I am not saying these are the greatest or most essential punk albums of all time. Though if I made lists of the greatest or most essential punk albums of all time I am not sure this top ten would change much coming from me as these are the ten punk albums I have listened to the most. Obviously only 10 bands could make the list, if it was a top 20 then we would see bands like the Dead Kennedys or Black Flag. But only ten spots that could make the cut so here they are.
How could they not be on the list ?
9-G.B.H - "No Need to Panic"
If you look punk up in the dictionary this should be the album pictured.
8- Fugazi- "Repeater"
Yes, I like Minor Threat , I just like Fugazi better.
7-the Misfits - "Walk Among Us"
I have friends that maked fun of this band and call them pop punk. Haters be hatin , but their 1982 debut is the real deal for sure.
6-Iceage- "You're Nothing"
This band from Denmark si as every bit as legit as the so called classic punk bands .
4-Killing Joke - "s/t"
They might be more on the post- punk side of punk, but this is my list so I am going to count them !
3- New Model Army - "Vengence"
This 1984 debut, is rooted in rock n roll , but still has a punk sneer to it. They just happen to be better songwriters than their peers at the time shouting 'one two three go..."
3- the Stooges - " Raw Power"
Almost more rock n roll than punk, but I am putting it on here anyway.
2- Cro-mags- "Age of Quarrel'
If I had to only own one hard core album this would be it.
1- Christian Death - "Only Theater of Pain"
Singer Rozz Williams says they are punks who like Halloween , so this album counts at punk and for 1982 fits the bill more than what kids think of today in a post- Blink 182 world.
