The best PUNK albums of all time (really?!) 

Because it's gay.

You are

@@DowStUnD86 so am I. Is that why I like the Misfits so much?

@@Crit_Hit I don't know mate. So am I.

Static age is better than walk among us, even though it's not technically an "album"

On a different list.

It's too heavy for the normie hard core listeners.

​@@anarcho-savagery2097hell yeah d-beat

@@BigDannyDangus in crust we trust \m/

@@anarcho-savagery2097 I’m part “Normie” and been fucking with Discharge for years and all other crust punk d beat bands. First band was Dissasixoate imperfect world when I was 11. I know my shit and fluent when it comes to it.

*Kelly

The Damned were probably the most influential 1st wave punk band since they heavily influenced both hardcore and goth as well as 77 style

Such a raw album some fast gems

​@@chrisold97yup

I love Damned, Damned Damned too

Oh I guess U heard the b sides , 👍

My first never mind the bollock In record cassete tape buy in 1980 44 years only punk music my best

Lol, I remember the first time I heard it, about 25 years ago, when I was a teenager in the early 2000s. I thought it was hilarious, cracked me up, they were clearly taking the piss. I know it made a lot of people mad at the time, I guess they didn’t see the humour in it.

My Dad did the same thing to my sisters "Nevermind" cassette.

100%

No Agent Orange. 😭😭😭😭😭😭⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️ grim

Agent Orange always seems like it gets left out when there's discussions about punk rock and they shouldn't whatsoever

Living in darkness is a masterpiece. Rodney Bingenheimer put their music on air within an hour of hearing their tape.

Operation ivy is ska

@@daoust26 Ska Punk

better than MGK?!1!

​@@kostaroasta ignore that guy. It's obvious he's a poser.

Great album and is one that got my oldest daughter into punk and hardcore

Indeed I do wholeheartedly concur

I know there is punk albums with more street cred from bands like The Exploited, Crass, Subhumans etc but you'd be hard pressed to find a better collection of songs on one album. Best punk album of all time IMO.

This album stays in my playlist rotation

@@alexanderkantakusiniii8411 I can't disagree

Yeah. It’s crazy.

@@Devitciiu The Misfits give him nightmares.

12 Hits From Hell > Walk Among Us

@@CABHC You can't go wrong with any of the Danzig era Misfits albums.

Many peoples least favorite

I agree. I'm on the wagon for sure. Plus, their last two LPs show no sign of slowing down.

True. I love trashed but I'd have to say that let's talk about feelings is the one where I dont skip any songs.

I think HANG is not only their best album, but one of the best punk rock albums of all time.

If they didn't stuff those rediculous cover songs into those albums they mihht get a mention.

@@xwhite2020 everything turns grey was good though. It's on the best album too so, invalid point.

{ALSO THE BIGGEST CLASH FAN UNDER 30 HERE} Agreed, the historical dimension of the band is something that the majority of listeners (at least now) aren’t prepared for or interested in. The sound and sonic quality is also a funny thing, because it DOES sound dated, but any of the remastered tracks do give more of the timeless feel that all of their fans rave about. Lastly, I think a lot of people are turned off by how British they sound, even without realizing it. It’s The Clash’s biggest paradox since they essentially started playing world music on London Calling. Without getting into that album’s specific musical influences, the global kinds of genres cooked into this record are undeniable. Yet you can’t ignore their British twang in the mix. It really clicks with me, but I can tell that that’s almost like the breaking point for some…

And false anyway.

Yeah it's a great album. Johnny Rotten's vocals are an acquired taste, but Steve Jones, Glen Matlock and Paul Cook were a magic combination. Thankfully Sid Vicious didn't do any of the writing, and very little of the recording

2 more I'd add: 7 seconds, Walk Together Rock Together Gorilla Biscuits. Start Today

Angry Samoans did the Guttermouth thing before they were out

Jip

I think Process peters out toward the end. SUFFER has no misses.

