The New York Dolls, The Stooges, Wire, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, and The Cramps. I guess.

The Stooges, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, The Slits

debbie gibson, tiffany, NKOTB, milli vanilli, C&C music factory

The Germs, The Ramones, The Seeds, Sex Pistols, Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, The Stooges, Pope Smashers. I know I went past 5, but punk has too many good groups to limit it to 5.

Very interesting list, chabib. Would you say the same for mine? (needs to be top 10)

X
50 Foot Wave
Big Black

Patti Smith

I like The Ramones, Descendents, Half Japanese, and (thanks to the old board) Teenage Jesus and Flipper

This is hard but I'll try....

No wait...actually:
1. My Chemical Romance
2. The Used
3. Atreyu
4. Avenged Sevenfold

I definetly agree w/ The Melvins, & Iggy & The Stooges.

I still have to hear the Melvins, I'll check them out next time I have spare time on my hands; I have to go to bed now

Get right to work on listening to The Melvins. If you want punkish Melvins, go w/ the "Magled Demos, 1983" cd. that shows how hardcore of a band they were, & still are.

dead kennedys
ramones
husker du
stooges
clash

and buzzcocks coming in close

Inhuman you should also check out Stoner Witch by the Melvins.

Patti Smith
Stooges
Pistols
Ramones
GG Allin

it was hard after seeing the greats of Debbie Gibson listed (such balls on the habib man to admit the love) but it reminded me of a question I was recently asked was Madonna punk in her hey day or just freeing the gay rights and the right to take pix of my snatch with a mirror?
