As a person who lived through this entire era, I see a few bands you might have missed: The Dictators, The Dead Kennedys, Stiff Little Fingers and The Buzzcocks
When it comes to Punk Pop of the 90's/2000's, The Buzzcocks created the template. Pete Shelly was kind of out at the closet at a time that could still get you beaten up. If we didn't realise at the time, when he released his solo single Homosapien, he as good as told us. They kind of inspired Factory records (and the entire UK indie label scene) when they self released their first EP. True hero's, and they had the songs.
I can never believe how Crass is left out of so many punk lists.. they are a founding father type band that took punk to the max. And no one ever mentions them ..
Absolutely agree. Was just looking to see if anyone mentioned them in the comments. Maybe they were too punk for the average punk listener? I’m always blown away by that too. Hands own the best!
If you want to get into pioneering art-punk "Pink Flag" by Wire in the UK and the first Suicide album from the US are both great. (Actually "Chairs Missing" is my favorite Wire record, but it's their second record.) You could also throw "Junkyard" by The Birthday Party (with early Nick Cave) from Australia into the mix.
I love road to ruin ramones..its my fave studio album by ramones but love 1st..leave home. Rocket..after ruin its alive came out wow...!..crank that up...wonderful classic live album...the days when they came on..joey shouts hey!...we're the ramones and this is called rockaway beach!-...1234's...from dd...then thanks very much!..goodnight...from joey😄no messin..awesome 👌 gazramone
I wonder if dawn of the dickies by the dickies will ever wind up on any top 15 punk album list. They are pivotal, I guess, more than the deep roots of punk.
The Saint's would get quite annoyed at being called punk, Especially their lead singer Chris, I got to learn this first hand lol , For the record I think they're early stuff is punk!
Really like your casual conversational delivery. I've listened to a lot of punk & more for decades but never new a 1/10 of the stories & embarrassingly missed some of the lyrics. Thanks.
Siouxsie & the Banshees's debut album "The Scream", allthough not your typical "punk" album as the evolution to come is already obvious is a landmark. Listen to their cover of The Beatles's "Helter Skelter". But the real testimony of their punk belongings is on "Join Hands", their second album: "The Lord's Prayer". Pure punk anthem!
I was fortunate enough to become close friends with Stiv while working in a factory in the mid 70’s Youngstown, Ohio. He was the craziest dude I ever met -he once mooned me while driving his pea green Fiat convertible. I recall when he applied for the job he walked into the plant wearing red wife beater t shirt, skin tight rattlesnake pattern pants and chrome plated platform shoes.
I would say The Damned kicked it off in the UK & we got import copies early on in NYC of New Rose which was released in ‘76 a month or so before Anarchy was released. . Also The VU White Light White Heat was an early influence.
Damned were a band of some notice but again werent the band that pushed any boundaries or caused contraversy,punk bands did that.Its hardly surprising all this debate on what band was the first punk band springs up decades after a tabloid first mentioned the first band as punk,The Sex Pistols.Then its debated years after with all these kids not born at the time."No green day were the first punk band"😂.
Thanks for that. I am subscribed. Every album you held up put a smile on my face. Great memories of great times listening to those and others. So I won't complain about you not having X or Television !
A lot of these were my intro into not only the genre, but the community I’ve been a part of for a very long time. Fortunately, with the internet a person can connect not only to the “Punk 101” bands, but to the plethora of DIY bands spanning each decade, region, country, etc. Listening to MRR radio is a great way to start as well. They play both current punk and those from the past. The Razorcake podcast, as well. Just for fun, these are my favorite songs from each of the albums mentioned: 1. Shake Appeal 2. Trash 3. I Wanna Be Sedated 4. Hey Little Girl 5. Love Comes In Spurts 6. Night Of The Living Dead 7. Sunglasses After Dark (top Cramps song overall, coincidentally) 8. Holidays In The Sun 9. Career Opportunities 10. Germ Free Adolescents 11. Love Song 12. I Luv I Jah 13. Screaming At A Wall 14. What I See 15. and since ‘MIA’ is a discography… Richie Dagger's Crime (from LP) / Forming (out of 7”ers)
Subscibe to Razorcake. It's $15 in the USA. They are non-profit. Good people doing good work. Every time an issue shows up, every 2 months, I totally forget I have a subscription.
I may have to look at Raw Power again, but for me, Fun House is just legendary. Moments that can never be duplicated ever, in 1970. Wow. Enjoyed the video alot. You're coming along well over here! 😁
Another amazing albums review video Sam. I love X-Ray Spex too. Such an underrated band. Check out the documentary on Polystyrene, released a couple of years ago. Her daughter is very much involved in the making of the documentary. Watching from London UK.
Love that you started with a bunch of American bands! Some of the songs on Blank Generation, Hell first performed with Television going back to 1974, which you can hear on some crappy sounding bootlegs. I don't know that Hell and Verlaine stayed friends later on -- it's been a while since I read Please Kill Me, an essential oral history of the NY scene!
Great list Sam, I would personally include the Saints' "I'm Stranded", one of the first punk albums & brilliant. Also the Stranglers' "Rattus Norvegiocus", which is brilliant (possibly considered not pure punk by many,) and Stiff Little Fingers' wonderful "Inflammable Material". Patti Smith's first 2 albums are also classics, punk in attitude, definitely.
Also, "Black and White." That is solid punk, imo. (editing to clarify I meant "by The Stranglers.") I have never known how to genre-classify early Patti Smith music. I guess punk is as close as you can get, but she is sort of her own genre. lol. It's like, you really can't just call Bob Dylan a folk singer.
Ah yes !!! How could you forget about the Strangies ? R.I.P. Dave Greenfield !! Hugh , J.J. , Jet Black and such stories about Vlad's affections for his camel / Cuba / pearl necklaces ?? 🤡
I've watched more than a few punk rock "best" reviews, many by dudes my age (58), and yours is the best so far. I agree with 80% of yr picks. Just a great job!! Excellent.
Great list, to make it 21 albums I would include Dead Kennedys 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables', Eddie & the Hot Rods 'Beginning of the End'', Wire 'Pink Flag', Ian Dury and the Blockheads 'New Boots and Panties', The Toy Dolls 'Absurd-Ditties' and Skafish 'Skafish'.
