxury of biting the hand that feeds. But that's exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream- until everyone has everything they need.
"
Propagandhi, resisting a tyranical government.
