• Undertones, “You’ve Got My Number (Why Don’t You Use It?)” 7-inch
• Wipers, Is This Real?

Pretty good list. Some albums I wouldn't necessarily label as straight up 'punk' but definitely punk influenced. That Wipers album is one of my favs.

What would you guys include on your essential punk list?

Bad Religion-no control
Social Distortion-white light white heat white trash
The Exploited-beat the bastards
The Vandals-any album
Dead Kennedys-Frankenchrist
The Circle Jerks-golden shower of hits

I may think of more later

I love the different styles of punk. It's interesting to see people's differences in taste. (e.g. someone know likes minor threat may not necessarily love the buzzcocks)

I'm often amused by what people consider punk. I'm a huge Social D fan, but some people don't even classify them as punk. I agree, they aren't Corrosion of Conformity, but they ain't Duran Duran, either.

Corrosion of Conformity = Metal IMO... so, point taken

I guess their early stuff is punk, but I still associate them with Pepper and metal...

I would definitely put Pink Flag and Chairs Missing ahead of this one. Just IMO.

That can definitely be argued, but 154 is where they turned the corner on a new sound that Chairs Missing started... So I can see others preferring that sound to say, Pink Flag...

Chairs Missing is my favorite Wire record, then Pink Flag. Pink Flag is the most punk though.

I approve

Some of my favs:

Slapshot - 16 Valve Hate
Bad Brains - I Against I
Bad Religion - Suffer
Pennywise - Unknown Road
Black Flag - Damaged
Warzone - Lower East Side
Judge - New York Crew
Cold As Life - Born To Land Hard
Slapshot - Sudden Death Overtime

If you count Dropkick Murphys as punk then i'll throw Do or Die and Sing Loud, Sing Proud up there too.

To be clear, this isn't a "best of" list, these are just some of my personal favorites.

The Bad Brains self titled album, "Fun House" by The Stooges, and "Damaged" by Black Flag are the definitive punk albums, IMHO. Those three albums best represent the energy and attitude that punk was all about.
