What was the first punk band that made you think, "Hey! I like punk music. It is the bomb!?" That band would then have you listening to punk music for years to come.
The band that got me into punk was probably the Clash. They were actually the first band I ever bought a CD of. I believe I was about... 9 or 10 years old. I still wasn't too much into punk though until I listened to the Ramones. My friends introduced me to them when I was 11 and I've been listening to them ever since.

Sex Pistols.
They hit when I was 14 or 15, and Never Mind The Bollocks went round school like wildfire. They were never at the heart of my musical tastes, but this album is special IMHO.

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Someone lent me a bag full of Ramones cassettes which I ignored for a very long time. Then one day out of boredom I popped them in and fell in love.
