do any punk bands exist that actually have good vocalists?

Green Day
Dead Kennedys
Wouldn't that defeat the point?
PENNEH?
husker du
the replacements
teengenerate
the reatards
doesn't appeal to me
there's nothing wrong with wanting to listen to singers who know what they are doing
Dave Vanian
Greg Gaffin
Maybe, in terms of more traditional vocal styles at least
thanks for the recommendations but none of them do it for me
Descendents
Cheap Trick
I agree, but Punk ethos is built around creating music performed by non-disiplined musicians. In essence, just having fun making noise or making noise to spread a message.
dumb
interesting but not quite my tempo
that's a good point. but I figured there would be more bands that aren't quite on the verge of punk that still retain most of the style, or don't take themselves too seriously.
Père Ubu ?
Joy Division, Ian curtis is impressivly talented
Cancerslug
No, those were called New Wave bands in the 80's. If you had good songs, and were competent musicians, you got called a New Wave band.
This. MUG MUG MUG
The Misfits with Glenn. Arguable, but I really appreciate his vocals.
Often if you steer away from "true" punk, you'll encounter pop-punk bands or light post-hardcore bands which have a drastic difference in terms of quality overall.
...
Yeah, possibly this.
A lot of rockabilly inspired punk bands have good vocals.
Social Distortion perhaps?
Punk has a lot of good vocalists. That's like saying the majority of the rock music genre has shitty vocalists because there's not a lot of technical vocal theatrics at display. Like every form of rock music, punk excels at delivering interesting vocal timbres.
What you're looking for is probably Glenn Danzig's vocals from his time with The Misfits, but even that's a vocal performance I personally prefer due to how his voice sounds.
Our last night
Try one of their songs like sunrise or same old war
I like this, even if they seem like they're trying too hard
I like new wave. I wish there was more new wave that was a little more intense
some of their songs are good, yeah
maybe. I think I just like vocals that have more flow to them
too teenybopper
Not punk
