Nice list! Here's a few more personal favorites of mine you should look into. Misfits - Walk Among Us The Descendants - Milo Goes To College Minor Threat - Out of Step Adolescents - Adolescents(blue album)

Thanks for walking us through your list. I was especially chuffed you included The Saints (a coffee shop, convivence store and apartments now occupy what used to be the studio where they recorded the album in). They're a mixture of Punk, Garage, Blues and Horror, but *Shakes Fear & The Skeleton Gang* are a great Australian band well worth listening too.

Wow. Thank you so much. I love the variety of your pics and the explanation behind each one. I’ve watched a few of these “Top Punk” vinyl videos and this was the first one that didn’t seem picked from a previously composed list. I loved the personal connections to the albums.

Singles Going Steady counts because that was the only way to get those songs if you didn't have all the 45s. Wire's evolution from tight punk band to avant-garde post punk over three albums was unprecedented. And I agree that first Clash album and Rocket to Russia are the right choices

Excellent choices and well articulated by you. I just recently discovered The Saints and the song I'm Stranded and it just burnt a hole right through me!! Loved how you ended with Amyl and the Sniffers who are carrying on the energy of punk in their own idiosyncratic, manic way. For me I would have included something by the Stranglers, Ian Dury( Laughter?), The Cramps "Songs the Lord Taught Us", Dr Feelgood, The Bags, any of the three Birthday Party albums with Nick Cave, so many more. It's all a matter of personal taste, there is no definitive, from the Gods on high list. Great review!!

Then of course The Richard Hell album you had in the background is wonderful. Anyway I could probably come up with loads of others. The question is also if the Slits made punk music per se?

Saints were probably more popular in Europe, their albums are fairly easy to find in Sweden although prices has gone up in later years.

Hi Hanna, You've got a great top 10 there. Machine Gun Etiquette is for me, when The Damned even touched psychedelia with a few on there, esp I Just Cant Be Happy Today. I love that gigantic boom the drums have in the intro too. . I was right there as it came out, and Love Song was Number 1 on the UK charts. Love Song right through to Melody Lee is sheerly breathtaking, its one hell of a ride. Their cover of MC5's Looking At You is a killer too with Smash It Up to close it out, superb. Wire's Pink Flag i agree and their 2nd and 3rd albums are superb, with 154 one of my fave albums ever.

Many punkers went to CBGB but Max's had a constant flow of bands they were known enough not to prove themselves at CBGB which was a proving ground for many bands.

The best album I heard in 1977 was rattus norvegicus by the stranglers. I was only 14 at the time and the bass and the keyboards were totally awesome. As far as I was concerned at that time the stranglers were classed as a punk band but my honest opinion was they were a great band who could write great tunes. Their follow up album no more heroes was equally superb. They were also the best live band I'd ever seen, and I've been watching the stranglers live from the first time I seen them in 1979 till this year 2022 and they are still a superb live band.

That was my Generation and have been collecting Punk LPs ever since. I'm glad to see you appreciate all these bands that I grew up with. It's really cool to see you showcase these artist . It actually Sparks an interest in me if I haven't heard the group in a while. Hanx so much you Rock Sister 😎😝👍

Yes, I'm quite obsessed with punk and post-punk lately. Collecting whatever I can find of interest! This hobby is such a joy. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, my friend!

I consider Eddie & The Hotrods early UK punk although others label them pub rock. Whatever the category their "Teenage Depression" and "Life On The Line" albums are essentials for fans of early UK punk. Bassist Paul Gray later joined the Damned.

Nice choices especially Wire. I would of had Richard Hell & The Viodoids but no complaints. I would recommend "Ha Ha Ha" by Ultravox which is probably my favorite punk album. It was a short time in their career between when they wanted to a Bowie/Roxy art band and after when they became a wimpy synth pop band.

