2. The Barons Of Tang - Knots And Tangles
1. The Dreadnoughts - Victory Square


As for religious bigot man, you're just as ignorant and intolerant as a Jehovah's Witness.

I like Jay Dubs. They don't pretend to be punk.

in no particular order:-

Husker Du - Land Speed Record
Fugazi - Red Medicine
The Replacements - Sorry Ma Forgot to Take out the Trash
The Clash - s/t
The Stooges - s/t
The Ramones - s/t
The Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Black Flag - Damaged
Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime
The Dead Boys - Young, Loud & Snotty

i forgot the others

slapshock
switchtokill

I don't think I could ever do a list of favourite punk albums because Id end up wrestling with all of those questions like "are the slits punk or post-punk" or "are Beat Happening punk are they just lo-fi" and all of that crap.

There is a serious problem of definiton with punk.
