Thanks for the sig.

That man will say anything to get attention.

Since drunkenness caused me to have a list of twelve albums last time, let's try this again. BTW, I care neither for any order -- besides the first position which is non-negotiable, CAUSE ****ING ARKANGEL!!! -- nor do I gives a **** about genre distinctions (which is why this list is so dominated by early metalcore/metallic post-hardcore/powerviolence).

1. Arkangel - Dead Man Walking
2. Converge - Jane Doe
3. Unbroken - Life. Love. Regret
4. Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols
5. Snapcase - Progression Through Unlearning
6. Madball - Set It Off
7. Poison the Well - The Opposite of December
8. Yacopsae - Tanz Grozny Tanz
9. Nails - Unsilent Death
10. Reprisal - Boundless Human Stupidity

1. Black Flag - My War
2. Suicidal Tendencies - S/T
3. Misfits - Walk Among Us
4 The Exploited -Troops of Tomorrow
5. The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
6. Agent Orange - Living in Darkness
7. Subhumans - The Day The Country Died
8. The Dead Kennedy's - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
9. Bad Religion - Recipe For Hate
10. The Cramps - Big Beat From Badsville

Not in order particularly ... and no repeat bands.

And just because probably no one has ever heard of Reprisal, bask in the brutal awesomeness (and yes, the Youtube quality sucks)...

Disembodied > Arkangel hella

Hey, punk is punk. It's all good. You checked out Cave State or Weekend Nachos yet?

Nope, what is they?

And if Black Sabbath, Cryptopsy, Electric Wizard, and Blind Guardian are all metal, then I don't see why the Sex Pistols, Madball, Converge, and Pere Ubu can't all be under the same umbrella (Pere Ubu just missed the cut).

They're like sludge fused powerviolence. I've mentioned them a couple times when you were talking about it.

And are you saying Sex Pistols should be considered metal? I'm confused.

I mean the Sex Pistols, Madball, Converge, and Pere Ubu should all be considered punk if other genres are so inclusive.

minutemen-double nickels on the dime
the fall-live at the witch trials
thee headcoats-beach bums must die--"damn your fucking work"
fugazi-furniture

are the albums that really stuck with me

You need another six. I know it's punk to ignore rules, but this is a forum for OCD weirdos. You need a Top Ten. Don't **** with us. We'll **** with you.

honestly haven't listened to much more

Love birthday party and i should have added london calling

thats about it like post punk quite a bit.

I was real into nirvana for a while so i got into the wipers and butthole surfers and that stuff but didn't stick with me like the aforementioned stuff

Here's my list. A couple of them are Bootlegs.


Blitzkrieg '76 - Ramones
Dirty Rotten LP - D.R.I.
Don't Push Me Around - The Zeros
Germfree Adolescents - X-Ray Spex
Live Fast Die Young - Circle Jerks
Walk Among Us - The Misfits
Minor Threat - Minor Threat
Big Lizard In My Backyard - Dead Milkmen
Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitzvah - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
Love Songs For The Retarded - The Queers

I'm more of a new wave, the punk type of person.

Technically most new wave is post-punk so you wouldn't be at fault posting a list with Devo or Talkng Heads here.

They're from Italy right? I think i saw them at one of the new year eve fest they used to have in Belgium during the H8000 glory days. I may be mistaken though.

But i clearly remember the Arkangel performance there... They played a song and a half before the vocalist and a guy from the audience started to fight. The shortest set by any band this night for sure :laughing:

Does The Batlord also enjoy a bit of Liar maybe?

Yup. Italian. I can see why they would play in that scene, though, being a bunch of vegan straight-edge types.

How were Arkangel live (assuming you could get a good idea from one-and-a-half songs/you'd seen them elsewhere)? They sound like they would obliterate a sweaty, stamp-sized club.

Can't remember if I've listened to them. After discovering Arkangel I checked out a bunch of other Belgian metalcore bands, including H8000 bands, but aside from a couple I wasn't that impressed. I think they might have been a little too close to the hardcore side of metalcore and I'm pretty hit-or-miss with pure hardcore. I'll give them a listen, though.

Liar is 'black metal influenced vegan straight edge metalcore'. A narrow niche.

Just checked out their Invictus album. Pretty solid, but the production felt a little thin.

Still need to check out Weekend Nachos and Cave State, Batty. Best get on that before your powerviolence spike ends.

