Greatest Punk Rock Album All Time?
 

Gotta Be Either...

Clash: London Calling or Sex Pistols: Never Mind the Bollocks

What the fuck else could it be?

London Calling got me into Punk Rock at the time :thumbsup

"The Ramones" - The Ramones
"London Calling" - The Clash

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'

classics

KILLDOZER "Little Baby Buntin'"
S.O.D "Speak English Or Die"

Hard to argue Ramones too.

The Meatmen "We're The Meatmen and You Suck"
The Ramones "The Ramones"
The Damned "Machine Gun Etiquette"
Sex Pistols "Nevermind The Bullocks"

all those mentioned are great ones. Dig Social D. too.

no, never listen to anything like this. Only Rammsten.

both kick ass

Buzzcock's "Another Music In A Different Kitchen"...

Sex pistols all the way!!

X-Ray Spex: Oh bondage, up yours

Sex Pistols without a doubt :thumbsup

I still like Weezer's first CD (the blue one)...

It's more Punk-Pop though.

NOFX... Rancid... Social D... The Offspring... The Ramones...

I could throw a few others in the mix that have had some insane albums and huge impact on the scene as well.

Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death

Or any album from The Misfits

I'll vote SeX PiStOLs ..... but change the album -Ten Pole Tudor :winkwink:

I'll also agree with Ramones ... but The Clash was Pseudo-Punk - albeit a decent album, definately not worthy of 'greatest punk album'.

Sex Pistols album sux really bad, I'd go for Clash or Ramones... and maybe the Buzzcock's :)

Reminds me. Anybody remember Flipper's first Album. Was it called Album? Ferocious fucking shit.

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.

The Clash - London Calling.

hands down. :glugglug

What about 4 Cocks and a Box?

I can't believe I forgot Suicidal Tendencies "Join The Army" and Dead Kennedys "Bedtime for Democracy"

johnny thunders?? i dunno man....

If it weren't for the NY Dolls, there would have been no Ramones.

I'll go ahead and add Stiv Bators to the list of important motherfuckers.

LOVE JOHNNY THUNDERS! His Hurt Me acoustic album always scratches me right where I itch.

DK bedtime for democracy all thefuckin wayyyy
old misfits is pretty damn good but i dunno if thats really punk??

i was never big on british punk. for me it would either have to be dead kennedys or black flag. as for which album, i couldn't say.

Here's 4 songs from that Kids record. They were literally kids when this record was recorded.

I would have to say NoFX's S & M Airlines :thumbsup

I'll agree those listed here are all important, and early, but none get my vote for the BEST. Of course, "best" is a matter of taste and preference.

I's have to say my two favorites of all time are Bad Religion "No Control" and Snapcase's "Progression Through Unlearning." :2 cents:

Sex Pistols

hmm

Would also have to include, for novelty purposes anyways....Old Skull "Get Outta School" a bunch of 9 and 10 year old punk rocker kids, haha

Nirvana counts?

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).

I have been listening to Green Day almost every day for the past few months.

"American Idiot" is a classic.

Dead Kennedys > Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death

Subhumans > Worlds Apart
