Must own Punk albums
 

What are some Punk albums that are must owns for anyone who likes the genre? Please, post the artist and the name of the album and why you think it should be worthy of owning.

Punk in Drublic

Off the top of my head:

The Clash - Clash On Broadway, just because it covers a wide range of their stuff.
Anything else by the Clash - cos it covers the rest of their stuff.
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks, cos it's a classic of its time.
Buzzc o c ks - Orgasm Addicts, simply a top class album.
Vibrators - Rip Up The City, soppy punk at its best!
Stiff Little Fingers - anything old by them just because they rock
One Way System - Return In Breizh, cos they're a shouty band.
GBH - anything by them cos theyre hard!
Anti Nowhere League - Live In Yugoslavia, awesome!
UK Subs - Huntington Beach, because they did some great tracks as well as a few dire ones.
Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death, reflective of the 80s.
Drop Kick Murphys - The Gang's All Here, cos they're close to old decent punk.
Destination Venus - Speak Up Brown, You're Mumbling, cos theyre a little known UK band who deserve to get more recognition.

Lol, some more...?

thrice "the illusion of safety"

Anti-Flag - Die for the Government cause it is some awesome punk from anti-flag minus a lot of the politics

I'll list some new punky stuff.
NOFX-The war on errorism
AntiFlag - The Terror State
Good Riddance - Operation Phoenix
Against Me - As the Eternal Cowboy (it's iffy, but awesome)

These aren't any classics, but ten years from now they will be. Just think, you're listening to tomorrow's classics today!

Against Me! - The Eternal Cowboy is the official name, but I'm not trying to sounds snobby and its a really good album but its all opinion...

For politics: Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegtables
For pure punk: The Sex Pistols - Public Image Limited
for hardcore punk: AFI - Answer That And Stay Fashionable
For my favorite album:Rise Against - Revolutions Per Minute

Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose
Anti Heros - American Pie
Leftover Crack - Mediocre Generica

you are wrong, it's as the eternal cowboy

Anything by Crass,conflict,Buzzcoc ks,Dammed or the Undertones.
Rock and roll Swindle-Sex Pistols,this album contains material of the pistols in the studio that shows what they were capanle of as a real rocking band.(when Matlock was playing bass).It also contains some crap but expect that on a double album i guess??

Sorry to disappoint, but Rancid is not Ska, they're punk, ...And Out Come the Wolves is a good punk album. I wouldn't call Sublime totally ska either, it's a combo of punk and ska.

Even though there is more than one type of punk I assume you mean the Sex Pistols/Ramones genre of punk. I really don't feel like looking at what everybody has named, so i'm just going to name a few that come to mind.

1. Adolescents (Brats in Battalions)
2. Bad Brains (Bad Brains)
3. NoFx (Punk in Drublic)
4. Green Day (Dookie)
5. Dead Kennedys (Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables/Give me Convenience or Give Me Death/Frankenchrist)
5. Rancid (...And out Come the Wolves/Rancid(2000))
6. Agent Orange (Living In Darkness)
7. The Clash (London Calling)
8. The Misfits (American Psycho/Walk Among Us)
9. Circle Jerks (Group Sex)
10. Leftover Crack (**** World Trade)
11. The Damned (Damned, Damned, Damned)
