@@TheVinylDen not by anyone really into punk music, not just kids who discovered punk music with Green Day.

Great list!

For me : 5 . Descendents- Milo goes to college 4. NoFx - Punk in Drublic 3. The Damned - Damned , Damned , Damned 2. Ramones - Rocket to Russia 1. The Misfits - Walk Among Us

I grew up as a little kid in England in the original punk explosion 💥 but here are my top 5 punk albums 1. Dead Kennedys - in god we trust/ plastic surgery..... 2 . Sex Pistols - never mind the bollocks 3. Buzzcocks - singles going steady (ok a complication but essential) 4. Sublime - 40 oz..... ( Yea i love controversy!!) 5. Specials - first

Like you, my Top 5 punk albums would change on a different day...so here we go in no particular order The Clash - The Clash X - Los Angeles Ramones - Ramones Fear - The Record Iggy Pop & The Stooges - Raw Power I do like you list...the 90's had some great punk/post punk bands in that decade!

One of the albums from Jeff Rosenstock's solo career or one of his bands (especially b.t.m.i!) deserve a shout, with my favorite being Vacation by btmi, but you composed a good list. Hadn't heard about "Destruction by Definition", will give it a listen.

Dude thanks for putting up this video. Somewhat I agree and somewhat I disagree but good video about punk albums. There are elite punkers who would be mad but a lot of these bands changed punk in a good way. I like how you discuss about your experience because that’s what’s it’s all about… going through the experience. Very cool tho Chester Cat is way better than their 2003 album. I love Rancid tho Let’s Go is top for me. NOFX on point but my number 2 punk album. Suicide Machines are so dope and that album is my number 3 punk album. I want to make a best punk albums and I’ll let you know when that’s done. Cheers!

My best punk albums of all time is up on my channel. Check it out and let me know what you think,

Saw Get Dead at the final NOFX show in the UK. Really good live.

Please listen to vanilla muffins great band, pretty unknown bc short career but very nice

90s punk rock gets a lot of shit for some reason. Older fans claiming “its not really punk” is complete nonsense. All that happened was audience tastes changed and it became accepted by mainstream media which meant those bands got their songs on the radio. 2/3 years prior to Dookie and Smash those same bands were all playing in underground clubs to 10 people or less putting out music DIY and writing the same music that no one wanted to hear. They didn’t sell out or change their music just got popular.

At the same time commercial success comes at a price. Green day is a good band but punk rock mba calls the blink 183 album the best punk album just goes too far.

If you want to hear the best punk album of the last 30 years, its Mush by Leatherface. Can hear it on youtube.

Lots of these lists I can't relate to at all...but this one is close to my tastes! I would have NOFX - punk I'm drublic Lagwagon -Double Plaidnium Rancid-out come the wolves Off With Their Heads - Home Green Day - Dookie. Tough list to come up with tho... Great vid!

I was never the biggest Blink 182. But I can't deny they were pretty solid song writers and did get a lot of younger people into punk rock.

My friend , I couldn’t of picked a better 5 if I tried . Fantastic pics ….. but ……. I would of picked Let’s Go !! Maybe I think Might of 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh I don’t know ….. lol amazing choices. Take care

Let’s go is a damn good album! I initially considered it, but I think Wolves is a little more influential (mainly because of its huge mainstream success), and I love the evolution of their sound on Life along Wait (mixing in more ska and reggae).

These are my Top 10 PunkRock Albums of the 1990s: 1990s: 1. Rancid- And Out Come the Wolves (1995) 2. Bad Religion- Stranger Than Fiction (1994) 3. NOFX- Punk in Drublic (1994) 4. Green Day- Dookie (1994) 5. Face to Face- Self-Titled (1996) 6. Offspring- Smash (1994) 7. Rancid- Let’s Go (1994) 8. Blink-182 - Enema of the State (1999) 9. Pennywise- About Time (1995) 10. Social Distortion- Self-Titled (1990) 11. Schleprock- (America’s) Dirty Little Secret (1996)

I'd say. The Muffs-Blonder and Blonder, MXPX-Life In General, NOFX-Heavy Petting Zoo, Offspring-Smash, Green Day- Insomniac

@@TheVinylDen it was my entry to Nofx and it just is great in my ears opinion.

