To include Fugazi which is my all time fav punk band you have to go back more than 20 yrs.
No you don't. In on the Killtaker came out in 1993, 20 years ago. And you still have Red Medicine, Instrument, End Hits, and the Argument (which cam out in 2001).
Admittedly, you lose Repeater and 13 Songs, but they were still outstanding even on their last album. And go check out the Evens. MacKaye might be 50, but he's still got it.
Oh, and I don't know who said they don't consider Fugazi punk, but if Fugazi isn't punk, there is no such thing as punk rock. They are one of the defining bands of American punk, particularly their DIY ethic.

NOFX has almost no musical talent, but they have some funny songs. I heard them on Conan about a decade ago. Honestly, you could find kids in any high school with more than 100 kids who can play instruments better than those guys 
Bad Religion has to be at the top of the list for me. I like their stuff from the 90s and early 2000s better than their first records.
And while I'm sure they're considered sellouts by guys in Oakland who think Dennis Kucinich is a fascist right winger, Rancid and Green Day are very good, although Green Day hasn't been punk for about a decade.
Also really like Alkaline Trio.

descendants and minor threat have much more in common with what i think of when i hear "punk" as a genre. they more closely identify with 70s and what became of punk in the 90s than the sound fugazi developed.
fugazi was its own thing. too much going on there to just label it as simply "punk rock." if one was to construct a genealogy tree of punk as a genre, fugazi is def out on a branch all their own.
