There were some classic punk tunes that still deserve an occasional listen when you have energy to expend. Alternative Ulster by SLF, Anarchy in the Uk by Sex Pistols, Ever Fallen in Love with Someone by Buzzcocks, The Kids Are United by Sham 69, White Riot by The clash, all get a go on my stereo when I'm in the mood, but i could never listen to a whole album any more.
Other bands took up the attitude but made more timeless albums, by taking other genres and injecting a bit of punk into them. The Pogues and The Pixies spring to mind, I'm sure I could list alot more if I thought about it a bit longer.
Green Day, though classed as American Punk, don't fit the category for me. I think they've written some amazing, classic, songs. But i would consider them more derived from ska and rock than punk.
There are a few post-punk acts still out there. The Flaming Lips, believe it or not, started out as a psychedelic rock influenced punk band. They are something quite different now though.
Punk Rock was never really a sound, it was more a rebellion against a lot of the overproduced arena rock of the 70s. It came, livened things up a bit, and died. (The Clash went on to become something of an Arena band themselves) The post-punks honestly had more of a real influence on rock. (Joy Division, Talking Heads, The Pixies, The Sonic Youth, Bauhaus).

As usual with these list-y things, just too many to decide, and depends on mood that day.
Two that I didn't see for metal mentioned yet, from [ fairly] early days:
Judas Priest
Nazareth [though they're not really metal, per se, I suppose...fine line, but I put them and KISS in hard rock, along with Zep]
Was never really a fan of punk...but I liked a lot from the various punk-derivatives that came about. [except Green Day...I purely hate them]

Iron Maiden.... for metal AND punk
(some folk consider the first couple albums, particularly Killers, to be punk or punkish albums. These same folks also think Dianno was better than Dickinson, which is clearly not the case!
)
A few other metal favorites: Kamelot, Keldian, and Mago de Oz.
I do enjoy me some Armoured Saint from time to time as well...

I hate Greenday too. I don't consider them punk in the least.
The day that they became hugely popular was the same day I realized my own music would never become so.
Punk isn't some affectation, it is rebellion incarnate. For me, it is the only music that never fails to inspire me.
f*ck green day.

And Lemmy just turned 65 yesterday.

hard to think of Lemmy as an old man. When I realize that the Buzzcocks, the Clash and the Sex Pistols are all at least ten years older than I am, its kinda strange. They seemed to embody youth.
