All good albums. I'm a HUGE Social Distortion fan. So, I'll throw 'Mainliner: Wreckage from the Past' into the mix on this thread. Or "Mommy's Little Monster'
My favorite would be The Kids s/t, a punk band from Belgium that I doubt anyone on here has ever heard. 3 dudes, one was 14 years old, one was 16 and the other one was 21.
As far as mainstream, Ramones first 3 records.
As far as influences are concerned, the 3 most important motherfuckers that ever lived were Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Johnny Thunders, in no particular order.

LOVE JOHNNY THUNDERS! His Hurt Me acoustic album always scratches me right where I itch.
Since I was actually around to see the evolution of punk, I would have to say that the foundation was laid by Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and their album "Raw Power" I consider among the best:
The Clash were great innovators, and I am partial to California bands like Black Flag, and Dead Kennedys. Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins were great spokespeople and woke people up to anarchy. As much as I liked Johnny Rotten and his post-Sex Pistols band Public Image Limited, I thought the Sex Pistols were simply a Malcom MacLaren product.
Lots of good bands named, let's not forget Bad Brains, and the NYC bands either...(besides the Ramones, which were a polyster version of the Sex Pistols - three chords and an "OY!", lol).
dead kennedys- in god we trust inc. had cali uber allies, holiday in cambodia, and half of the tape was blank so you could record other songs on it to fuck the music industry, thats punk
also the frankenchrist album was the one that got them put in court of the penis landscape geiger painting, thats punk too
