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.

[Thee Strawberry Mynde]

Yeah, I originally put out a 5 track 10 inch EP as a tribute to the Redskins, 500 copies on red vinyl. Then a few years later I put out a CD which included 4 tracks off the EP.

I don't know if you've already seen them but I've posted a few videos of the Redskins on YouTube. They can be found in the Redskins group -

I thought that Damned Damned Damned was the best ever from the Damned or any other band. Until they came with Machine Gun Etiquette. I think it's out of the era that's in the original question but never the less it's on the same level and a league on its own.

[Andy Butler]

I agree.....I still listen to all of those

I kinda like the first Stranglers LP even though it sounds like Atomic Rooster at times.
