What about Operation Ivy?
They only made one album (Energy), but it is really good.
No.
I take serious offense to that notion. Blink 182 produced their own music, from composition to lyrics
Unlike NSync.
Unlike the Backstreet Boys.
Whether you enjoy their music, is up for debate.
Blink 182 was a band, not merely a group of entertainers.
Their music is influenced by bands mentioned by posters such as yourself.
I'm sure Mark and Tom are well aquinted with members of the bands mentioned.
However, you mock them.
And for what reason.
Because you simply can't relate to their music.
Because they opened a door for those of us who hadn't previously listened to the Romone's, the opportunity to hear their music.
Do you know what it takes to compose a song?
And, no I'm not talking about making a beat on ACID.
Actually siting down and writing a song
That's just a song.
When you able to compose as many successful albums as Blink 182, you must be doing something right.

Blink 182's stuff is mostly manfuctured and fake, just like most of The Bealtes earlier stuff. But, that not to say it isn't good. I personally like some of it, but they just shouldn't be talked about in this thread.
green day
Just because they are able to compose songs doesn't make them a punk band. They went mainstream and started to make music for radio and MTV. That in itself makes them not punk.
Leave Bo alone.
So what if he likes to listen to blink 182 while Angel him engage in some heavy, non penatrational petting.
Did someone on here say beastie boys? WTF
Sex Pistols
The Clash
The Ramones
Are you just randomly picking out names out of the interwebs?
Clash
Ramones
Misfits
How could Midge put The Pistols above The Misfits?
No. I blindfolded myself and drew names out of a hat.
I didn't see where there was a timeline specified by the OP so going by that the Beastie Boys definitely qualify. It's true the last 2 decades or so they have morphed into hip hop which is why I don't listen to them anymore. But they began in the 70's (I don't have the album or I would be more specific) as a true, very hardcore punk band.
How could you leave off the Pogues!? Shane McGowan practically invented the bloody bad boy punk rock image.

As the first white rap group of any importance, the Beastie Boys received the scorn of critics and strident hip-hop musicians, who accused them of cultural pirating,
especially since they began as a hardcore punk group in 1981. But the Beasties weren't pirating -- they treated rap as part of a post-punk musical underground, where the do-it-yourself aesthetics of hip-hop and punk weren't that far apart. Of course, the exaggerated b-boy and frat-boy parodies of their unexpected hit debut album, Licensed to Ill, didn't help their cause. For much of the mid-'80s, the Beastie Boys were considered as macho clowns, and while their ambitious, Dust Brothers-produced second album, Paul's Boutique, dismissed that theory, it was ignored by both the public and the press at the time. In retrospect, it was one of the first albums to predict the genre-bending, self-referential pop kaleidoscope of '90s pop. The Beasties refined their eclectic approach with 1992's Check Your Head, where they played their own instruments. Check Your Head brought the Beasties back to the top of the charts, and within a few years, they were considered one of the most influential and ambitious groups of the '90s, cultivating a musical community not only through their music, but with their record label, Grand Royal, and their magazine of the same name.
It was remarkable turn of events for a group that demonstrated no significant musical talent on their first records. All three members of the Beastie Boys -- Mike D (born Mike Diamond, November 20, 1966), MCA (born Adam Yauch, August 5, 1965), and Ad-Rock (born Adam Horovitz, October 31, 1967) -- came from wealthy middle-class Jewish families in New York and had become involved in the city's punk underground when they were teenagers in the early '80s. Diamond and Yauch formed the Beastie Boys with drummer Kate Sc enbach and guitarist John Berry in 1981, and the group began playing underground clubs around New York. The following year, the Beasties released the 7" EP Pollywog Stew on the indie Rat Cage to little attention. That year, the band met Horovitz, who had formed the hardcore group the Young and the Useless. By early 1983, Sc enbach and Berry had left the group -- they would later join Luscious Jackson and Thwig, respectively -- and Horovitz had joined the Beasties. The revamped group released the rap record "Cookie Puss" as a 12" single later in 1983. Based on a prank phone call the group made to Carvel Ice Cream, the single became an underground hit in New York. By early 1984, however, they had abandoned punk and turned their attention to rap.
Ok so if you take them just for their punk work...they are still not top 3.
I can't listen to The Ramones anymore because there was this gay dude when I was in 11th grade that worshiped them and said he wished Johnny Ramone was still alive so that he could him for the rest of time. . . Yeah, that's a tough image to get out of my mind.
Now let's play a game called Spot The Fail. Hint, there are 3.
My list:
1. My Chemical Romance
2. Fall Out Boy
3. Panic At The Disco
On the subject of Blink 182, they are definitely a pop band, but unlike most pop groups they did actually write their own music. So I give them a pass up until their last two albums. The "Pants and Jacket" album was pretty bad but it had one or two decent songs on it, plus the lyrics were still funny and weird on most songs. Their last album SUCKED. Why go away from what people know you for? That'd be like KISS putting out a disco album.
Sorry I thought this was personal opinion. If not, then I withdraw all my choices because I am not qualified to proclaim/dispute the greatest, end-all punk bands of all time!

you are probably a top 3 non-troll worst poster on this site.
It was personal opinion....as was what I said.
Who the are you?!
Looks like Mouse has a new troll.
Mouse or not I like this troll alreadyLooks like Mouse has a new troll.
I wasn't calling the bands you mentioned pop punk, I was just saying that Screeching Weasel is considered 'Pop punk" by some, but their music wasn't less gy Blink/Green Day/Good Charlotte crap.
