Damn! Someone reminded me of that two years ago and I forgot to include it again!! Yes. Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts 1978 I'm sure I will post the full list again on the next page with the above addition. Thank you. The Desperate Twisters said:

Sorry, I'm really allergic to Patti Smith !!!

But I love insanity !!!

And I still believe that "Crossing the red sea with The Adverts" should be in your (great) list Gring !

@Joanie : "Concrete" by 999 is pretty cool too. Less"punk",if that means something, than the first 2 records but it's probably my favorite LP from 999.

I'm new to this board and didn't read all 14 pages of this topic, but agree with Desperate Twisters about The Adverts, my favorite record of all time probably. I'd go with the Vibrators and maybe 999 (some combo of the first 2 records) to round out the top 3. Or Bloodbrothers. Or the Diodes. I might even stick Generation X in there, I'm sure that's fairly unpopular. The Desperate Twisters said:

Damned Damned Damned !!! Definitively !

Did anyone mention "Crossing the red sea with The Adverts" ???

"Inflammable material" by Stiff Little Fingers saved my stupid life too !

And most of the records that have been mentioned here (except Patti Smith of course !) ...

I have favourite songs, not albums but here's some I'm never tired of listening to
Chelsea
Eater - The Album
999
Dead Boys- Young, loud and snotty
The Nipple Erectors - King of the Bop

RAMONES, duh.

Blank Generation, Never Mind the Bollocks, In the City, Radios Appear, Marquee Moon, Inflammable Material

Damned Damned Damned !!! Definitively !

"Inflammable material" by Stiff Little Fingers saved my stupid life too !

And most of the records that have been mentioned here (except Patti Smith of course !) ...

oh my ... so many good-ones within that timeframe ... here's some of my favourites: "Pink Flag" (LP) 1977 - by the WIRE "Realities of War" (EP) 1980 - by Discharge "Inside My Brain" (LP) 1980 - by the Angry Samoans and of course, there's plenty more ... a year later (1981) came out some of the greatest stuff of bands like the Minor Threat, Black Flag, ...

Ramones 'Ramones' [1976]
Damned 'Damned Damned Damned' [1977]
Richard Hell & The Voidoids 'Blank Generation' [1977]
Pere Ubu 'The Modern Dance' [1978]
Chrome 'Alien Soundtracks' [1977? 78?]
The Fall 'Live At The Witch Trials' [1979]
Joy Division 'Unknown Pleasures' [1979]
The Pop Group 'Y' [1979]

Though not a popular choice these days, but I still enjoy Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols as well as the first Clash album (actually I like both UK and US versions) and the first 3 Ramones albums. Road To Ruin is OK but not really one of my favorites.

The Ramones Pleasant Dreams is '81 but it's definately one of my faves!

I will have to say fun house even though it's 1970

Stiff Little Fingers - Hanx!

Dead Boys.. love em' what about Cocksparer? Lubna Barracuda! said:

doubtless Dead Boys' "Young Loud and Snotty".

doubtless Dead Boys' "Young Loud and Snotty".

naturally the pistols never mind the bollocks is the leader of the pack. they solidified the entire movement. this is an iconic album. Andy Butler said:

yeah! the first Ramones started it all really......the ultimate garage band album...and first punk album.

I wanted to mention Sex Pistols Never Mind The Bollocks too originally....maybe seems a bit too obvious...but really that was a classic..without them where would punk be.

I found that comp last year at a record store. It's fantastic. Classic punk tunes from the late 70's. Solid choice. sleazy said:

I once had a punk collection album sent to me by an Italian friend simply called Punk Collection Vol I (I think) and it featured trax like Fall Out by early Police and other bands like The Damned, The Boys, early Patti Smithetc. ..........it had a beautiful picture of a loo on the cover....don;t remember much else about it thou.

The first Damned album is near perfect. Love the barf cover!

They sure did ! I used to live 'round the corner from where they did the photos for the album cover. At the time it was an abandoned old house...I hear that today it's now a yuppie restaurant, how sad ! Cheers, Wig Andy Butler said:

The Saints had the first punk single with Stranded.....even though they didnt know it.

The Clash, Sham 69, Dead Boys, Cramps, And Radio Birdman...

I probably posted in this discussion before! Anyway...

1. First 3 Ramones albums.
2. Young Loud & Snotty - Dead Boys
3. Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys
4. Minor Threat - Minor Threat

I saw the Ramones and Dead Boys many times at CBGBs and around NYC in mid and late 70s, amazing shows! I saw Minor Threat once, that was also excellent. Never saw the DKs.

I agree with The Clash and Ramones. All their albums of this era are great - I even cannot select which one of them is better.

But if to add the band no one mentioned here before (or I did not notice), I would pick Cock Sparrer's "Shock Troops". Although it is a little bit out of 76-80 range, I believe it can be deemed to belong to the same era. I love it as strong as The Clash's albums.

OK OK enough enough..... Introducing the best garage punk (yes it should be separated in this case) album of the 70's. Roll them drums...................

Yes Jilted John. Who can deny that Gordon isn't a Moron. Stay Sick Weirdos
