For the all the albums listed here if you want a good sampler the "NME Best of the 70s" is a greatest hits of all the albums mentioned on this thread (Stooges,Saints,Ramones,Dead Boys etc) most of the song choices are pretty obvious but its a great snapshot of those glory days and has been my top Christmas listening.

Hey Lenny i already got the English version, it's great fun to finally read it in bookform. The humor of the Dutch still stands i was worried it might not cause English (usa) is such a diffrent language but luckily that's ok.
Been spinning Trippin thru a Midnight Blues by Cuby myself.

I have seen The Misfits-Static Age on this thread a few times. I just have to point out that, despite being recorded back in this era, the album never even saw the light-of-day until the 1990's. Considering this fact, I find it hard to include this album as a definitive 1st era album.

Ramones- 1st album, Sex Pistols- Nevermind the Bollocks, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers- L.A.M.F., Misfits- Static Age, Dead Boys- Young, Loud, and Snotty, The Damned- 1st album & Machine Gun Etiquitte...so many more that I can't think of right off the top of my head.

I'm good Pim, hope you're havin a nice spin of Gen X's best of...I've been blasting out such Dutch 60s punkers as Cuby+Blizzards' 'Sunshine Of Your Shadow' and the great Fun Of It's 'Silly Baby' and 'Drollery' 45s, yeah not quite in this '77 punk zone I know, but still amazing nonetheless!!! And we know just how punk Q65 were don't we? Talking of which have you got any copies of the English-translation version of the books yet? Can't wait to see that! Cheers Lenny

Hey Lenny how are you? i got Gen X (best of) on vinyl here time to spin it once again.

Hey Pim, yeah I agree...I don't mean to pit them against each other...Yeah Your Gen, and Day By Day are great, as are ready Steady Go and Wild Youth...I'm glad you now diggin The Adverts, one of the very best, most non-agenda-bearing? punk rock groups from the day, in my very own humble opinion!!!

Hey Pim, good to hear that you liked what you heard.  They just "speak to me" for some reason and were a little different than the rest of the bands back then.  I'll plug myself and our show (every Mon-Fri. from 10-noon Boston time, I'm on Thurs) if you want to hear new and old punk and general loud stuff, http://www.laterisersclub.org.

 

To Lenny, I almost think it's unfair if you start listing all the singles vs. full albums.  You'd hope that any band has 1-2 great songs in them.  But seeing Generation X in your list makes me think that that first LP was pretty fine and 'Your Generation' and 'Day by Day' are two of my faves.  And Slaughter's Cranked and Bootboys are two great tunes.

Pim Scheelings said:

Hey Joanie i'd never heard of the Adverts. listened to them on you tube and instandly liked it thanx for the tip!

And coincidentally, I am too and the Adverts are playing as we speak.  If you know some Dutch bands who fit the format, have them send us their music.  We do love the foreign punk rock.

listening to an old show from dec 9 now cool!

Yeah I agree with what lots of folks are saying here re- '77 - '79 LPs etc...I love The Adverts, hardly a duff sound in there...also The Flys 'Bunch Of Fives' EP, and their Love And A Molotov Cocktail 7", Johnny Moped 'No One', The Nosebleeds 'I Ain't Bin To Music School', Slaughter and The Dogs' 'Cranked Up...', The Radiators From Space 'Television Screen' and 'Enemies' 45s - they were really great live too, saw em opening for Thin Lizzy, wow, eek...also The Drones, The Pigs, Killjoys, Eater, Gen X's 'Perfect Hits' private press 7" EP thing too...The Fun 4, Bee Bee Cee, The Scaars 'Adultery' / 'Horrorshow' coupling is hard to beat too...waaarrrggghhh so many great records never heard by enough people...keep it coming

Even tho a few people have mentioned The Adverts - Crossing the Red Sea, I think of that record as overlooked in the "best punk of all time" discussions.  Also the first three Ultravox records are pretty amazing.

Crime "Hot Wire My Heart" / "Baby You're So Repulsive" 7"
