This all depends on whether you are trying to make a CD that is punk by sound or punk by ideaology.
Punk by sound included bands such as the Vandals, Bad Religion, NOFX, Lagwagon, AFI, etc.
Punk by ideaology, (Which is punk that is punk because of it's lyrical content and message), would still include Bad Religion and old (YES OLD) NoFX, but would also include the RX Bandits, Propagandhi, Sage Francis (yes, he's a rapper, but his lyrics match up to those of BR), BigWig (I'm surprised nobody has mentioned them before) and Bob Dylan. These were bands/people that are punk in their want for the reform of society to make a better whole for us all.
Punk isn't about power chords and a fast beat, it's about a message that was originally delivered by people who had no other way to convey it but through music.
So, my friend, I ask you, which punk are you trying to make a mix of?
