Top Ten Punk Albums

Discharge is great, but I've lately been getting into Catharsis- Passion and His Hero Is Gone - Monuments to Thieves. Now this is crust.

Stiff little fingers Inflammable Material they used to play in a bar in my local town called the Trident(I. Worked there as a student)before they got a record deal brilliant live

GBH's 'City Baby Attacked By Rats' totally defines the Punk genre for me. Fast, hard and full of attitude, If there's anyone out there who hasn't heard it get downloading!

The best punk album in my opinion is Die hards by the causualties.

10 essential UK punk albums from the early days....

1. We Are.... The League - Anti Nowhere League
1. Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers
1. The Scream - Siouxsie & The Banshees
1. Damned Damned Damned - The Damned
1. No More Heroes - The Stranglers
1. Feeding Of The 5000 - Crass
1. The Clash - The Clash
1. Sham 69 - Thats Life
1. UK Subs - Another Kind Of Blues
1. The Nash The Slash album that I can't remember the title of, but has a very odd version of Smoke On The Water on it...

And as an extra, not really punk in the way most think about it these days (though I suspect Jackhammer will back me up on this one....)

2. Alberto y Los Trios Paranoias - Skeet. If only for their doo wop version of Anarchy In The UK and the brilliant God Is Mad.

Yet another person who puts the complication on their top 10 list. How can this possibly be better than any of Dead Kennedys' LPs?

Cheers, glad you appreciated it. It took a while to cut it down to ten (See the 'Berts addition, couldn't miss that one

) but they're albums I could listen to endlessly still.
I'll try and put a top ten Oi/Street Punk list together next, thats where I fell out of love with punk but there are still albums from that era in my pile that get a regular airing.
Back to the day? Not quite... 77 punk - 79 mod revivalist - 80 skin - 82 scooterboy. Punk took me to 2-Tone too, ska in all its forms remains my biggest musical passion, but punk never goes away once you get the taste, does it?

That would be Children Of The Night, thought I'm not sure if you can consider that album punk.
And isn't he canadian?

Could agree more...I would cut off an arm to see them.

That's the album, and thought he was UK. My mistake then.
A matter of how you define punk. It certainly has the DIY ethos down to a tee, has the 'throwing convention out of the window' bit off pat and from what I remember, wasn't averse to upsetting people with 'attitude'?

OK then, I offer this as an alternative

1. Cut - The Slits