GI...that's probably one of my favorite albums EVER. Nice list. Have all of these. Some I've sold for dope years back, sadly. But I'm buying back some shit.
Just played Smash It Up the other day! Nice choices, and I’m drooling over your super clean collection. All my Punk LPs are originals (that I bought used and cheap of course) and none of them are in mint-ish condition. Bullocks and Blank Generation are in pretty good shape (although the dog gnawed the Pistols cover) for $2 late 70s used acquisitions. One fun record I think I would add is the Vibrators Pure Mania. Fast and loud, like punk should be mostly.
Great list Sam! Based on your list I would add these 5 to round out your top 20. Wipers - Is This Real? Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables Descendents - Milo Goes To College Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady Death - For The Whole World To See *bonus* The Monks - Bad Habits (while originally conceived as a spoof of punk rock, this is one of the best punk/new wave albums ever! So catchy and clever and funny!
Yeah, i agree DKs, Descendents and Buzzcocks should’ve been included. And maybe also SLF’s Inflammable Material (one of my favourite albums ever) and perhaps also Incredible Shrinking Dickies as the West Coast response to Ramones
Agent Orange and Descendents for punk with great musicianship. Also Bad Brains but their more sophisticated stuff like "I Against I" isn't really punk.
I’m listening to records for my best of 1979 video. GI by the Germs is not messy at all. It is amazing how tight they were on this. I’m not hating. I love that you are embracing Punk. Love your channel.
The Cramps, were never considered punk, by many people, including The Cramps, but certainly loved but punks and new wavers. I'm certainly a huge fan! You should read every thing you can about them, very interesting. They took more from the deepest, dark and sometime obscure origins of rock and roll. Poison Ivy, wrote all the music and lyrics, she is a master mind and one of my favorite guitarists. Sadly, since the death of Lux in 2009, we will probably never hear from her again. Stay Sick, is my favorite. I discovered them around 84'. Good list you have :)
Good video. I moved to London in the late 80s and although it was a decade after the original punk scene had died it was still awesome to be there. I stayed for three years. Anyhoo, recommendations: you should check out one of the early first wave American punk bands, a band called THE SCREAMERS. Unfortunately they never released any records, but there's live recordings and demos out there. Also check out a doco film called PUNK: ATTITUDE. It's here on youtube.
Great list. Really tough to narrow it down to 15 (I know, I've tried). I lived through this era like others who commented - Suicidal Tendencies' debut album also makes my top 15 list. Keep up the good work.
Hi TS! New subscriber here. Been watching your vids, love this punk focus. You've shown some great LPs like Richard Hell, Minor Threat, The Germs, Black Flag, NY Dolls...I found The Germs OG pressing LP at a Goodwill many years ago and also New York Dolls. My top 15 in no particular order: 1. Fugazi, 2. Minor Threat, 3. Dead Kennedys, 4. The Germs, 5. The Damned, 6. MDC, 7. Spermbirds, 8. Nations On Fire (hardcore band from Belgium) 9. Deadguy 10. Youth of Today 11. Wire 12. Gang of Four 13. Buzzcocks 14. Serpico 15. Mind Over Matter. Take care! ~ Nicola
Great list, you should include the album by DEATH, for the whole world to see.. the Hackney brothers. It came out in 1975.. one of my all time classics!! In my opinion one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time!!
Ramones pioneered down-picking and ferocious rhythm guitar, and NY Dolls mastered the loose and jangly guitar solos. So many great punk bands! I recently discovered Magazine's Shot By Both Sides, and Hawkwind's Space Ritual!
Hi Sam! You have a new fan! I also recently found Omaha Introvert, and I love that there are young women out there with tastes in music similar to mine. I am kinda old, and was there when this music was created, and it still speaks to me. There is one that I got when it was released: HaHaHa by Ultravox (1977). This was their second album. John Foxx was the singer and main writer. He made the first three Ultravox albums. Then, Midge Ure took over for album four, Vienna. And they became popular! I would recommend the first three albums, but HaHaHa is definitely punk. Love your different hair colors! My wife changes her colors all the time! Keep rockin'! Love your program!
Have 90% of those albums and saw 50% of the band's. Black Flag in 82 and 84 was one of the most memorable. The hardcore stuff like Discharge, GBH, UK Subs, Anti Nowhere League etc etc. Great video!!
Nice lineup and a good analysis comparing the Dead Boys' sound to that of their "native" NYC compatriots. If you expanded the list you might consider adding The Slits, Avengers, and as you mention, X.
One of my top 10 punk LPs was The Dead Kennedys 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables', and of note from that, 'The Stars and Stripes of Corruption '! Awesome LP! And who could forget 'Holiday in Cambodia'!
@@scottchapman2870 DKs were great either way👍..me n a mate were talking about what a great lp fresh fruit is,last night, it came up due to dh peligro passing away recently..
@@scottchapman2870 Hopefully they still fit😉...yeah its a real shame, he was a great musician....."the sum if our surroundings" album by Peligro,is well worth checking out, if you haven't heard it....
Ramones - Rocket To Russia Black Flag - First Four Years Minutemen - What Makes A Man Start Fires? X (Austalia) X-Aspirations Saints - I'm Standed The Birthday Party - Junkyard Radio Birdman - Radios Appear T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me Circle Jerks - Group Sex
THANK YOU, Sam!!"Love your channel! My 16 year old daughter is expanding her music dimensions with the names you're dropping. I grew up in late 70s/80s with most bands here. Just curious - have you heard recordings by Indian Jewelry and/or Studded Left? It's my favorite sound now 24/7 😁
Thanks for this review! I totally agree about the status of Iggy & the Stooges' 'Raw Power', but after that the best two 'new wave' hard rock bands of the 1970s were both Australian: the Saints (especially the first two albums, 'Stranded' and 'Eternally Yours') and Radio Birdman (check out the 2:30-minute studio version of 'New Race', their cover of 'You're gonna miss me', 'Do the pop' and 'Hand of law'). The Sex Pistols were great but the Saints and Radio Birdman left them for dead.
