Rancid-...And Out Come The Wolves

About 4 years ago this album was in my top 10, I had nothing but respect for it. Rancid is a traditionally ska/punk band that borders mainly on the punk side. And excellent record imo to get into the punk phase of mind considering the lyrics are full of topics such as heroin, girls, and government
Standout tracks- "roots radicals," "Time Bomb," "Ruby Soho," and "Daly City Train"
The Clash- London Calling

This was the Clash's breakthrough album, seeing as it incorporated many different genres. Songs like "London Calling" and "Clampdown" are some of the real punk songs on the album. While a song like "Train in Vain" is very similar to a mainstream rock song. "Brand New Cadillac" and "Jimmy Jazz" do have that distinct punk sound, but they are almost classic swing songs with distortion. "Rudie Can't Fail" and "Wrong 'Em Boyo" are close to being Pop Rock songs. This album transcends just being a punk classic, for I believe it a rock classic as well.
Standout Tracks- See above for what description of song you want to hear
The Misfits-Walk Among Us

Although I do like American Psycho a lot, and suggest all of you go out and listen to it at least once, i'm going to plug Walk Among Us. When I came home from my bf's house with American Psycho and Walk Among Us in my hands she insisted upon examing the music. She was appalled at such song titles like "Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight?" and "Devils Whorehouse" and told me I had to return them to my bf the next morning when I saw him. However I just went straight upstairs loaded them on the computer and that was that. So yea, that little anecdote's point is to say that the Misfits belong to a certain genre of punk called Horror Punk. Anyhow Walk Among Us was Misfits first album and considered is considered one of those must have punk albums.
I'll do the Damned later today. Then i'm taking on metal and rock.
