The only decent punk bands ever are The Clash and The Sex Pistols, The Clash being the better of the two. The Clash used punk and the idea of playing badly on purpose as a statement. The conveyed a message that all music no matter how good or bad can convey a message and its not how you play but what you play. That if we all play like Van Halen then what's the point to playing.
They also invented ska basically.

The Sex Pistols were just f'in pissed off at the world and wanted to be in your face and show you want punk was about and they did it amazingly well.

British punk in general is better in my opinion. Its much more hard core.