The Damned, Busscocks The Undertones , Stranglers Sex Pistols. These Are the First punk bands who started the punk era✌🏼😉

Rich Kids on LSD - Rock and Roll Nightmare. my fav Bad Brains - Rock for Light. great gas station music if your working Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime my fav is Three Way Tie for Last Bargain Music - The Magic is over its not really punk rock Strung Out - the element of sonic defiance never mentioned A.F.I - Very Proud of Ya i swear they used to be punk Bad Religion - No Control Suffer is a close second for me i appreciate the suggestions i grew up kinda poor in a mountain town by Santa Cruz Ca had friends into Good Riddance and Lagwagon but they never hit me, got a friend in Craig's Brother. Black Flag and Henry Rollins albums i enjoyed. 88 Fingers Louie the first 2 Slightly Stoopid you might skip some songs. all i can remember from the 90s my music collection is in storage currently.

Great list. How could you not have The Sex Pistols in your top five?!? JUST KIDDING!!!! I would put Sex Pistols, The Clash London Calling, The Cramps self titled, The Misfits Static Age and Ramones Mania in my top 5. I am definitely going to check out Get Dead Dancing With the Curse.

@TheVinylDen

To stop myself from sounding like a gatekeeping a** I try my best not to discuss The Sex Pistols. 😂 I think Static Age would be more highly regarded by the masses had it been released in the late '70s when it was recorded, and not in the mid '90s. I also think the Misfits would have had more sustained success in their early career (and possibly not broken up when they did) had it been released.

My all time top 3 would be The Clash’s 1st album (American version) The Ruts ‘The Crack’ and the Bad Brains first album which for years you could only get on cassette. After that maybe The Angry Samoans Back from Samoa which is arguably the snottiest punk record ever and maybe one or the other of the Stranglers first LP’s Rattus Norvegicus or No more heroes. They’re both great.

Like I said in the video, without Energy we probably don't get all of those great '90s and early 2000s punk bands. IMO it's one of the most influential punk albums of all time, and it's amazing to think Op Ivy only existed for about two years. I'll keep my opinion about The Sex Pistols to myself. 😂

1 hear nothing see nothing - Discharge 2. we are the league - anti nowhere league 3. city baby attacked by rats - GBH 4 Plastic surgery disasters - Dead Kennedys 5 the clash - the clash

FUCK YES SUICIDE MACHINES!!!!! I only just got that album in my collection a few months back. I like the 2nd album they did as well as everything from 2005-onwards. But that first album is fucking amazing

@TheVinylDen

Жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t exactly call Get Dead, The Suicide Machines, and NOFX commercial or “popular”.

Somehow it is not fashionable to be negative about blink 182 but they were so commercial. All edges of punk were removed and they sound closer to weezer than to the circle jerks. They are a very watered down version of punk and their best song all the small things isnt even that good, the middle is the same song but better.

90s best maybe. Not THE best. Apologies. Yes, we all have our tops. I would start in the 60s with The Sonics and work my way up with at least one backward nod to Link Wray.

Go back and listen to more punk bands from the 70s and 80s. There is no way youve heard much from that era of punk. Putting Blink 182 on it voidz your entire list and you had a couple decent picks. I mean seriously, Blink 182 belong to worst of list. It sounds like music for toddlers with bad taste.

You are self-admittedly a second generation punker. Your omission of Never Mind the Bollocks, Young Loud and Snotty and the debut album by the Clash is just wrong. Also, IMO, American Idiot is a better album than Dookie. Although I like that album too.

@TheVinylDen

26 күн бұрын

American Idiot is a good, but IMO it’s just not a punk album. Green Day’s last real punk album was probably Insomniac. As for the Sex Pistols, they were the ‘70s punk version of the Backstreet Boys. They were a fake band put together so Malcolm McLaren could sell clothing. Yes Bollocks ended up being an influential album, but I just don’t think it’s as good as people make it out to be. The Spunk demos are far better than what’s on Bollocks.
