For instance, to say Iggy wasn't punk as f**k between '68 and '74 is crazy. I don't care if the term "punk" had been attached to anything at that point or not. The MC5 weren't punk because the Pistols hadn't come along yet? Ha! Punk has been around since the Johnny Burnette and His Rock 'N Roll Trio album. They just hadn't pigeonholed it yet with a term. ok, fire away... |
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks.
Not the first by any means, but in the UK, certainly the most influential punk album by far. |
Quote:
London Calling>Pink Flag>Ramones>Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables>Never Mind the Bollocks Those are better than Never Mind the Bollocks. |
Never Mind the Bollocks would be my second choice and Pink Flag would be my third, but this is my first choice...

But if you want to go specifically by musical standards the Stooges had songs that might be considered punk, but would you really consider the majority of their discography punk? Maybe Raw Power could partly qualify, but other than that the term "proto-punk" is perfectly accurate. "Down On the Street"? "Gimme Danger"? "I Wanna Be Your Dog"? It would take a serious stretch of the imagination to call any of that punk. Trying to come up with strict qualifications for who is and who is not "punk" when "punk" is such a nebulous word in the first place is just pointless. Punk started in England when people started calling it punk. Anything else is just being argumentative. Quote:

We could talk all night about Proto Punk or the many variant sounds thereof but if someone asked me what Punk Rock sounded like then Dead Boys and Infest will do me fine and Infest are definitely an unknown quantity to many people and certainly qualify for the criteria and then some. |
This album was pretty damn entertaining

For out and out 1st wave of (real) PUNK I'd go with The Damned - Damned Damned Damned. Great cartoon Punk with edge and great music. It made The Stooges seem dated and has great artwork. The first Ramones album is a Classic too but the first Damned album will always be my answer to this question.

^1975 so i just went back through the thread....and this is at least the fourth time NOFX comes into play and has the same argument against them went back and listened to Under the Big Black Sun....and although i agree that it is a great and very underrated album.....Los Angeles is still in my opinion better....just for the opening to Nausea |

Best punk album
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned, Machine Gun Etiquette
|
Personally I think the Dead Boys are far from generic. For their time, they were actually pretty much close to the top. Yeah, RFtT have definite similarities, being as though Cheetah Chrome was in both bands, and his guitar playing is pretty recognizable. Stiv Bators though is a much more charismatic and interesting vocalist than Crocus Behemoth was.
Maybe now a days Young, Loud and Snotty may have some dated aspects, but for 1977 it was far from generic. The opening riff on Sonic Reducer was a call to arms, that sustained note just hits, similar to the way "Sailin' On" does on first Bad Brains album. "Ain't Nothing to Do", "What Love Is" and "High Tension Wire" are classics as well. I do not know if I would rank it as best punk album of all-time, but it is for sure a contender. |

Albums by The Damned
Yes, Damned Damned Damned, Machine Gun, Strawberries - they are great all through.
Bollocks by the Sex Pistols is also a very good album. |
