Don't want to hijack your thread, FLICK, but I love the NEW YORK DOLLS.  :teddyr:  Aside from being offensively grotesque, pushing the envelop with every cliched bad-boy (girl?) characteristic, the DOLLS wrote awesome songs and could actually play.  They kick ASS!!

You didn't hijack it. Punk is in the thread title. Punk actually broke me away from being into nothing but metal when I was about 17 and broadened my tastes. That sounds weird to say, but it did. It turned me on to the early punk bands and, of course, the precursor-to-punk artists from the 70's. From there, my musical tastes mushroomed like crazy.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I didn't think so, but glad we concur.  
NEW YORK DOLLS were ahead of their time.  There's lots of bands that followed the STONES' example as far as "bad boy" attitude, and were a response to the loss of great short Rock songs, especially the 45 in favor of LP... in favor of pumped up Art (some'd say "overblown") instead of just fast beat and hot tune, and the DOLLS were one of the best examples.  

I know what you mean about "mushrooming" musical tastes.  My thing for the last nearly 10 years I suppose is finding the overlooked acts from my favorite eras: '60s, '70s, and to a different extent (it's all nostalgia) early '80s.

Punk band The Flesh Eaters released a few albums in the 90's but their key albums are from the 80's.  I love A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die.  They had a tune on the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack, too.

Don't know if they qualify as "Lesser Known" but I assume most people under 30 dont know:
Dead Kennedys

Or, they likely don't know

Victory, a fantastic German heavy metal band with a great sound and plenty of catchy hooks who seem to have flown under the radar for nearly 30 years.

Here's an album I'm currently listening to that I haven't heard in years.

Nope, not a fan of Thrash, or any of these many other Metal labels... I particularly dislike when the "singing" is gargling a raw egg, and it's as boring as Rap can get.  It ain't hardcore to me if it's nothing but attitude.  I just want music with my attitude.  We're all going to be dead a long time.   :wink:

This is one of my favorite track ever.

Yes, great band. I have a few of their albums, one that has two songs called " Son Of Lilith" and "Semtex Revolution" that have great bass lines. I should look for more of their stuff.
Tam-Riel na nou Sancremath.
Dawn's Beauty is our shining home.

An varlais, nou bala, an kynd, nou latta.
The stars are our power, the sky is our light.

Malatu na nou karan.
Truth is our armor.

Malatu na bala
Truth is power.

Heca, Pellani! Agabaiyane Ehlnadaya!
Be gone, outsiders! I do not fear your mortal gods!

Auri-El na nou ata, ye A, Umaril, an Aran!
Aure-El is our father, and I, Umaril, the king!

If you've ever heard Metal Church, Heretic, Reverend or Helstar, you MUST hear Abattoir!
