I’ve liked what I’ve heard of Lawrence Arms but didn’t realize they were known as a punk band.
The Lawrence Arms are an American punk rock band from Chicago, formed in 1999.
That’s from Wikipedia, I don’t know, I would have called it punk rock as well…

Black Flag

Dead Kennedys

Clash or Rancid… I can’t decide!
Actually, I lied, Strike Anywhere is my 5th pick
It’s a good pick!
One of the most intense and fun punk shows I have ever been to - surprised the walls stayed standing!
88 Fingers Louie, NOFX, Pennywise, Deviates, Rancid
Not one mention of the Vandals?
Yes, look: https://reddthat.com/comment/11008062
ITT: A whole hell of a lot of people not knowing what punk is.
I was like this. It is the worst thing about the music scenes. I try not to be like this anymore.
I don’t see your top 5
If it fits a strict definition, is it really punk at all?

Honestly shocked how long it took to see someone mention Black Flag. Good picks!
- Dead Kennedys
- Against Me!
- Refused
- Cheap Perfume
- Lambrini Girls
Honourable mentions: Bad Religion and The Clash
REFUSED!!! I discovered them way too late. They were a band ahead of their time!
I actually don’t like the '90s stuff they made. Their album War Music in 2019 and the 2020 Malignant Fire single songs are amazing though, and I love Useless Europeans from the Freedom album as well.
If anyone else here ever tried Refused but didn’t get it, try their modern stuff, it’s way different, lyrics hit harder and the production sounds more similar to that loud Samurai feel in CP2077.
The Clash
Stiff Little Fingers
Ramones
The Saints
