your favorite punk albums
Been listening to a lot of punk lately and was wondering some opinions on the best punk albums- maybe a top 10 or 20. I saw a thread about this which was kind of similar before, but that was more about band recommendations than just strictly great punk albums.
Here's a lot of my favorites in no order: The Clash - The Clash Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material Chelsea - Chelsea Misfits - Walk Among Us The Boys - The Boys The Ramones - The Ramones The Saints - I'm Stranded Radio Birdman - Radios Appear The Undertones - The Undertones Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us The Dead Boys - Young, Loud, and Snotty Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers- L.A.M.F. DMZ - DMZ The Lurkers - Fulham Fallout The Jam - In the City Damned - Damned, Damned, Damned Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus The Buzzcocks - Another Music in a Different Kitchen Vibrators - Pure Mania |
