Answer 3

gang of four is from the late '70s

buzzcocks

new york dolls (came before punk, but they, along with the velvet underground, essentially spearheaded the genre and are worth a listen)


the clash

sex pistols

the fall

the minutemen

really, in my opinion, all the best stuff came in the early '80s, as punk split off into post-punk and new wave. talking heads, devo, anyone?

Answer 4

In addition to those already mentioned - The Buzzcocks and
The Dickies. Also, the B52s were being listened to by that crowd in the late 70's.

Also, no list would be complete without mention of Iggy Pop and Lou Reed.

Answer 5

sex pistols
