Old school punk rock here:
Minor Threat
Dead Kennedy's
The Clash
Rancid
Black Flag, but I have to admit I like his solo stuff better.
and of course the Ramones. Pretty much have everything by them including Joey's solo album!
Play it Faster!
Always liked Social D. They are actually really good live to boot. I have seen him with the band and him playing just his solo stuff.
One of my favorite songs from his solo tour. Not really punk but man I love this song.
I really dig them also!
A little newer "punk" if you will....

My own taste in punk is pretty limited. I love the kitsch covers by pop-punk supergroup Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (members from NOFX, Lagwagon, No Use for a Name & Foo Fighters), whether it's their albums of 70s singer-songwriters (Have a Ball), musicals (Are a Drag [my favorite]) or 60s classics (Blow in the Wind).
If you like Minor Threat, I take it you've checked out Fugazi. Fun fact: At a sneak preview for Ed Wood I was in line next to Ian McKaye. An ex-girlfriend is a huge fan. A few years ago she got to spend a little time around him at a kid-friendly family concert which he participates in annually (if memory serves). Though I'm not a huge fan, I love his ethical stances and business model and am glad to hail from his area.
Another fun-fact: In 1991 or so, Ramones played a free concert on McKeldin Mall at my alma mater, University of Maryland. I watched about thirty minutes of the outdoor show. All I remember is the only way I could tell the difference between songs is that they were separated without pause by a burst of "1-2-3-4" into the microphone.
I'd add I'm surprised to see no love for Crass. A trusted punk fan basically analogized them The Rolling Stones to the Clash's Beatles.
Oh yeah, I have re: Fugazi, didn't like him as much as I did when he was with MT. I saw the Ramones around that same time a local venue in LA and man they sounded good. It helped it was general seating and we were pretty close so, but yup, 1,2,3,4 is one of their staples!
I have actually never heard of the Crass or if I have, I don't recognize the name.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for freedom of expression, and making bad music was something in which I partook for many years, hence I know from whence bad music comes. That song you posted from civet is utter sh*t. Doesn't mean it shouldn't exist, it does and it is what i said it is. We are all free to enjoy what we will/want and I'm fine with that. But if you can post it, I can tell you what I think of it.
I know we aren't arguing, this falls into the "which color blue is the color blue to you" theme.
apologies if i've offended anyone.

Most of the music in the last few posts is stuff I have never come across, but I do like The Clash.
Music is a very personal thing, and - while there is much I dislike (a category that includes elements of rap, heavy metal, hip hop) and indeed, the track that triggered this discussion, where music is concerned (whereas politics is an entirely different matter), in general, I prefer to celebrate what I like rather than deplore what I don't much care for.

London Calling is one my favorite songs!
Have 'Graceland' from Paul Simon playing in the background.
You two (@rhett7660 and @lowendlinux) with your old punk talk, keep it up please (Me personally, I'm a U.K. hardcore punk fan myself: Discharge especially), but lots of respect.
And now, Bolt Thrower (who else?)
and once I put this song on, I keep playing it until I wear myself out air drumming (about 20x in a row).

I like Crass quite a bit but my gut tells me there isn't a song they've made that won't offend someone since they pretty much defined nihilism.
One of my all time favourite songs; pure class and simply brilliant. Wonderful. That one really speaks to me. Love it.
Actually, I rate it so highly that it would be one of my "Desert Island Discs" songs.
A couple of songs from the Magnolia soundtrack...
