If you truly want to get technical about it, the Damned and their debut album (a self titled) was officially the first concious punk rock album. The Damned is one of the few bands that I can still stand to listen to. They're just stripped down rock'n'roll.
Back when I used to really listen to the stuff, I used to be into the Templars, Major Accident, Crass, UK Subs, and the Cockney Rejects...Stuff along those lines. This thread inspired me actually to relisten to a few of my old favorites. My taste though eventually matured. Now I can only listen to the standouts, and I enjoy post-punk which I feel took the sound and made it alot less prone to generic sound-alikes.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
