My idea of punk is also mostly the bands that came out at about the same time between '75 & '78. I've heard about Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Suicidal tendencis but not familiar with them, so I'll have to check them out.
I love Husker Du but have never consider them as a"punk" band. Rancid on the other hand I do as they definitely took their cues from the UK 70's punk movement, especially early Clash.
Ian, I am glad someone else here knows The Saints. Anyone interested in punk should at least check out the 2 links I posted on page 1. By their 3rd album, Prehistoric Sounds, recorded less than 2 years after their 1st, they had moved onto sort of jazzy, punkish R&B where horns featured extensively. Quite an amazing change in such a short period of time. I find it difficult to describe but it worked brilliantly. The 1st 2 albums can definitely be classified as punk. The band changed considerably when guitarist Ed Kuepper left after the 3d album, though still had some good moments over the years.