The count up from #1 was genius! lol, Short attention spans for the win! Not a weak album on the list. I might debate London Calling over The Clash, but it is not a punk album, and Janie Jones alone means The Clash s/t makes the list. Lots of love for The Damned. Great #1. Nice call on Bodies. A perfect anthem for the last week. I will give the Pistol show a watch. The chatter around it had put me off. You got to see I am A Cliche! I loved it. A great insight into Poly Styrene's life. Love the X-Ray Spex album. Singles Going Steady 100% deserves to be on the list. It transcends your typical compilation. Simply perfect. Wire and The Saints both kind of balked at being lumped in with punk. But both need to be on the list. I am glad to see you giving The Saints so much praise. Being from Australia and not having the punk look seems to have hurt them. As Bob Geldolf said,, "Rock music of the Seventies was changed by three bands -- the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, and the Saints." Music was moving so fast during those years. Pub Rock, Punk, Power Pop, New Wave, Post Punk, etc. But you really nailed the best of first-wave punk. The album list can be challenging as so many threw out a handful of amazing singles and then disappeared. A couple of more recent bands you might like are - Post Pink - their 8-track 13-minute EP I Believe You, OK is great. I saw them open for the Breeders and they carried it all live. Krupoviesa - From Argentina. Their EP Default is great. They cover 4 classic Fall tracks, in Spanish. Maybe pushing the punk categorization a little but worth checking out. And Ghost World is amazing. Thanks for another great video and for giving me somewhere to ramble about wonderful music.

Hi Hanna, my list probably would be similar to yours. What sucks is if you didn't buy those records some years ago you'll probably have to pay a lot of money for a punk record nowdays, like I don't have The Saints for example and everytime I look for it price is too high. Other genres as expensive as punk and in high demand are post punk, metal (specially things like trash) and rock en español. I'm always looking for anything I can get my hands on from those 4 genres. So I made a list, not of my top ten punk albums but of something you might not see very often, the top ten punk bands with the best discographies, for me tose are: Damned, Ramones, Bad Religion, Fugazi, Clash, X, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Crass , Green Day and Sleater Kinney.

Yep, "chizzick" is right! I was a teenager in London when Punk emerged and Never Mind The Bollocks captures the times perfectly for me. A lot of social strife and the reason I consider Britain's "generation X" to be earlier than the official definition (Britain's lost, angry generation didn't create Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet!). I think the playing on NMTBx is great - a rebellion against the meaningless musicality of British rock at that time (as much as I love Pink Floyd, ELP, etc, rock had become safe and parent-friendly). The lyrics on that album contain so much of the things people from older generations would say at that time. In a way it's similar to the way Monty Python picked up on things people would say in everyday speech in the early 70s like "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" and "layabouts" (as captured in their Hell's Grannies skit mocking the way people talked about the youth of the day).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mick! You are the real deal and were around when punk broke. Brilliant! Thanks for watching!

Mick - I can’t thank you enough for writing this. I could take a whole day to respond to all the insightful stuff here. My 8 year old loves a lot of this music and she loves Monty Python. There really is something special about the way early punk absorbs and critiques different accents and as an American I can still *feel* that, even if I don’t get the nuance. And then now, here in Chicago, there are 8 year old kids who are mocking their parents using exaggerated but still pretty accurate Brit accents (especially for kids!) based on Monty and thanks to you I can hear Johnny Rotten in there. And believe me, these kids have Johnny Rotten in them, and have no problem with that.

Yay, great list Hannah, the first Clash album had such a massive impact in the U.K. at the time cos everyone could relate to those lyrics so much and musically they were spot on. The Clash had so much energy as a live band it was like an electrical charge in the room! Have a listen to Crass maybe their first album from ‘79 Feeding Of The Five Thousand is a good starter, raw lo-fi punk and lyrically so insightful. Great video 😎

Thanks, Paul! So glad you enjoyed the video! I just was able to pick up an original UK press of the Clash's debut at a record show over the weekend. So stoked! The only Crass record I own is Stations of the Crash. I hope to get more! Cheers!

It's cool you picked The Damned although I have to go with the first album because it was the first British punk album at the time. I played it more than any other record. And, ouch! I didn't know Chris Bailey had died. Saw them in the Ulster Hall and he spent the whole gig trying to beg my studded wristband of me. Anyway, never heard the Gits but all the other picks are fantastic and I love the fact that you have the vibrators stranglers and the Who up there as well.

Hi Andrew! Yes, the Damned's debut is a scorcher and a solid pick as well. Yeah, I was shocked to hear of Chris Bailey's death. He definitely will be missed. Hope you check out the Gits! They're definitely worth hearing! Cheers!
