Agree. There's just WAY too many albums to think about. Maybe narrowing it down to eras, but certainly not of all time.

i won't lie Minor Threat's discography is what popped in my head.....i mean 26 songs and i still know every word and every breakdown.....but then i think about Circle Jerks, bad Religion, J Church, Rudimentary Peni.....yep impossible!

"Live At The Witch Trials" might not be singularly punk, but I'm putting it up there.

I do not know, I can think of tons of albums I would list above Minor Threat.

Bad Brains - ROIR
Black Flag - Damaged
NoMeansNo - Wrong
Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters (yes, I am picking this over Fresh Fruit)
Dayglo Abortions - Feed Us A Fetus
Dead Boys - Young Loud and Snotty
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime

and on and on and on and on...

Minor Threat are good, and I love them. But I find Discography to be lop sided. More great songs on the first half, and drags on near the end. Do not think it is consistent enough to be above any of those albums listed and many more I could mention if I so desired at the moment.

Especially out of those, Bad Brains and Damaged.

Even overall in hardcore, Minor Threat arent one of my favorites. Articles of Faith, Battalion of Saints, Genetic Control, Deep Wound, Gang Green, The F.U.'s, Wasted Youth... list goes on here too. Think there were tons more bands that don't get credit.

The ones bolded I know. Should listen to that Damned album again as its been mentioned a couple of times on here, also need to listen to that Dead Kennedy's album again. Personally I never really cared for Stiff Little Fingers.

How do you not know Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime?

It's fantastic, certainly check it out.
