Well, I'm listening to vinyl so I thought I'd give a top ten list a shot. It ended up being a tough top 15 list. Criteria- undisputedly punk from any time period, lp or 12 inch ep, no comps or best ofs.
Here are my TOP 15 in my own warped opinion and in alphabetical order.
It was very difficult and can be easily argued because I could easily do a top 100.
Check it and post up your own list!
1.Adolescents- ST(My parents took this away from me when I started walking around singing "I Hate Children"- now I teach 3rd grade... the singer, Tony, is also a teacher now)

2.Black Flag- Jealous Again(Nervous Breakdown is my favorite Flag song, but since it's only originally on 45, this kicks any of Rollins' efforts)

3.The Clash- ST(Classic)

4.The Clash- Give ‘Em Enough Rope(Just as classic)

5.Dead Boys- Young, Loud, and Snotty( Ahhhh Stiv)

6.Face To Face- Don’t Turn Away(Personal nostalgia)

7.Fear- ST(Lee Ving is a piece of poop,but man could he piss people off in a genius way)

8.Generation X- ST(Sucks that Idol went on to create such drivel. The songs on here are timeless with all the ambition of any quadrophenia type record)

9.Germs- GI(If you've seen or heard anything live from them, this is surprisingly well put together, coherant and yet raw and dangerous)

10.The Misfits- Walk Among Us(Every song is a sing along)

11.The Ramones- Rocket To Russia(I had to narrow it down and this one won out)

12.Sex Pistols- Never Mind the Bollocks(Duh)

13.Social Distortion- Mommy’s Little Monster(My rebellious teenage years)

14.U.S. Bombs.- Garibaldi Guard(Like Johnny Rotten backed by the Clash and Chelsea. Brilliant!)

15.X- Los Angeles(Nothing beats this group of oddballs all thrown together to make perfect punk rock poetry)

Next...?
