If anything those bands stole punk and bands like Fallout Boy brought it to another generation. It's people that harp on "pussy" bands like green day and blink 182 for writing pop hooks when realy all they wrote were three chord progressions set to fast tempo drumming. Isn't that The Clash? Isn't that The Ramones? I don't even like "punk" in general, although there are great bands. But until someone can justify claiming a certain type of music is bad for a reason other then "they suck because they didn't start it" I'll be pissed of. It's unfair to blame a band for not being the same as your favorite band, because if they were youwould still hate them for "copying" your favorite band. You're just hating for the sake of hating.
Again, not a fan of fallout boy, that just really makes me angry. It's ignorant.

Oh, I want to get in this too, FallOut Boy sucks because they make horrible music and their singer is god awful. They are no where near what punk rock is/was/will ever be, and I agree, they never claimed to be. But then again, so many "punk" kids claim they are punk, so it goes both ways.
As for my picks, I will only list four (right now), I know they have been listed on here before but they have had a huge impact on me:
Nirvana - Nevermind - first Nirvana CD I ever listened to, I was young and it opened my eyes to Nirvana and I have never looked back.
Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled - This CD had so much energy and anger in it, I love it!
Led Zeppelin - Untitled (aka IV) - This album makes me happy in so many ways. It is the one that got me interested in Classic Rock and I am thankful everyday for that.
and more recently
Wolfmother - Self Titled - This is a complete throwback to Classic Rock. It never fails to help cheer me up if I've had a long crappy day. The album feels very epic and helps my imagination run away with itself.