Sex Pistols got barred from nearly every venue in the UK.They were met with 50 police squad cars when they arrived in usa.They got sacked from several record companies before they signed for Virgin.Songs like Anarchy in the UK defined the genre.They created far more negative publicity than any other band in the world ever including the grundy tv interview.They released their really only one album with BOLLOCKS emblazoned on it,no othe band has done that and which was the best album ever made.First and best punk band right there for all them reasons.
Hi Sam 🌞 ! - I'm glad Johnny Thunders ⛈️ traveled to London to not only inspire Malcom McLaren but record his terrific So Alone album with the masterpiece " You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory " .. Will never forget a Friday night in early 1979 when I saw The Clash on their second ever 🇺🇸 show at The Santa Monica .. They were absolutely amazing ..especially Topper & Bo Diddley opened ! Remember " Some People Think Little Girls Should Be Seen & Not Heard .. But I Say .. 🎷 Take Care Sam ✌️
Nice collection of influential albums! In my Top 15, maybe in your Top 20, I‘d surely put Suffer by Bad Religion, it created a new style of melodic core… and one album by The Descendents… for the harder sound, I‘d mention The Exploited! Beat The Bastards is still such an aggressive banger of an album! Greetings from Germany 👍🤘
I might include the self-titled *Generation X* feat. Billy Idol, and also *Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts.* Amd, while perhaps not essential, but I'd also like to offer a nod to the deeply interesting 70's proto-punk band Doctors of Madness, who made stellar music, and introduced electric violin to punk music. Also, a mention for the Ultravox debut album, which was very punk, before they went more new wave. Speaking of new wave bands that started out punk, XTC's *White Music* was very raw and punk before they softened up a bit and became the seminal new wave band we came to love. Also, a nod to Mission of Burma, because I love them.
Road to Ruin was my first Ramones record, too. First Ramones album with Marc Bell, who along with Voidoids was also in early 70s proto metal band DUST, who you should check out if you haven't already.
I always go into these lists with a grain of salt...because so many miss the mark. but you opened with the same 3 albums I would have picked. Outstanding review that hits the mark close to dead center. Although I wish the Dead Kennedys were prominently placed in that list, since I think they had pretty massive clout and influence...and staying power, but for a list this close to perfect I can forgive much. That said, every band named had a right to be there, even the obscure ones that time forgot but fans never did. Also...love the name...Telegram Sam is still a fave song...both the Bauhaus and TRex versions. I was too late for the dawn of punk, but I truly loved the waning years when the bands that lasted were at their peak creatively. I was a gutter punk scene rat in the late 80s/early 90s in MI, when local music was still vibrant and punk/goth/glam/industrial/rave/alternative were just a great mush of surprises and sonic wonder. I miss it sometimes, but at least I've got the music still, which...in many ways, was what I loved most. The raw, aching hunger to communicate something to the world. Discontent, rage, lust, joy, frustration, hate, fear, self loathing, lust for life, what have you...but from inarticulate howl to carefully crafted poem/song, it was always a struggle to say something honest and with less artifice than pop or disco offered the world. That...I admire.
Great List.....a few omissions but I get these are lps that you personally own. MC5 as a founder group, I think you need to add Patti Smith...cannot have a conversation of New York punk without her. My FAVE band ..The Heartbreakers need to be talked about...then in the UK bands such as Siouxsie and the Bandshees, The Slits, Generation X, The Jam, Wire etc. I have over 700 OG late 70's Punk lps......LOVE THEM!
Nice choices, and as a UK resident, some unfamiliar ones which I will have to check out. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude to our American cousins for those early pioneers such as Iggy and The New York Dolls both of whom were hugely influential. I was a little surprised that you didn't include The Dead Kennedys in your list. They were very popular here in the UK. Great video, entertaining and informative, thank you.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts (1977) or Hahaha by Ultravox! (1977)..Two groundbreaking albums by bands at the forefront of the movement in the UK..
I always find it curious and fascinating that Genya Ravan (Goldie & the Gingerbreads, Ten Wheel Drive) produced the Dead Boys. She's covered in that CBGB drama/documentary that came out some years back on Hilly. You might like her singing voice. Check out "Stay With Me" on Brief Replies by Ten Wheel Drive.
Aloha Sam, Awesome Video on 15 Punk record albums I should own. Over the years a few of these bands have made it, in & out of my collection, I recall having a promo copy of the New York Dolls 1st lp, I also purchased from Sears Iggy Pop Raw Power, & in about 1977 I started getting a lot of promo copies of bands on the SIRE record label. One of my first introduction to (Fuck the Establishment) on vinyl was a band called, DAVID PEEL AND THE LOWER EAST SIDE, in 1968 they released an album called HAVE A MARIJUANA. With song like : Mother Where Is My Father? I Like Marijuana. Here Comes A Cop. I've Got Some Grass. Happy Mother's Day Up Against The Wall. I Do My Bawling In The Bathroom. The Alphabet Song. Show Me The Way To Get Stoned. We Love You. I remember my neighbor playing that album, when his mother came home from work & she went right for his Stereo & took the album off the turntable & cracked it in half....lol the song that was playing was called "Up against the wall"(mother fucker). Those sure were fun times 1969....lol Thanks again Sam for a amazing Video, I'll check out some of these bands. Mahalo Ed
for anyone that likes Raw Power, Young Loud & Snotty and Machine Gun Etiquette ..... I can recommend checking out Radios Appear by Radio Birdman ... it feels like it belongs with those 3. Fans of The Cramps, The Misfits and The Gun Club might want to check out In Heaven by The Meteors which is a classic Psychobilly album I also shout out to Shock Troops by Cock Sparrer and Death of Innocence by Legal Weapon as records that deserve more attention by punk fans.
