I feel like I need to expand my punk collection. I have a lot of Clash, Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Rancid and Ramones. Suggestions etc.

Forgot about Dropkicks. I have all their stuff.
Early Damned, early Siouxsie, Buzzcocks (almost punk pop, if there is such a thing), Dead Kennedys, Dead Milkmen, Circle Jerks, Black Flag.
Although not 'punk' in the typical definition of the genre, since you like the Clash, check out Joe Strummer's pre- and post-Clash work. The 101'ers to the Mescaleros, all have excellent songs in their catalogue.
Catchy 101'ers tune...kind of garage rock-y
Strummer on Letterman - incredible live performance
Also, Australian bands The Saints and Radio Birdman.
Also, I'm an Uberdork and I didn't even know it.
X, the jam, agent orange, suicidal tendencies, husker du, gang of four, mortal micronaughts, I'll go look through some old albums later
NOFX, Good Riddance, Strung Out, Lagwagon, Pulley, ...more bands will come to mind... Go to Epitaph Records and Fat Wreck Chords and listen to the bands.
I should say I am not a Dead Kennedys fan.
One Pandora I have a New York Dolls, Clash and Iggy Pop station. I have to ask since when was David Bowie and Johnny Cash punk?
Also do you consider the White Stripes punk?
Is it "punk" or is it "new wave" was the great debate of the early '80's. Few really knew the difference. The easiest answer was the "new wave" got played on the radio - punk, never.
I've always been a big punk fan, but I really lean towards SKA. Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Pietasters, etc. You like them, I'll send some more your way.
Pennywise, Authority Zero, Rancid, (I'm not sure if punk or more hardcore) but Rise Against, older Offspring, Boikot (They're spanish!).....
Face to Face, Less Than Jake, early Green Day (before dookie), Goldfinger, Lagwagon, Lifetime, NOFX, Thrice, Whippersnapper
Crime In Stereo is a punk band that I only discovered recently, I like them A LOT.
Face to face, Angry Samoans, Screeching weasel, Bad religion, Black Flag, Diesel Boy, Fifteen, Millencollin, Minor Threat, Bouncing Souls, The Misfits, Cheap Trick, Danzig (kinda metal-ey), Snapcase, Blink 182, Unwritten Law
I think Minor Threat is the greatest punk band that ever existed. I think Punk/Ska peaked with Operation Ivy, though Voodoo Glow Skulls kind of took it to a new level.
Other faves:
Circle Jerks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpyKnJOCIy4
Crimpshrine/Fifteen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHhRxmNsBJg
Misfits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MDOKVSN_YM
Screeching Weasel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5eLcm4X6t8
If you like the Ramones, you should like The Queers/Riverdales http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikzfr_Qpako

They just got back together.
Fugazi--specifically the first 2 albums (13 Songs and Repeater) are essential listening for anyone--not just punks. Those two discs influenced a ton of 90's alt rock.
"Waiting Room" is probably the biggest song the mainstream has never heard.

Really?
I like Cheap Trick a lot--but calling them a punk band is something that I would never do. "Power-Pop"...along the lines of Material Issue or Mathew Sweet, but not punk...
