What are the top 5 Punk bands?

1. McFly

2. Blink182

3. The Kinks

4. Sum41

5. The Clash

It was close between The Clash and Busted but I opted for The Clash.

Please discuss.

BQ: Top 5 overall bands? fairly easy...

1. Beatles

2. Kinks

3. Rolling Stones

4. Oasis

5. Led Zeppelin.

As long as Beatles and Kinks are top 2 then the 3, 4 and 5 can be swapped out for other bands such as McFly, Coldplay, The Who etc

    1. Dead Kennedys

    2. Black Flag

    3. The Clash

    4. Ramones

    5. Misfits

    (Sex Pistols and Minor Threat are very honourable mentions)

    All of the bands I mentioned are actually Punk, but most people on Yahoo don't even know what Punk is. Mcfly and Busted are no where near being Punk. I'll let bands like Blink182 and Sum41 slip this time, because to be fair you didn't say Punk Rock, you just said Punk. They're Pop Punk so if you said top 5 Punk Rock bands they wouldn't count.

    BQ:

    1. Death (Death Metal Death, not Protopunk Death although they're good too)

    2. Nile

    3. Iron Maiden

    4. Led Zeppelin

    5. Dead Kennedys

    I wonder how many people will downvote this for having Metal in my top 5, and also for knowing the difference between Emo, Pop, and Punk.
