Whats your favourite albums from the first Punk era 76-80 ?

[Andy Butler]

I love the first Clash album...so much damn energy...and it sounds today more like an English garage band than so called punk.

[Lord Muck!!]

And here's another one you numpties missed. Dirk Wears White Sox - yeah! quality! tho' there's better bootlegs of the songs around it's true...
No mention of Can't Stand The Rezillos??
Or 999?
One more thing - nasty grind #6 is 100% punk - in case you didn't know. It's easy to find

[Rev. Norb]

I was just trying to keep the number reasonably low; i like pretty much every known or halfway known "punk" album from those days. I could list about 30 or 40 albums off the top of my head, and those would just be the ones i had when i was a freshman or sophomore in high school.

HOWEVER, "Dirk Wears White Sox" is fucking atrocious.

[THEE SHAME CLUB]

Dude do you got that Screamers movie? That shit is killer!

[Gringo Starr]

My list on the previous page includes Can't Stand the Rezillos. One of my fave power pop records of all time. Yeah, I could have included 999 they were great, but when would the list end?

[Black Lung]

my favorites change now and then..but i think 10 of the all time greats from 76-80 are:Radio Birdman-radios apear,The Dickies:the incredible shrinking..,The Barracudas-drop out with the...,The Ramones-the first five albums,The Saints-Im stranded and eternally yours,The Kids-the kids and naughty kids,The Electric Chairs-blattantly offfensive,The Germs-GI,DMZ-dmz,The Rezillos-cant stand the rezillos....and all the Bonn Scott ACDC shit

Sorry, going to go way off topic, but I have to second the Rodney effect Gringo mentioned. Especially in a place like the LA metro area thats so spread out, he was a bit of the glue that helped draw in people fromall over and let them know what was new and who was playing where. Yes "4 hours of Phil Spectre Rock" as the Samoans said, but lots of cool stuff mixed in between. I was 14 when I discovered his show, you'd hear the latest Black Flag demo and then maybe he'd follow it up with Love or the Music Machine followed by perhaps an in studio interview with the Ventures. Could you imagine comercial radio ever giving up 8 hours a weekend to someone like that ever again?

Ok, how about a list of favorite bands that never but an LP out?

[Cosmic]

The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus/No More Heroes
The Clash - The Clash
The Cramps - songs the lord taught us
The Damned - Damned damned damned

loads more but be here all night just a few of my favs off the top of my head

[GazzyWazzy]

The Saints-Eternally Yours
Ramones-first 3
Damned Damned Damned
X-Ray Spex
The Ruts-The Crack
The Dead Boys
Modern Lovers
Voidoids-Blank Generation
Never Mind The Bollocks
Cant stand The Rezillos
The Dickies-Incredible Shrinking and Dawn of
Blink 182

[Ivan Andreini]

Ramones! and LAMF (rock'n'roll)

[bagus jalang]

i love johnny thunders & the heartbreakers l.a.m.f the lost 77 mixes, and the early heartbreakers.
i think they're so great. born to lose, pirate love, etc are awesome.

[Ed Post-Mortem]

That sounds like a good idea. Mine would start with La Peste.

[Lord Muck!!]

Now that's just being silly
