Punk rock?!

Well for more modern punk like you mentioned you should try:
-Rancid (one of my favorite bands ever, so start here probably, with the album Let's Go!)

-NOFX (Punk In Drublic is probably a good starting point)

-Pennywise (the first self title album is a good one)

-The Dwarves (get The Dwarves Are Young And Good Looking first, straightforward top notch punk rock)

-The Hives (Veni Vidi Vicious is a good starting point)

-Against Me! (start with the debut, Reinventing Axl Rose)

Now a little earlier, here are some bands that got started earlier in the 80's or had their heyday in the 80's you might like:

-The Descendents (get Milo Goes To College, a near perfect album)

-Bad Religion (start with No Control)

-The Circle Jerks (Group Sex is the first one to hear)

-Dead Kennedys (Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables)

-Angry Samoans (The Unboxed Set has their first 4 albums on one CD and generally is cheaper than buying the out of print albums)

-Black Flag (Everything Went Black is a good compilation of their early material, and Damaged is a pretty good debut)

-Agent Orange (Living In Darkness is a great punky, surfy album)

-The Violent Femmes (the self titled debut)

Now some 70's stuff you may enjoy:

-The Clash (self titled debut)

-The Damned (Damned Damned Damned)

-The Undertones (self title debut is some of the earliest and best pop punk ever recorded, if you like Green Da you'll like these guys)

-The Ramones (start with Rocket To Russia, but they're pretty consistently great in my opinion, the first 4 albums for sure are classics)

-Generation X (the self titled debut again, more precursors to Green Day's style, and it features Billy Idol singing)

-The Buzzcocks (Another Music In A Different Kitchen or the singles collection Singles Going Steady are good to start with)

-The Vibrators (Pure Mania)

-Stiff Little Fingers (Inflammable Material)

-The Sex Pistols (Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols)


And the list is probably already a little overwhelming so I'll stop, but I strongly recomend all of it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Beginning stages started more or less in the 60's with bands or artists like: Link Wray who started with 50's music &
The Stooges(which is Iggy Pop's band, Iggy Pop is the Godfather of Punk & the logical choice to replace Elvis Presley as the king of rock-n-roll, in the 70's they became Iggy & the Stooges, however Iggy was in a surfy like band before that too where he mainly played drums)
MC5(Wayne Kramer's old band),The Up,Velvet Underground(Lou Reed's old band),Deviants(from England),Fugs(but they sucked),Music Machine,The Remains(from Boston),The Sonics(from Seattle),Thirteen Floor Elevators(Roky Erickson's old band, from texas),Blues Magoos, Oxford Circle(from Sacramento),Them (from Canada)
Not to mention certain songs in the 60's by one hit wonders that were usually know more as fuzz/garage/psychedelic(the punkier sounding psychedelic that is) type bands such as these bands with these songs such as:
Troggs-"Wild Thing",Count 5-"Psychotic Reaction",Seeds-"Pushin' too hard",Blue Cheer-"Summertime Blues"(a 50's song remake),The Standells-"Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White",The Standells-"Dirty Water",The Strangeloves-"I want candy",The Outsiders-"Time won't let me"(Iggy Pop even did a remake of this song), !? & the mysterians-"96 Tears",Electric Prunes-"Get me to the world on time", Easybeats-"Friday On My Mind"(from Australia)Not to mention besides also artists that influenced punk with some of their songs such as Doors influencing Iggy & even James Brown & other soul/r & b/motown artists from the 60's as well, besides Shadows of Knight(from Chicago), Yardbirds before they got as psychedelic(yes the same band Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, etc; was in!.)
Then in the 70's when punk was defined as punk finally, which was the golden age of punk, there was bands like; New York Dolls, The Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash, Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers, Crime, The Damned, Avengers, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, The Screamers, The Cramps, Dead Boys, Suicide(but are more like Techno-Doorsy No Wave(No Wave is the loud artsy precursor for noise which is the real grunge), Rocket from the Tombs(not Crypt), Electric Eels, Mirrors, Styrenes,Germs,Pere Ubu, Iggy Pop(solo & going strong today)Gizmos,The Dogs,Tuff Darts, Patti Smith Group, Boys Next Door(Nick Cave's first group)Television,Mink Deville,Sid Vicious, The Consumers, The Exterminators, The Dogs,Iggy & the Stooges(of course) X, The Telepaths & Misfits,just to name a few which were from Cleveland, Columbus, L!.A; San Francisco, England, New York City,Detroit, Indiana, Seattle,besides bands that came from texas--Then 80's came with hardcore, psychobilly, no wave & death punk(called gothic later), which included bands like Dead Kennedys, Plasmatics, Blag Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat,The Dils, The Wierdos, Murphy's Law, Agnostic Front, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, The Plugz, Zeros, Zero Boys, Subhumans(at least 2 by that name 1 from England the other from Canada), Negative Approach, Theoretical Girls, The Scavengers, The Ur**als, Mission of Burma, Swell Maps,Birthday Party(Nick Cave's second group),Scratch Acid, Jesus Lizard,Sonic Youth, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Christian Death, 45 Grave, Samhain, Christian Lunch, Fugazi,Green River,Social Distortion, T!.S!.O!.L; Vandals, Adolescents,D!.I; Toxic Reasons, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Angry Samoans & many more!.
