Here's an attempt to recommend you some punk : )
I don't have a clear idea of what you like so here is a pretty random shot:

I was planning to follow up with Optimus Prime with an anime/cartoon theme song: Gigantor. This song was part of a video, and album compilation with 90's bands doing Saturday morning cartoon theme songs. It was aptly called Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits. So somewhere through the music video Drew Barrymore interrupts with sexual innuendo, music commentary, and then ends with a subliminal message marketing robots.
Helmet Gigantor
The next band is either Desert Rock, Stoner Rock or Space Rock, idk. I guess it is a toss up between Desert or Space Rock? There are astronauts on the album cover but yet they are singing about the desert. It could go either way.
Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser
Yeah, I've had people think my username was related to Transformers before and also Unicorn. So I'm used to my username being mixed up a bit, but glad that the joke happened to be a great song.
1. I've heard of that comp before, and I'm pretty sure I've heard some of it before. That Helmet one is good, though obviously not something I'd listen to as much as Meantime or something. I like that it looks like they had fun with it.
2. I've heard of Truckfighters before, though I don't think I've listened to them. This is great though, heavy and drenched in fuzz. Really can't complain.

Thanks! I only really listen to two Helmet albums, Meantime and Betty, the latter being my favorite. Even though they were an Alt band that went on excursions into Metal, they were not gimmicky like a lot of Heavy Metal bands. They just wore regular street clothes and played really good guitar. That's what I like about them, they easy-going but had killer riffs.
Every so often I delve into Space Rock/Stoner Rock. I am somewhat familiar Truckfighters material, I'm not an expert on them. I played their album once or twice, but only really remember really diggin' a couple of songs.

I can always count on you to bring some fantastic 80's/90's heavy metal, and this is just that. Never heard of them before, but kind of reminds me of the glam side of early Alice in Chains or Saigon Kick. Love the intro riff especially.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Meantime, one of my favorites. Helmet hit a perfect blend of post-hardcore and groovy/grungy heavy metal that no other band has done quite right. Haven't listened to Betty much, but this song from it is just as great as anything off of Meantime:
