If we are looking at punk as an attitude then songs like eighteen etc could be thrown in I suppose . For me punk was just a name for a brand of rebellious music that in general was quite lightweight
The heavier end of punk had more in common with heavy rock and metal
Babylons Burning , very heavy guitar , Dead Kennedys , Pistols .....some of their stuff was flat out riffing
In the states Jesus Lizard , Big Black , Butthole Surfers , Rollins Band were all thrown in at the tail end of punk , husker du , nirvana , Melvins etc but these were all rock bands really
I often laugh when people say they hate heavy rock music yet are quite happy to listen to the heavy guitars of bodies from never mind the bollocks or lithium by nirvana , it doesn't get much heavier than that
