in no particular order and based purely on influence or fond memories:
Damned, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Stranglers, Gang of Four, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Ruts, Slaughter & the Dogs, Clash, Dickies.

A list! Great idea! You should send it to Channel 4, maybe they can start making programmes about lists.
OK, so my top 10, in absolutely no order:
Stranglers, Ramones, Only Ones, Dead Kennedys, Vandals, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Consumed, Garageland (punk/indie), Jerry Spider Gang
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

aww I've run out: 999, splodgenessabounds, new york dolls, the dickies, sex pistols, Iggy & the stooges,
I can't see The Clash as punk, they were too varied for that they'd fit in any genre top 10 apart from disco from that time.
devo, the stranglers, siouxsie & the banshees aren't punk for me either but would all be top 10
Wiliers: Cento Uno/Superleggera R and Zero 7. Bianchi Infinito CV and Oltre XR2
The Rezillos
Dr Feelgood
The Stranglers
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
