The Clash--too obvious. They had an album produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry, nuf' said.
Black Flag---Liked their stuff during the time Greg Ginn was their vocalist...but I'll admit Henry Rollins was really the frontman of the group that made me like them more. At that time though, many said they were less hardcore and more metal...but who really remembers Greg Ginn?
Bad Brains- The tre link between reggae, punk, and rudebwoy culture from Jamaica/London/and DC hardcore.
Fugazi- The product of Rites of Spring, Minor Threat, Nation of Ulysses, and the other bands that all of the members were in. I was always impressed by them simply because they were grown men making grown man punk music that really encompassed around alot of themes. One mainly shedding away youthful rebelllion for adult awareness, conciousness in the band's evolved sound. Not to mention, they did alot more things musically that not only built the rock scene of the nineties, but the post-punk genre itself. It was always interesting to hear the sounds of ex-punk rockers who obviously wanted to mature with the music, especially considering how limited of a scope punk had at the time. They eclipsed what punk had and what post-punk had become to make a different kind of animal.
Gorilla Biscuits/CIV-mainly because of Arthur Civarelli....he really carried both of those groups.
Rancid- Say what you will, but they were one of the better punk bands of the nineties.
Operation Ivy- If we're going to talk about rancid.