Nice list! Some of my essentials might not seem like punk at first glance, but bear with me, I'm an old man who tends to disregard genre barriers. Regardless, this is what we listened to back then... Adding to your list... The Plasmatics - New Hope for the Wretched Blondie - Blondie The Patti Smith Group - Easter Pearl Harbor and the Explosions - Pearl Harbor and the Explosions Johnny Thunder and the Heartbreakers - L.A.M.F. Joan Jett - Joan Jett The Jam - All Mod Cons; In the City The Dictators - Bloodbrothers Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True; This Year's Model The Professionals - The Professionals The Talking Heads - Talking Heads '77 The B-52s - The B-52s Urgh! A Music War soundtrack with shout outs to -- Television - Marquee Moon New York Dolls - Too Much, Too Soon The Clash - Give 'em Enough Rope; Black Market Clash (the original 10" is great, but the expanded version is basically a collection of A's B's and EP's) David Bowie - Lodger Johnny Thunder - So Alone Syl Sylvain and the Teardrops - Syl Sylvain and the Teardrops The Rolling Stones - Some Girls Wreckless Eric - Wreckless Eric Stiff Records - Live Stiffs Live; A Bunch of Stiff Records Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! Cheers
Good start, you could add in the Avengers, DOA, Flipper, the Pagans (Cleveland) then get a hold of the compilation "Nuggets" of bands of the mid-'60s that formed the basis of punk. You can go back even further to the Sonics and other PNW bands from the early '60s and '50s outcasts like Link Wray....Just keep discovering! Late '70s compilations from when Punk was getting started are a good source, too.
excellent list. I would put also the selfnamed Velvet Underground álbum and Dead Kennedys. However, like you said, you could named at least 20 other albums... Again, very good choice. THX.
the Adverts " crossing the red sea " , the Only ones " the class , the jam and the saints , was my favorites in 1978... and another...now i am 72years old 😛
I don't have a lot of punk so I'm tuning in to see if I have any at all here. *sigh* well I did better than I thought... I have three of the ones you showed. But I score a bit higher if I go by band instead of by album. I can double that number to 6. Still not great so I have work to do. Nicely done as usual, Sam. 😎👍
This was so entertaining and the choices were excellent. I'm 58 and would have included some Lou Reed and Gang of Four "Entertainment!". It's nice to know that there are young people who care about any of this!
Solid list! A few I dont have on wax. I would add more hardcore like Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Descendents. Also UK legends like Sub Humans , Crass, GBH, Exploited.
A good list . I would also add : The Boomtown Rats self titled debut The Clash : Give ‘Em Enough Rope The Ruts : The Crack The Saints : I’m Stranded , or , Eternally Yours Teenage Head’s self titled debut , or , Frantic City Thanks !
You have FANTASTIC taste in Punk Rock! Some of my all time favorites: *Bad Brains - Rock For Light* *Germs - G.I.* *T.S.O.L. -T.S.O.L. EP* T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me* *Agent Orange - Living In Darkness* *Black Flag - Jealous Again* *Misfits - Walk Among Us* *Circle Jerks - Group Sex* *Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables* *X - Los Angeles* *X - Wild Gift* *X - Under The Big Black Sun* *Adolescents - Adolescents*
I still have a lot of my original Punk vinyl. The Germs album was separate from the live material, thus 2 different albums. Pat Smear was the original guitarist for the Germs until the death Darby Crash. Pat later played with Nirvana, see the MTV LIVE album, thus losing another band member. "The night of the living Dead Boys", is a must listen to! Also try LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH, the band. Stiv Bators at his best!
Good stuff. In our circles there's at least one big fan for each of them. But some here ask another question: Put the records of artists from the UK and the U.S. to the side for a moment - what have you found? Or shorter: did you, or anybody, look?
I am glad you had DEAD BOYS on your list! Keep up the great job Sam! You are true Music lover, you have lots of vinyl gems 💎 and you you are only in your mid 20s!
As a person who lived through this entire era, I see a few bands you might have missed: The Dictators, The Dead Kennedys, Stiff Little Fingers and The Buzzcocks
When it comes to Punk Pop of the 90's/2000's, The Buzzcocks created the template. Pete Shelly was kind of out at the closet at a time that could still get you beaten up. If we didn't realise at the time, when he released his solo single Homosapien, he as good as told us. They kind of inspired Factory records (and the entire UK indie label scene) when they self released their first EP. True hero's, and they had the songs.
WHAT?! 🧐😳
WHY? Girls don't like Biafra's voice?
DK forever
Yeah realy missed, especialy The Dead Kennedys
Also The Ruts
I can never believe how Crass is left out of so many punk lists.. they are a founding father type band that took punk to the max. And no one ever mentions them ..
To me, they‘re musically really unattractive. 🤷🏼♂️
Crass,Conflict,Subhumans etc. Could do top anarcho list! 🏴
Absolutely agree. Was just looking to see if anyone mentioned them in the comments. Maybe they were too punk for the average punk listener? I’m always blown away by that too. Hands own the best!
@@MrChristbait Conflict is one of the craziest bands I've ever seen. Like a sonic assault.
Seen conflict numerous times over the years.
There's maybe 2 albums I'd have from that list, black flag and X-ray specs. The rest? Meh.
"Machine Gun Etiquette" is incredible it's a beautiful combination of punk/glam music.
It’s a masterpiece.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how do " . I fuckin love the damned. Saw them at the Fulham greyhound in 79, 15 years old and jumping about like a lunatic.
Glam?
Yeah, Captain Sensible is a big
Marc Bolan/T-Rex fan.
my favourite Damned album.
Worth adding Pink Flag by WIRE to your collection.
That album influenced a lot of the bands you showed. Great job!
Pink Flag is one of the greatest Albums ever made
Anything by Wire. Often overlooked.
First Wire album is killer! Agreed. 👍
LOVE LOVE LOVE Wire! I discovered them when Our Swimmer came out. I was 13 and bought the 7"!
I love punk rock, grew up with it and I just heard Pink Flag for the first time, how did I miss it back then?
If you want to get into pioneering art-punk "Pink Flag" by Wire in the UK and the first Suicide album from the US are both great. (Actually "Chairs Missing" is my favorite Wire record, but it's their second record.) You could also throw "Junkyard" by The Birthday Party (with early Nick Cave) from Australia into the mix.
@Triple6 Clique Wire to this day continues to knock me on my ass
Chairs Missing is their best album, I agree, although the other two of their early stuff were great also...
Great choices. You also can't go wrong with "Give 'Em Enough Rope" by The Clash. That's my personal favorite.
