Okay, so it's not "dead" per say. But much like many genres of metal, it'll never be the same. My point is, this list will not feature Blink 182. I am by no means an expert in the genre, but this is a list of required listening entry-level punk that even the heaviest of metal fans should find something to enjoy. Links are in the first comments box. Most go to full albums, but some to single songs.

1.Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

2.Bad Religion - Against the Grain

3.Bad Religion - No Control

4.Ramones - Ramones

5.Bad Religion - The Process of Belief