Let's add Spazz (La Revancha or Crush Kill Destroy), Coke Bust (Lines In The Sand or the Confined EP), Slight Slappers (A Selfish World Called Freedom is a good place to start) and the first Tomorrow Will Be Worse compilation to this powerviolence mayhem :bringit:

10. NOFX - Punk in drublic
9. Rancid - Out come the wolves
8. Lagwagon - Trashed
7. Bowling For Soup - Drunk enough to dance
6. Vandals - Hitler bad, vandals good
5. Everclear - Sparkle and fade
4. Dropkick Murphys - Do or die
3. Fugazi - Red Medicine
2. Fifteen - Extra medium kick ball star
1. The Refused - The shape of punk to come

I couldnt really make just "punk" list, because soetimes its hard to say what is still punk, what is punk rock, what is protopunk and so on ... just my favourite albums of all time :) And tried to not put all of DK´s albums there too xD

1. Iggy and The Stooges - Raw Power
2. Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist
3. Bad Brains - Self Titled
4. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
5. Black Flag - The First Four Years
6. Dicks - These People
7. T.S.O.L. - Dance With Me
8. Agent Orange - Living in Darkness
9. Cramps - Stay Sick!
10. OFF! - Wasted Years

I say as long as something at least related to punk (reasonably) it can be considered as part of punk. Thus; new wave, grunge, 2 tone, post-hardcore (duh), post-punk (also duh), and metalcore count. Warped Core stuff is a little iffy, as well as the poppier new wave acts, but if someone were to add them in their list I wouldn't argue so much as an Aerosmith or Avril Lavigne release.

Great list too.

Might have to reimagine my top ten

1. NoMeansNo - Sex Mad
2. Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist
3. Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolotholgy
4. Circle Takes the Square - As the Roots Undo
5. Green day - Dookie
6. Orchid - Dance Tonight! Revolutions Tomorrow!
7. Rudimentary Peni - Cacaphony
8. Bad Brains - Bad Brains
9. City of Caterpillar - City of Caterpillar
10. NoMeansNo - Wrong

I love Cap'n Jazz, but I prefer Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We've Slipped On, and Egg Shells We've Tippy Toed Over over Analphabetapolothology. Just feel like the extra tracks are a little unorganized compared to the debut album. Though, I sorta like the disorganization too.

It's some kind of order. Like, Wrong should be up further for the masterpiece it is. But It's fairly accurate, do in fact prefer Sex Mad to Wrong.

Guess it's my top, who'd think that

As much as I like Wrong, it's usually a tough listen. It holds a position as the first album I ever fell dead asleep to. During the daytime.

I still need to listen to Sex Mad (seems like I say that with a lot of releases).

Did it sound dull?

What about your metalcore list? Powerviolence? The world wants to know. And does your punk list really not include any of those two genres? Surprising.

Probably could put Entheogen, but yeah, s lot of amazing albums but not that special one, the classic. Referring to metalcore, that is. Some metalcore 10/10's for me

Bloodlet - Entheogen
Undying - At History's End
Prayer Fir Cleansing - Rain in the Endless Fall
Zao - Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest
Norma Jean - "Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child


Anyone could make the list, but the ones in said list I hold dear.

Powerviolence, I dunno about any top ten worthy albums. Some super greats but not enough imo. New ACxDC new album Is something I could get behind nominating

i haven't heard that Zao album in years....

i would add

Deadguy - Fixation on a Co-Worker
Will Haven - El Diablo
Integrity - Humanity is the Devil

I guess parts of it were just monotonous for me, though fully awake I do enjoy it from time to time.

Propagandhi - Less Talk, More Rock
Lifetime - Jersey's Best Dancers
Operation Ivy - Energy
Dead Milkmen - Big Lizard in My Backyard
Strung Out - Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues
PEARS - 'Go to Prison'
Social Distortion - 'Mommy's Little Monster'
NOFX - 'The Decline'
Propagandhi - 'How to Clean Everything'
Oi Polloi - 'Fuaim Catha'

Those are just some that included in my favorites. But my list goes on and on.

Hell yeah! PEARS and Propagandhi! I have a lot of these in my top 10 too.

This is a difficult one for me, as there are a lot of punk albums which I adore, so, to keep things tight, I'll run off a top 5 instead - I had a bloody top 20 in my head.

In no particular order:

1. Killing Joke - "Killing Joke" (1980)
2. The Heartbreakers - "L.A.M.F."
3. Rudimentary Peni - "Death Church"
4. The Stooges - "Fun House"
5. The Outsiders - "Calling on Youth"

I'm more a '90s punk fan :)

Rancid - ...And Out Come The Wolves
Bad Religion - Suffer
Pennywise - About Time
No Fun At All - Out Of Bounds
AFI - Sing the Sorrow
Descendents - Everything Sucks
Bouncing Souls - How I Spent My Summervacation
Vandals - Hitler bad, Vandals Good
