Velvet Underground really isn't punk, as they're more Avante Garde... But yea, Lou Reed is fantastic!
There are so many great punk bands that changed the cultural tides forever. I would however have to place The Clash towards to top of the list, just above The Ramones.

I wouldn't consider the Dead Milkmen as full-on Punk, although they were a very fun band. I saw them they day they signed their first record deal, when they played a private backyard party at Purdue. In fact, there is actually a picture of me on their website. ;)
Black Flag
Dead Kennedy's
Husker Du
Sex Pistols
etc.
There are so many different elements to punk, that it's hard to categorize them. Blondie/Deborah Harry was considered punk by mainstream standards, as was Generation X/Billy Idol and Devo... Devo would clearly be the closest, but if they are being lumped in, then you would have to add the Talking Heads and probably even Oingo Boingo, just due to the similarities. Hell, Adam Ant was considered punk just by appearances alone.
I grew up around Purdue, where there was a huge underground culture. Punk isn't so much a form of music, as it is a lifestyle, or even a movement... Thus I selected 'The Clash' as being towards to top of my list, as they were pretty outspoken leaders in regards to anarchy.
Also, to even mention the Velvet Underground without giving due consideration to David Bowie is a sin in its own right. Then we have Bryan Eno, whose gone on to do some amazing solo stuff, yet we never hear about him. :?

Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, No Means No, The Clash, GBH, The Exploited, Bad Brains, DOA,The Melvins, and of course The Ramones, The New York Dolls and The Stooges. These are some of my favorites, but I have left a whole lot out.

London Calling by the Clash is my absolute favorite album. But can't forget about the Buzzcocks, and all those on the NY scene like the New York Dolls and Richard Hell and the Voidoids.

I often find myself singing this song by the Vandals to help me cope with the stupid crap that people do to eachother in this world:
People That Are Going To Hell Lyrics
Some people are bad and they don't give a damn what they do or who they hurt
they go through their lives and don't apologize
for the shit that they've disturbed
but they don't bother me at all
cuz i know quite well-
when they're lives are over and they're done what they've done
they're the people that are going to hell
some beat their wives or pull out a knife
and stab a person or 2 or 3
with no repercussions and no one here can touch them
and they get away scott free
but that's not the case you see
and i'm glad to tell.
when their lives are over and they've done what they've done
they're the people that are goin to hell.
they will spend eternity cursing all they've done
faced with karma consequence and nowhere left to run
they will be in agony until the end of time
cuz they were such assholes while alive
so try and be nice and to do what's right cuz there will come a day
when you're faced with your maker
and no one here can save you
no matter what they say
and be glad that you were good
cuz some don't do so well
and when their lives are over and they've done what they've done
they're the people that are going to hell

our collections?
Clash, almost everything released,
Oingo Boingo - almost everything there too.. Do you have Only a Lad?
Bowie - most of his older stuff, up to Earthling
Monks - Bad Habits
Dead Kennedys - most of their stuff
Talking Heads - same
Operation Ivy
various other
Mind you, having my then two year old daughter belt out the Beatles 'Why don't we do it in the road!!' made me a little more selective about what I listened to in my kids' presence. :shock:

In reply to: Tgreene.... you are a walking, typing punk encyclopedia! :Lil:
The thing about punk, is that there is a place for every social misfit , free thinker and artist... Being that I fell into all 3 categories, I truly conformed to the ultimate standards of non-conformists. I was also the first guy in the history of my high school to pierce my ears, because guys simply didn't do that shit back then! :shock:

In reply to: The song " Only A Lad" is on Skeletons In The Closet... I wasn't aware that was an album by that title... As far as I know, there are only the 3 that I listed. Dark At The End Of The Tunnel was a pretty eclectic release, as it's more along the lines of the Twin Peaks soundtrack. 8^)
Oingo Boingo Albums:
Skeletons In The Closet
Nothing To Fear
Elfman's So-Lo
Dead Man's Party
Boi-Ngo
Only a Lad..they do a rather funky cover of 'You really got me'
Good For Your Soul
Boingo Alive 1 & 2
Dark at the End of the Tunnel.. I agree with you there. they got all maudlin on this one
Farewell
Jeez. now I feel like a borderline-gothy teenager again. :roll:

Wow... Although I have to wonder how repitious they are, since it appears may of the cover titles are featured songs in the 3 albums that I have.
