punk:
fugazi
at the drive-in
hot water music
sleater-kinney
burning airlines
blood brothers
cursive

emo:
planes mistaken for stars
thursday
the get up kids
my chemical romance

i had to add my list because a lot of newer bands are getting left out. there's too much ancestor worship in punk rock. you don't have to have slavish imitations of old punk rock just to be punk. punk rock can go in new directions, but the punk rock attitudes aren't making it very easy. i think it's best to keep punk fresh musically, so it doesn't become obsolete politically/socially.
