What about the Buzzcocks Love Bites album?

Hey, allright Pim, great to read you here...yeah The Clash debut album is everything you say, but I think so also is The Damned's first, and hey, while we're at it so is The Buzzcocks' first, Siouxsie & the Banshees' first, Eater's album and Wire's 'Pink Flag', whaddya reckon...and by the way I hear that Kjoe's fantastic story is gonna be hitting the streets soon told for the first time in English. Woahhhhh!!!! Cool, I hope it does what it should do. Cheers and all the best - Lenny

I agree The Clash is total energy integrity and sound completely diffrent form all the other Punk bands of the era.

the vibrators..
the damned..
the boys..
johnny t and heartbreakers..

The ones that have held up best for me are The Modern Lovers and Ramones debuts, both are perfect albums, not a false note anywhere. Also still love Saints Eternally Yours, Heartbreakers Live at Max's Kansas City, Cramps songs the Lord Taught Us, Iggy Pop New Values, Buzzcocks Singles Going Steady, Christchild Hard and Dead Boys Young Loud and Snotty.

It would have to be 'Damned Damned Damned' and the first 3 Ramones albums. But then albums weren't really the coin of the realm of the first punk era; singles were where most of the action was.

There are too many great LPs from that era to choose from and I'd agree with all the usual suspects in this thread but The Boys don't get mentioned enough. Their debut and Brickfield nights still sound fantastic and should have done big things for them.

I agree :)

The Sex Pistols was my first introduction to punk back in those days (Never MInd the Bullocks). There still one of my all time favorites!

bruillants, énervés, mais des pionniers tout de même les premières crêtes et les pogos c'est eux non ? moi je m'en met une petite dose quand j'ai envie de tout casser :)Bon c'est sur ils ne sont plus ce qu'ils étaient mais tout de même j'aimais leur côté extrème.

Ramones first
Dictators go Girl Crazy
1st Generation X lp
1st Clash Lp
1st Modern Lovers Lp
Horses Patti Smith
Vibrators Pure Mania
Television Marquee Moon
Buzzcocks Singles goin Steady
Jam all Mod Cons
undertones 1st lp
StrAnglers 1st lp
incredibly Shrinking Dickees

Singles Going Steady is one of those rare comps that really deserves to be considered like an actual planned LP. It's not just a mish-mash of greatest hits or odds and ends, it's a brilliantly curated collection that adds to any fan's understanding and enjoyment of a great band. The Kinks Kronikles is another one like that.

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady - I know, i know, Not really an album. So what. It sure felt like one when I got my gready mitts on it some 30 years ago.