Yep! That would be my choice of Clash album too 👍🏻
Seeing younger people embrace vinyl, and GOOD vinyl... it warms my heart massively.
My favorite RAMONES album is "LEAVE HOME". It's their 2nd album released in January 10th 1977.
Agreed
@@chrisallen766 me too

I wonder if dawn of the dickies by the dickies will ever wind up on any top 15 punk album list. They are pivotal, I guess, more than the deep roots of punk.
An Australian punk band “The Saints” and in particular the album “Eternally Yours” worth checking out as well.
The Saint's would get quite annoyed at being called punk, Especially their lead singer Chris, I got to learn this first hand lol , For the record I think they're early stuff is punk!
セインツは素晴らしいパンクバンドです。
@@beano1eye Whatever it is, the first few releases by The Saints are amazing!
And X X-Aspirations LP.
Great choice!
Really like your casual conversational delivery. I've listened to a lot of punk & more for decades but never new a 1/10 of the stories & embarrassingly missed some of the lyrics. Thanks.
Siouxsie & the Banshees's debut album "The Scream", allthough not your typical "punk" album as the evolution to come is already obvious is a landmark. Listen to their cover of The Beatles's "Helter Skelter". But the real testimony of their punk belongings is on "Join Hands", their second album: "The Lord's Prayer". Pure punk anthem!
I still like a lot of Siouxsie stuff
Its not punk its post punk
I was fortunate enough to become close friends with Stiv while working in a factory in the mid 70’s Youngstown, Ohio. He was the craziest dude I ever met -he once mooned me while driving his pea green Fiat convertible. I recall when he applied for the job he walked into the plant wearing red wife beater t shirt, skin tight rattlesnake pattern pants and chrome plated platform shoes.
Fantastic List TS.............And your synopsis of each album is so on the money and articulate. Hope you do more videos.
I would say The Damned kicked it off in the UK & we got import copies early on in NYC of New Rose which was released in ‘76 a month or so before Anarchy was released. . Also The VU White Light White Heat was an early influence.
Damned were a band of some notice but again werent the band that pushed any boundaries or caused contraversy,punk bands did that.Its hardly surprising all this debate on what band was the first punk band springs up decades after a tabloid first mentioned the first band as punk,The Sex Pistols.Then its debated years after with all these kids not born at the time."No green day were the first punk band"😂.

Thank you for including X-Ray Spex. One of my favorite bands of all time.
Who can resist those eyes????!!! I had to sub. Great work explaining and providing insight on those punk albums.
I am a huge fan of Punk Rock and "Oh Bondage! Up Yours" is an amazing song! RIP Polly S.

A lot of these were my intro into not only the genre, but the community I’ve been a part of for a very long time. Fortunately, with the internet a person can connect not only to the “Punk 101” bands, but to the plethora of DIY bands spanning each decade, region, country, etc. Listening to MRR radio is a great way to start as well. They play both current punk and those from the past. The Razorcake podcast, as well.

15. and since ‘MIA’ is a discography… Richie Dagger's Crime (from LP) / Forming (out of 7”ers)
Subscibe to Razorcake. It's $15 in the USA. They are non-profit. Good people doing good work. Every time an issue shows up, every 2 months, I totally forget I have a subscription.
Solid line up for sure.. 👍🏻 thanks for putting me on to Richard Hell
I may have to look at Raw Power again, but for me, Fun House is just legendary. Moments that can never be duplicated ever, in 1970. Wow. Enjoyed the video alot. You're coming along well over here! 😁
I was waiting for Germs. That's one of my favorite albums ever, and so is a lot of the Ramones early stuff. Good list!
Another amazing albums review video Sam. I love X-Ray Spex too. Such an underrated band. Check out the documentary on Polystyrene, released a couple of years ago. Her daughter is very much involved in the making of the documentary. Watching from London UK.
Informative video Sam. I havent got into punk but I need to. This video is definitely helpful
Loved the video, Sam. Jealous that you have some of those on vinyl. Keep it up!
Love that you started with a bunch of American bands! Some of the songs on Blank Generation, Hell first performed with Television going back to 1974, which you can hear on some crappy sounding bootlegs. I don't know that Hell and Verlaine stayed friends later on -- it's been a while since I read Please Kill Me, an essential oral history of the NY scene!
You are such an musically opened minded woman you always have interesting videos love your music tastes awesome video sam
Loved that video Sam i was so glad to see New York dolls on your list a gamechanger
Great list Sam, I would personally include the Saints' "I'm Stranded", one of the first punk albums & brilliant. Also the Stranglers' "Rattus Norvegiocus", which is brilliant (possibly considered not pure punk by many,) and Stiff Little Fingers' wonderful "Inflammable Material". Patti Smith's first 2 albums are also classics, punk in attitude, definitely.
Also, "Black and White." That is solid punk, imo. (editing to clarify I meant "by The Stranglers.") I have never known how to genre-classify early Patti Smith music. I guess punk is as close as you can get, but she is sort of her own genre. lol. It's like, you really can't just call Bob Dylan a folk singer.
All very worthy to be in the Top 10, not just the Top 15.
Ah yes !!! How could you forget about the Strangies ? R.I.P. Dave Greenfield !! Hugh , J.J. , Jet Black and such stories about Vlad's affections for his camel / Cuba / pearl necklaces ?? 🤡
Great collection of Punk Albums there! Cheers!
I've watched more than a few punk rock "best" reviews, many by dudes my age (58), and yours is the best so far. I agree with 80% of yr picks. Just a great job!! Excellent.
Great list, to make it 21 albums I would include Dead Kennedys 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables', Eddie & the Hot Rods 'Beginning of the End'', Wire 'Pink Flag', Ian Dury and the Blockheads 'New Boots and Panties', The Toy Dolls 'Absurd-Ditties' and Skafish 'Skafish'.
Eddie and the hot rods are pub rock not punk rock
I fell very envious cuz you have got a great records collection! I loved your list. Regards from São Paulo, Brazil
Ask me for brazilian hardcore stuff. We made some interesting noisy records down here.
