I'm gonna include hardcore and a few other genres where the lines are blurred with punk.
Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown Devo - Gut Feeling Clash - White Man in Hammersmith Palais Minor Threat - I don't wanna hear it Wire - 12xu Television - Marquee Moon Flipper - Sex Bomb Gun Club - Sex Beat Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang Husker Du - Something I Learned Today The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog Dead Kennedys - Moon Over Marin Germs - Lexicon Devil The Cramps - Green Fuzz X-Ray Spex - The Day The World Turned Dayglow Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) Suicide - Ghost Rider Public Image Ltd - Flowers Of Romance
blank generation - richard hell & the voidoids alternative ulster - stiff little fingers i am the fly - wire nice n sleazy - stranglers public image - pil
Bad Brains - Pay to Cum Toast - Sarah Jane Southport - Days like these Misfits - Last caress Snuff - Vikings Social Distortion - story of my life NOFX - Liza and Louise Dropkick murphys - Baroom Hero
Can't believe 'I don't like Mondays' by the Boomtown Rats, 'I can't stand my baby' by the Rezillos and 'Jimmy, Jimmy' by the Undertones haven't been mentioned.
It's easy to come up with five top bands, it's damned hard to pick a best track by some of them.
Clash - White Man in Hammersmith Palais (or I Fought the Law) Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK Siouxsie and The Banshees - Hong Kong Garden (or Mittageisen, or Dear Prudence, or Love in a Void, or The Passenger) Joy Division - Love will Tear Us Apart Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster (or Suspect Device)
Honourable mentions to
Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (with someone you shouln't've) Undertones - Teenage Kicks Mink DeVille - Spanish Stroll Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
As usual, ask me tomorrow and it'll be completely different I've stuck to the punkier end of things:
How Much Longer - Alternative TV Teenage Kicks - The Undertones Identity - X-Ray Spex Ambition - Subway Sect Bingo Master's Breakout - The Fall
and from across the pond...
Piss Factory - Patti Smith Non-Alignment Pact - Pere Ubu Holiday In Cambodia - Dead Kennedys Makes No Sense At All - Husker Du Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones
No particular Order Nobodies Heroes. Slf Staring At The Rude boys The Ruts Another Dead Soldier Anti Pasti Alternative The Exploited Punks Not Dead The Exploited Tin Soldiers Slf Child Killers. Condemned 84

London to celebrate 40 years of punk culture in 2016
PRESS RELEASE “London calling to the faraway towns” The Clash
On this day in 1976 the Sex Pistols released their infamous debut single ‘Anarchy in the UK’. Today London’s leading cultural venues announced plans to celebrate the legacy and continuing influence of London’s punk scene throughout 2016.
Live gigs, talks, films, exhibitions and museum displays are all part of a year-long celebration of subversive culture. Not only will punk’s roots in London be explored, but also its on-going influence on modern day culture and society, from fashion to film, politics to identity, and of course music.
Punk London will kick off with the Resolution Festival from 4 to 14 January 2016 at The 100 Club, the world-renowned music venue that hosted the legendary two-day 100 Club Punk Festival in September 1976.
Other organisations involved in Punk London include the British Fashion Council, British Film Institute, British Library, Design Museum, Doc ‘n Roll Films, Institute of Contemporary Arts, Live Nation Merchandise, Museum of London, The Photographers’ Gallery, Rough Trade, PYMCA, Premier and On|Off, Roundhouse and Universal Music Catalogue.
In keeping with punk’s grass roots ethos, punk fans up and down the country are being encouraged to create their own events. Anyone wishing to host an event can register via the Punk.London website at www.punk.london/diy.