I was always more into metal than punk and had heard several BR songs, but Process is the album that really got me into them and digging back into the older albums. They basically became one of my favorites more modern punk bands.

I love BR, and Process is solid, but Broken, You Don't Belong, and a couple other tunes are meh at best. It's not Suffer/No Control/Against the Grain level as an album.

My favorite song off of the album is broken

@@ursaminorjim He's the master of glaring commissions. He's a poser.

Same here, I’m getting ready for work right now lol.

Same but his videos usually drop as I am opening up at my job. It definitely helps my morning go smoother.

So we all just on our way to work/opening up our work place? Glad we humans share processes lmao

Fun House is my favorite as well.

@@joshabreu1156 He probably doesn't know who any of those bands are.

yeah fun house is one of the best album ever (in all categories). don't know why everyone picks raw power over that one. pretty lame list overall. where is subhumans "the day the country died"?

They were still a punk boyband. Glenn and Steve are the only ones that had talent.

@@jasonconrad4314 In what way were they a boyband? None of them were 'casted'. Lydon did audition, but that's pretty standard for a band missing a band member. They weren't put together by a record label. They wrote all their own music, and chose their own musical direction. Lydon was the lyricist, so he had talent there, and his vocals were perfect for what they did. Cook was a decent drummer, and certainly wasn't in the band for any 'image' he had, as he was without doubt their most anonymous member, as well as being in the band from the start. They weren't even put together my McLaren. They asked him to manage them.

@@RevStickleback I have dug deep enough into Sex Pistols history & what you say is both complete and correct. John Lydon as just a random plugin to round out the lineup is absurd. John is as real as it gets. Even now…

Yeah. I like Damaged but pretty much don't listen to it. First Four Years ftw

Their run of Suffer, No Control, Against the Grain, Generator is absolutely GOATed

Completely agree

Rudie can't fail is one of my favorite songs all time. I heard ot for the first time in grosse point blank funny enough.

Spanish bombs is my favorite clash song. I've never seen anyone besides you mention that song ever ! 👍

@@thunderstruck560 You just summed it up.

Oooooo, that's my fav FUGAZI record!

The merchandise will keep us in line

Never liked it.

🤣😂🤣😂......

Absolutely!

Lol, I just listened to that today!

Yep. I was born 1983 and my CD collection spans music from the 1950s all the way through to albums that have only just been released this year. I listen to a lot of music from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, all well before my time. Most of my favourite bands were at their peak in the 1990s, which is the first decade I consider to be “my music” I guess, when I was old enough to be aware of it at the time it was being recorded and released. Great music is timeless and transcends generations.

@petertrezise4545 He has no idea who the The Saints are.

Eternally Yours Is a better album overall. Stranded is one of the best ever punk singles though, but would probably be considered more garage rock by today’s standards.

Nailed it on the Clash. They always seemed more alternative/new wave to me than straight up punk.

@@sollamander2206 Definitely nailed it.

The Clash's first album is punk AF. Their later albums were more experimental with a mix of reggae, 50s rock n roll, and even hip hop(Magnificent Seven).

@MaxWhiteArabiLouisiana the fact that they came right out of the gate with this album is still insane to me. I liked punk before I discovered them, but this album made me fall in love with punk/hardcore.

@MaxWhiteArabiLouisiana I just love their sound but also Jellos lyrics. The humor and the fact that they called out the punk scene itself made me like them even more.

The older I get the more I appreciate DK, musically and lyrically

It’s a great album but I think Plastic Surgery Disasters is even better.

Amen

Big Facts. Haven't listened to it in forever though. Gotta fix that.

Hell-o was the shit!

Such a great comment! Underrated and not talked about enough album. It’s a no skip album, and often forget about because it’s their only punk album

Yeah ! all So the first COC album

❤❤❤❤

YESSS I got Exit English in 9th grade and it blew my little religious mind. It was amazing. Now I'm not religious and am very bleeding heart.

I was in Olympia when they came out, Oly Hardcore Fest was wild for 2 years. GLOSS’s shows were as great as their demo album. (I much prefer their demo to their studio album).