GI...that's probably one of my favorite albums EVER. Nice list. Have all of these. Some I've sold for dope years back, sadly. But I'm buying back some shit.
magazine - real life 1978
agent orange - living in darkness 1981
Great mentions. Really love the first 2 albums from Magazine.
Just played Smash It Up the other day! Nice choices, and I’m drooling over your super clean collection. All my Punk LPs are originals (that I bought used and cheap of course) and none of them are in mint-ish condition. Bullocks and Blank Generation are in pretty good shape (although the dog gnawed the Pistols cover) for $2 late 70s used acquisitions. One fun record I think I would add is the Vibrators Pure Mania. Fast and loud, like punk should be mostly.
Great list Sam! Based on your list I would add these 5 to round out your top 20.
Wipers - Is This Real?
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
Descendents - Milo Goes To College
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
Death - For The Whole World To See
*bonus*
The Monks - Bad Habits (while originally conceived as a spoof of punk rock, this is one of the best punk/new wave albums ever! So catchy and clever and funny!
Thanks for mentioning Wipers!
Yea i Think about dk and descendents too, and buzzcoocks.
Good choices
Yeah, i agree DKs, Descendents and Buzzcocks should’ve been included. And maybe also SLF’s Inflammable Material (one of my favourite albums ever) and perhaps also Incredible Shrinking Dickies as the West Coast response to Ramones
Agent Orange and Descendents for punk with great musicianship. Also Bad Brains but their more sophisticated stuff like "I Against I" isn't really punk.
I’m listening to records for my best of 1979 video. GI by the Germs is not messy at all. It is amazing how tight they were on this. I’m not hating. I love that you are embracing Punk. Love your channel.
Wadda brown noser you are Bitchie. And, a dirty old man.
The Cramps, were never considered punk, by many people, including The Cramps, but certainly loved but punks and new wavers. I'm certainly a huge fan! You should read every thing you can about them, very interesting. They took more from the deepest, dark and sometime obscure origins of rock and roll. Poison Ivy, wrote all the music and lyrics, she is a master mind and one of my favorite guitarists. Sadly, since the death of Lux in 2009, we will probably never hear from her again. Stay Sick, is my favorite. I discovered them around 84'. Good list you have :)
Played their LP's in the mid 80's until the grooves were flat.
Good video. I moved to London in the late 80s and although it was a decade after the original punk scene had died it was still awesome to be there. I stayed for three years. Anyhoo, recommendations: you should check out one of the early first wave American punk bands, a band called THE SCREAMERS. Unfortunately they never released any records, but there's live recordings and demos out there. Also check out a doco film called PUNK: ATTITUDE. It's here on youtube.
An intro to Punk must be with the Godfathers of the genre, "Death."
And "Bad Brains" must be recognized!
Great list. Really tough to narrow it down to 15 (I know, I've tried). I lived through this era like others who commented - Suicidal Tendencies' debut album also makes my top 15 list. Keep up the good work.
Hi TS! New subscriber here. Been watching your vids, love this punk focus. You've shown some great LPs like Richard Hell, Minor Threat, The Germs, Black Flag, NY Dolls...I found The Germs OG pressing LP at a Goodwill many years ago and also New York Dolls. My top 15 in no particular order: 1. Fugazi, 2. Minor Threat, 3. Dead Kennedys, 4. The Germs, 5. The Damned, 6. MDC, 7. Spermbirds, 8. Nations On Fire (hardcore band from Belgium) 9. Deadguy 10. Youth of Today 11. Wire 12. Gang of Four 13. Buzzcocks 14. Serpico 15. Mind Over Matter. Take care! ~ Nicola
Great list, you should include the album by DEATH, for the whole world to see.. the Hackney brothers. It came out in 1975.. one of my all time classics!! In my opinion one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time!!
DEATH is garbage.
Brush up on your music… you need to crawl .. before you walk..
Death is the pioneering metal band from Florida.
@@beyond.the.paradigm359 oddly enough there actually is another Death out there. I'm a huge fan of Chuck Schuldiner's pioneering work too.
Ramones pioneered down-picking and ferocious rhythm guitar, and NY Dolls mastered the loose and jangly guitar solos. So many great punk bands! I recently discovered Magazine's Shot By Both Sides, and Hawkwind's Space Ritual!
Great video! I'm including The Jam's ' In The City ' on my list.
Wonderful list. I would have had to find some way to slip X and Husker Du onto my own list.
The CRAMPS "Psychedelic Jungle" with the edition of Kid "Congo" Powers on guitar (of Gun Club fame) is a must have album.
Indeed
The Goo Goo Muck!
Love this album! Had when I was younger in the 80s. Need to get it again. A Grail
THE CRAMPS 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
Hi Sam! You have a new fan! I also recently found Omaha Introvert, and I love that there are young women out there with tastes in music similar to mine. I am kinda old, and was there when this music was created, and it still speaks to me.
There is one that I got when it was released: HaHaHa by Ultravox (1977). This was their second album. John Foxx was the singer and main writer. He made the first three Ultravox albums. Then, Midge Ure took over for album four, Vienna. And they became popular!
I would recommend the first three albums, but HaHaHa is definitely punk.
Love your different hair colors! My wife changes her colors all the time!
Keep rockin'! Love your program!
Have 90% of those albums and saw 50% of the band's. Black Flag in 82 and 84 was one of the most memorable. The hardcore stuff like Discharge, GBH, UK Subs, Anti Nowhere League etc etc. Great video!!
Nice lineup and a good analysis comparing the Dead Boys' sound to that of their "native" NYC compatriots. If you expanded the list you might consider adding The Slits, Avengers, and as you mention, X.
X is NOT PUNK!!!!!
Love this video. All excellent albums
Well done for including X Ray Spex and Bad Brains.
One of my top 10 punk LPs was The Dead Kennedys 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables', and of note from that, 'The Stars and Stripes of Corruption '! Awesome LP! And who could forget 'Holiday in Cambodia'!
Stars and stipes wasn't on Fresh fruit..
@@davedennison7386 Good point. My memory failed me! :-)
@@scottchapman2870
DKs were great either way👍..me n a mate were talking about what a great lp fresh fruit is,last night, it came up due to dh peligro passing away recently..
