A few of my faves have already been listed: DK, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains, D.R.I., S.T., Dayglo Abortions, Dead Milkmen... and there are others not mentioned such as Black Flag, D.O.A., C.O.C., S.O.D., Dag Nasty, Misfits, Butthole Surfers, Social Distortion, Discharge, etc.
One that I really like and wasn't mentioned was The Meatmen.
Like with Metal there are so many subsets, crossovers and just plain smearing of the lines on what is or isn't punk. So, I could list a ton more bands, but they could cross multiple genres (as do some of the bands listed above).
