Hey guys...I've started to realize that punk is one of the few subgenres of rock music that I don't actually know much about/listen to much of...

So..any recommendations?

If this helps any, I've discovered a few that I like already:
-"Speed Kills"-era Agent Orange
-The Smithereens (not exactly punk, I guess..)
-"I fought the law and the law won"-era Clash
-"Irish" punk rock. (Dropkick Murphys)
-Rise Against
-This one is way out in left field...but, the band that did that "Dig that Groove, Baby!" song?...no clue what the band is called though

Richard Hell & the Voidoids
Black Flag
Misfits
The Damned (first album anyway..)
Dead Boys/Rocket from the Tombs
New York Dolls
Circle Jerks
Gun Club
The Cramps
STOOGES
Siouxie & the Banshees

There are so many more, just off the top of my head

Also, do yourself a huge favor and check out The Birthday Party if you haven't. Not very "straight-up punk" but great.

Start here. Self-titled, Funhouse, and Raw Power.
Then the first four Ramones albums.
Then Buzzcocks Singles Going Steady.
then maybe Misfits Walk Among Us.
this is all fun singalong punk that's a great starting point.

Good comps are always a good way to learn about bands, too.
check out the No Thanks! box set.

eh... personally I always like picking a album at random and buying/ordering it this was more fun before the net/net got useful when all you had to go by was what someone said or wrote

If you like Rise Against and Dropkick Murphys I'd recommend The Flatliners.

Yep, I used to buy all kinds of books(still do, actually), read Option voraciously (remember this?), went by word of mouth, skate videos.

More than that, I used to not eat lunch so I could scour cut-out bins for records I read about in dumb record guides.
Probably no kid will ever go hungry for a record again!

IGGY POP AND THE STOOGES, that is all.

The Unseen

Dead Kennedys

Clash

Black Flag

The Germs

Misfits

Ramones

U.K. Subs?

The Casualties?

You might like Naked Raygun.

Two things that often go overlooked (not to say they're the end-all, be-all of punk, just rarely are they suggested).

MC5

and

THE EXPLODING HEARTS

Seriously, Guitar Romantic may be my favorite album of all time. I put it in my car three years ago and it still has not left the CD player.