@@davedennison7386 I wasn't aware that he passed. Such a shame. I just pulled out a pile of DKs t shirts from back in the day! So many memories! Lol
@@scottchapman2870
Hopefully they still fit😉...yeah its a real shame, he was a great musician....."the sum if our surroundings" album by Peligro,is well worth checking out, if you haven't heard it....
Ramones - Rocket To Russia
Black Flag - First Four Years
Minutemen - What Makes A Man Start Fires?
X (Austalia) X-Aspirations
Saints - I'm Standed
The Birthday Party - Junkyard
Radio Birdman - Radios Appear
T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me
Circle Jerks - Group Sex
How about Sex Pistols SAtellite,I wanna be me,Anarchy in the UK,
Cockney Rejects I found myself in the underworld,I wanna be a star,I`m not a fool.
THANK YOU, Sam!!"Love your channel! My 16 year old daughter is expanding her music dimensions with the names you're dropping. I grew up in late 70s/80s with most bands here. Just curious - have you heard recordings by Indian Jewelry and/or Studded Left?
It's my favorite sound now 24/7 😁
Thanks for this review! I totally agree about the status of Iggy & the Stooges' 'Raw Power', but after that the best two 'new wave' hard rock bands of the 1970s were both Australian: the Saints (especially the first two albums, 'Stranded' and 'Eternally Yours') and Radio Birdman (check out the 2:30-minute studio version of 'New Race', their cover of 'You're gonna miss me', 'Do the pop' and 'Hand of law'). The Sex Pistols were great but the Saints and Radio Birdman left them for dead.
Nice to see someone mentioning The Saints and Radio Birdman. Both criminally underrated.
Sex Pistols got barred from nearly every venue in the UK.They were met with 50 police squad cars when they arrived in usa.They got sacked from several record companies before they signed for Virgin.Songs like Anarchy in the UK defined the genre.They created far more negative publicity than any other band in the world ever including the grundy tv interview.They released their really only one album with BOLLOCKS emblazoned on it,no othe band has done that and which was the best album ever made.First and best punk band right there for all them reasons.
Hi Sam 🌞 ! - I'm glad Johnny Thunders ⛈️ traveled to London to not only inspire Malcom McLaren but record his terrific So Alone album with the masterpiece " You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory " .. Will never forget a Friday night in early 1979 when I saw The Clash on their second ever 🇺🇸 show at The Santa Monica .. They were absolutely amazing ..especially Topper & Bo Diddley opened ! Remember " Some People Think Little Girls Should Be Seen & Not Heard .. But I Say .. 🎷 Take Care Sam ✌️
Hey David! An original UK press of Johnny's So Alone album is at the top of my grail list. Oh man that Clash show had to be incredible!
Not to forget that they brought Nancy spugen with them therefore bringing Heroin and, well, the rest is history...
Nice collection of influential albums! In my Top 15, maybe in your Top 20, I‘d surely put Suffer by Bad Religion, it created a new style of melodic core… and one album by The Descendents… for the harder sound, I‘d mention The Exploited! Beat The Bastards is still such an aggressive banger of an album! Greetings from Germany 👍🤘
GBH (in the US, named Charged GBH). The album, No Survivors. Classic punk songs such as City Baby Attacked by Rats, Catch 23, and Alcohol.
Like I said Nina Hagen and all German punk bands , thank you RAF !!
I might include the self-titled *Generation X* feat. Billy Idol, and also *Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts.* Amd, while perhaps not essential, but I'd also like to offer a nod to the deeply interesting 70's proto-punk band Doctors of Madness, who made stellar music, and introduced electric violin to punk music. Also, a mention for the Ultravox debut album, which was very punk, before they went more new wave. Speaking of new wave bands that started out punk, XTC's *White Music* was very raw and punk before they softened up a bit and became the seminal new wave band we came to love. Also, a nod to Mission of Burma, because I love them.
Ultravox 1st album punk?
About as punk as Tiger Lily
Pre Ultravox 😂😂😂👎👎
Road to Ruin was my first Ramones record, too. First Ramones album with Marc Bell, who along with Voidoids was also in early 70s proto metal band DUST, who you should check out if you haven't already.
Great list. All significant albums
I always go into these lists with a grain of salt...because so many miss the mark. but you opened with the same 3 albums I would have picked. Outstanding review that hits the mark close to dead center. Although I wish the Dead Kennedys were prominently placed in that list, since I think they had pretty massive clout and influence...and staying power, but for a list this close to perfect I can forgive much. That said, every band named had a right to be there, even the obscure ones that time forgot but fans never did. Also...love the name...Telegram Sam is still a fave song...both the Bauhaus and TRex versions. I was too late for the dawn of punk, but I truly loved the waning years when the bands that lasted were at their peak creatively. I was a gutter punk scene rat in the late 80s/early 90s in MI, when local music was still vibrant and punk/goth/glam/industrial/rave/alternative were just a great mush of surprises and sonic wonder. I miss it sometimes, but at least I've got the music still, which...in many ways, was what I loved most. The raw, aching hunger to communicate something to the world. Discontent, rage, lust, joy, frustration, hate, fear, self loathing, lust for life, what have you...but from inarticulate howl to carefully crafted poem/song, it was always a struggle to say something honest and with less artifice than pop or disco offered the world. That...I admire.
Great List.....a few omissions but I get these are lps that you personally own. MC5 as a founder group, I think you need to add Patti Smith...cannot have a conversation of New York punk without her. My FAVE band ..The Heartbreakers need to be talked about...then in the UK bands such as Siouxsie and the Bandshees, The Slits, Generation X, The Jam, Wire etc. I have over 700 OG late 70's Punk lps......LOVE THEM!
Nice choices, and as a UK resident, some unfamiliar ones which I will have to check out. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude to our American cousins for those early pioneers such as Iggy and The New York Dolls both of whom were hugely influential. I was a little surprised that you didn't include The Dead Kennedys in your list. They were very popular here in the UK. Great video, entertaining and informative, thank you.
David Johansen starred in a pilot I wrote for HBO. I found him to be a very nice guy. He sure liked his cigarettes, though.
