187. The Dead Kennedys

Much of the work of the Dead Kennedys showed off the best that Punk music had to offer. With the political anger of British Punk stars and the fiery rapid approach of American Punk performers, the Dead Kennedys may not have broken down that many doors in the Punk Rock genre but among the Punk bands of the early 80’s, the Dead Kennedys had few peers, and those who loved the genre revered them.
