What band got you into punk?

Hilariously I think it was the song Fuck The USA by The Exploited for me. The energy and non-radio friendliness of that song sucked me in and I started looking for punk bands at the record store. I had heard punk before that of course but I didn't even really know what it was until the nineties.

Before I heard that song, I thought no punk was "heavy enough" so for my heavy rock taste I stuck to metal.