SST records had a few Chicano punk bands which I could relate to plus early grunge
WURM and Saint Vitus 🎙️
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts (1977) or Hahaha by Ultravox! (1977)..Two groundbreaking albums by bands at the forefront of the movement in the UK..
I always find it curious and fascinating that Genya Ravan (Goldie & the Gingerbreads, Ten Wheel Drive) produced the Dead Boys. She's covered in that CBGB drama/documentary that came out some years back on Hilly. You might like her singing voice. Check out "Stay With Me" on Brief Replies by Ten Wheel Drive.
She was agent for GG and the Jabbers for a while.
Aloha Sam,
Awesome Video on 15 Punk record albums I should own.
Over the years a few of these bands have made it, in & out of my collection, I recall having a promo copy of the New York Dolls 1st lp, I also purchased from Sears Iggy Pop Raw Power,
& in about 1977 I started getting a lot of promo copies of bands on the SIRE record label. One of my first introduction to (Fuck the Establishment) on vinyl was a band called, DAVID PEEL AND THE LOWER EAST SIDE, in 1968 they released an album called HAVE A MARIJUANA. With song like : Mother Where Is My Father?
I Like Marijuana.
Here Comes A Cop.
I've Got Some Grass.
Happy Mother's Day
Up Against The Wall.
I Do My Bawling In The Bathroom.
The Alphabet Song.
Show Me The Way To Get Stoned.
We Love You.
I remember my neighbor playing that album, when his mother came home from work & she went right for his Stereo & took the album off the turntable & cracked it in half....lol
the song that was playing was called "Up against the wall"(mother fucker).
Those sure were fun times 1969....lol
Thanks again Sam for a amazing Video, I'll check out some of these bands.
Mahalo Ed
I see punk in a TH-cam title, i click.
for anyone that likes Raw Power, Young Loud & Snotty and Machine Gun Etiquette ..... I can recommend checking out Radios Appear by Radio Birdman ... it feels like it belongs with those 3.
Fans of The Cramps, The Misfits and The Gun Club might want to check out In Heaven by The Meteors which is a classic Psychobilly album
I also shout out to Shock Troops by Cock Sparrer and Death of Innocence by Legal Weapon as records that deserve more attention by punk fans.
Shock Troops! Riot Squad is one of the greatest punk songs
Radio Birdman, indeed!
Nice list!
Some of my essentials might not seem like punk at first glance, but bear with me, I'm an old man who tends to disregard genre barriers. Regardless, this is what we listened to back then...
Adding to your list...

You had me at Raw Power.
I love your hair!!! 💙
Good start, you could add in the Avengers, DOA, Flipper, the Pagans (Cleveland) then get a hold of the compilation "Nuggets" of bands of the mid-'60s that formed the basis of punk. You can go back even further to the Sonics and other PNW bands from the early '60s and '50s outcasts like Link Wray....Just keep discovering! Late '70s compilations from when Punk was getting started are a good source, too.
excellent list. I would put also the selfnamed Velvet Underground álbum and Dead Kennedys. However, like you said, you could named at least 20 other albums... Again, very good choice. THX.
The CRAMP'S ep Gravest Hits was one of my live changing records.
New Model Army’s ‘Vengeance’ is absolutely worth your time. Well worth having on your collection.
the Adverts " crossing the red sea " , the Only ones " the class , the jam and the saints , was my favorites in 1978... and another...now i am 72years old 😛
I don't have a lot of punk so I'm tuning in to see if I have any at all here. *sigh* well I did better than I thought... I have three of the ones you showed. But I score a bit higher if I go by band instead of by album. I can double that number to 6. Still not great so I have work to do. Nicely done as usual, Sam. 😎👍
This was so entertaining and the choices were excellent. I'm 58 and would have included some Lou Reed and Gang of Four "Entertainment!". It's nice to know that there are young people who care about any of this!
Solid list! A few I dont have on wax. I would add more hardcore like Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Descendents. Also UK legends like Sub Humans , Crass, GBH, Exploited.
A good list .
I would also add :
The Boomtown Rats self titled debut
The Clash : Give ‘Em Enough Rope
The Ruts : The Crack
The Saints : I’m Stranded , or , Eternally Yours
Teenage Head’s self titled debut , or , Frantic City
Thanks !
Do you have the album Cut by The Slits?
Not yet, but that is a killer album!
Great video! You know your stuff. Have you ever been to the PRINCETON RECORD EXCHANGE??
Thanks for this! One major album is missing in your list - Frankenchrist by Dead Kennedys.
Great list. All of them beginning to end.
Спасибо за видео.Все очень интересно. 👍
Great list!
You have FANTASTIC taste in Punk Rock!
Some of my all time favorites:
*Bad Brains - Rock For Light*
*Germs - G.I.*
*T.S.O.L. -T.S.O.L. EP*
T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me*
*Agent Orange - Living In Darkness*
*Black Flag - Jealous Again*
*Misfits - Walk Among Us*
*Circle Jerks - Group Sex*
*Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables*
*X - Los Angeles*
*X - Wild Gift*
*X - Under The Big Black Sun*
*Adolescents - Adolescents*
Pretty good selection👍
I still have a lot of my original Punk vinyl. The Germs album was separate from the live material, thus 2 different albums. Pat Smear was the original guitarist for the Germs until the death Darby Crash. Pat later played with Nirvana, see the MTV LIVE album, thus losing another band member. "The night of the living Dead Boys", is a must listen to! Also try LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH, the band. Stiv Bators at his best!
May I suggest Rudimentary Peni ‘Death Church’
Subhumans’From The Cradle To The Grave’
Die Kreuzen’S/T
Loving the channel, keep it going x
Good stuff. In our circles there's at least one big fan for each of them. But some here ask another question: Put the records of artists from the UK and the U.S. to the side for a moment - what have you found? Or shorter: did you, or anybody, look?
Nice list. My teens and early 20s working in a record store.
maybe add any Unwound to the list. Enjoyed the vid and I will check some of those you mentioned out. Thank you.
nothing more iconic than this Bad Brains S/T album
I am glad you had DEAD BOYS on your list! Keep up the great job Sam! You are true Music lover, you have lots of vinyl gems 💎 and you you are only in your mid 20s!
