Shit, it's a big list!
The term "punk" for me, includes a variety of styles, as you can guess...
The Minutemen (D. Boon, my hero) The Saints (great bluesy austarlian punk) 76% Uncertain (legendary hardcore weirdos from Connecticut) The Jam (not really hard-ass, but they're my alltime faves) New Rob Robbies (Colorado power pop with SST connections) The Misfits (of course) Wire (the original art-punks) The Big Boys (Austin eclectics from the early 80's) The Germs (invented Hardcore) Karate (emo verging on jazz) Squirrel Bait (very ahead of their time and melodic/bluesy) The Rotters (Sit on my face!) Verbal Assault (Esp. the "On" ep from 89) New Bomb Turks (esp. the "Drunk on Cock" EP) Essential Logic (check 'em out!) Mars (Early NY No Wave) ISM (early NY hardcore-into-garage/power-pop with Fugs covers) Braid (very hard-driving but eclectic emo) Mineral (see above) Alternative TV (very odd britpunks) The Descendents (of course Honor Role (Carolina emo progenitors, heyday 85-87) Simply Saucer (pre-punk stooge/Syd worship, from 74, awesome) 7 Seconds (just the early stuff, though) Dag Nasty (just the early stuff, though) Samiam (esp. the first album and "You Are Freaking Me Out") Lightnting Bolt (awe-inspiring noise/hardcoe duo) The Records (amazing power pop from late 70's Britain) XTC (the first four records) The Suburbs (early stuff on TwinTone; very spazzy) Television (everybody knows who they are) Bad Brains (them too) High Rise (japanese noisecore, like Blue Cheer on bad speed) The Meatmen (the original politically incorrect punkers) everybody who was ever on SST and about 799,452,906 more...
As you can guess, most epitath-style punk leaves me pretty bored...it's pretty monochromatic stuff, IMHO.
