You know DR, I thought about doing this survey too, but I was going to do it with "songs". It was a good idea to limit it to one genre.
1. A Punk song that defines the genre: "Too Drunk To Fuck"
2. A Punk band that defines the genre: I want to say something more original than the Sex Pistols, but they are in fact the answer to the question.
3. The ultimate Punk band lineup (Vox/Lead/Rhythm/Bass/Drums): Rocket fromt the Tombs, first generation. Any supergroup would likely stop being punk as The Lords of the New Church easily prove. I actually like the Lords a lot, but they weren't punk.
4. One Punk album you would want on a desert island: Confusion is Sex (it's Sonic Youth's most "punk" album)
5. One Punk song that makes you dance: "Lobotomy" by the Ramones
6. One Punk song that makes you think: "Margin Walker" by Fugazi
7. A band that should be thought of as Punk, but rarely are: Public Enemy
8. A band that shouldn't be thought of as Punk, but regularly are: The Offspring
9. British or American: American
10. Sonic Youth's most Punk Rock song (no covers): "World Looks Red"
