I admit Green Day are not all punk but a lot of other groups quoted aren't total "in your face " punk either...including the revered The Clash...!!!!...pretty tame compared to Black Flag or Dropkicks ???
Don't get me wrong ! The Clash are one of my favorite bands of all time . it's just when I listen to them I don't think Punk like I do when I listen to Misfits, Ramones or Sex Pistols....there's a distinct difference there ??? I love Time of Your Life(Wake Me Up when September's Over) song...one of my all time favorites and sentimental to me also the Live Album Awesome as **** is incredibly high energy with the crowd singing !!!!,,but they're not really rock ????? uptempo non stop rock, pop punk, pop rock, etc. whatever.
The Clash were much much more than a punk band !!!imho...Anywho I'm not a big punk fan ...when I need a jolt of energy or power rush I put on punk from time to time.

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:Sex Pistols "never mind the bollocks"
Clash "the clash" & "london calling"
Jam "in the city" & "setting sons"
PiL "public image limited"
Dropkick Murphys "going out in style"
Adam & The Ants "dirk wears white sox"
go to youtube and search Buzzcocks, Sham 69, Siouxie & The Banshees, Ramones for an idea or two....
they also call Gaslight Anthem "punk" so try "either of their three albums.
and thank you MH...Green Day....not punk in my view but try their albums also.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