Great album

@USHARDY I agree. I just bought it 2 months ago. Easily one of the best of the modern era of punk bands.

Propagandhi - Ska Sucks is the first MP3 I ever downloaded from the internet...I still have the original file, Date Modified: July 4 1998

No misfits,no The exploited,no The subhumans,no Operation Ivy,no The Vandals wtf loudwire??

Full Circle, Straight Ahead, and Land of the Free? are just as good as those you mentioned. PW was easily and honestly the most consistent punk band of 90s when it came to releasing quality albums. Literally all of them are great.

Really didn't like pennywise, all their records sounded the same to me.

You’re surprised to see two of best punk bands of all time on a best punk rock albums list?

My bro got kicked out cause he was so drunk and stripping in portage la prairie. Wild times

I love Propagandhi as well but I wouldn't consider them a punk band. I think their first 2 albums are punk the rest move more toward thrash. Not sure they should be on the list. Also Finn's take is pretty on point for him, he's the classic guy who grew up in the scene then turned into a dullard.

Yeah we got Pennywise, Propagandhi, Strung out, and Rancid

​@punkrockstormchaser That's a no then....

@@davedennison7386 they’re relevant lol

@@punkrockstormchaser But were these records released after the 90s? I might hurt some true punk rockers feelings, but IMHO bands like early Billy Talent or Rise Against were pretty punk and relevant at the beginning of the 2000s.

@@burningtheevidence8038 definitely but that’s why I say strung out and Pennywise especially Strung out had an American paradox and exile which definitely took a heavier direction but were badass Then pennywise with the four albums they put out in the 2000s when they got way more political (as if they weren’t already)

I am flabbergasted that Subhumans isn't anywhere on this list either, but I have a feeling he would go on a rant about TDTCD that I wouldn't agree with haha

ya he seems to just not care to listen to bands before his time. lots of 70's/80's bands that didn't make the list (and that finn probably doesn't know much about) - buzzcocks, wire, jam, mission of burma, crass, husker du, patti smith, no means no, wipers, the ex (netherlands), disciplina kicme (serbia/yugoslavia), rites of spring, dickies, maybe even velvet underground

Agreed I always thought Let's go was there better punk album

My name is Tim. I'm a lesser known character

Personally I'm more into Rancid 2000, but these 2 albums are definitely great.

If we're talking basslines though, I would have to vote Rancid 1993. Matt Freeman is for sure one of my favorite bass players

@@caffeinatedinsanity2324 that album does have some stellar basslines

Instead of what?every list is a bit subjective

Pennywise and Strung out as the best punk albums of all time? Just no. All of the Fat Wreck skater music from the 90’s needs to be on a separate pop punk list

Strung Out should never be on any list of best punk albums

WTF No Rise Against!?! Loudwire should be conscripted into the Ukrainian army!!!

The Exploited wouldn't even make the top 25 Edinburgh bands...

Nope, youg and love the clash, but I also like green day and weezer

Lol. He named all Randy's favorite bands

Barmy Army!

Barmy Army!

I find that Americans only know the Exploited if they know about all Wattie's arch-enemies: Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Slayer and the rest.

@@EdwardAveyard Hard to come up with a better definition of punk than Wattie...anywhere...

I don't know... Wattie kinda rubs me the wrong way, I am incapable of him. Always appeared to me as that drunk guy in a party that would start unnecessary drama out of nowhere.

There is not 1 bad song on the first Dead Boys album. It should be on there. You are right. I am a big Dolls and Thunders fan. But maybe they consider it more proto-punk. But on the other hand they have The Stooges on there so who knows.

@@magnuslarsson9161 the heartbreakers were full on punk

@@carlosgarciaruiz1102 Yes for sure.

Yep. Could have replaced Strike Anywhere and GLOSS and checked both the early 2000s box and the Trans box, and with a better record. (And yes I know Laura was Tom at that point but just saying)

Transgender Dysphoria Blues is brilliant too.

That or Wrong by Nomeansno.
