Maybe for clarification

You should name your favorite punk album, it doesn't have to be from the selection shown 😉

@historyofpunkrock

I was little 13 y.o and a friend of mine gave me a mix tape. MAXELL XL II 90min.
Before This day i listen to Anthrax, Metallica, Destruction....after this warm sunny day, my whole music world changed. It was an ignition, a travel to a new universe, still today. A few month later, listening to 7Seconds "Young till I die" I got on my mother's nerves until she bought an electric guitar for my next birthday.

@historyofpunkrock I'd go with Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, though It's Alive is a good choice. I'd like to have seen London Calling on the list, which I much prefer to Combat Rock.

Edit: D'oh. You're asking about the best of all time, not the best of those shown. But I'll stick with Fresh Fruit. Appeal to Reason has gotten a lot of ear time lately, though.

@historyofpunkrock
Bad Brains yellow Roir cassette.
@historyofpunkrock The Clash’s first album is hard to best.
@historyofpunkrock Fresh Fruits For Rotten Vegetables: my first thought.
And of course "Marquee Moon", but i wouldn't call it punk rock..
@historyofpunkrock Without thinking it's Fresh Fruit. After thinking it's too hard to call.

@historyofpunkrock

Of those choices — acknowledging the calibre of many of the alternatives — I have to choose Marquee Moon, though it's not full-on punk. For these choices for *punk* I'd say the Dead Kennedys…

@historyofpunkrock Refused - The shape of punk to come. And I am aware that opinions will arise in that matter.

@historyofpunkrock Everybody’s talking about Lemmy, here’s how Lemmy, apparently, united the punks and the metal heads…

@historyofpunkrock wire - pink flag. essential.
@historyofpunkrock This is “Horses” erasure.
@historyofpunkrock NMTB. I know they're a cliche but as a 13 year old in Norwich, it was like a feckin' bazooka incoming. Changed everything for me.

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

For the lyrics, the music, the Jello voice and the memories of being a wee 16 year old with great punk rock enthusiasm.

@historyofpunkrock
It's Alive changed my life.

Minor Threat's Minor Threat did too.

@historyofpunkrock Hüsker Dü - Land Speed Record
@historyofpunkrock I bought Another Music in a Different Kitchen (Buzzcocks) and This Year's Model (Elvis Costello) on the same day. Hard to separate those two.
@historyofpunkrock Fun House. Doesn't get better than that.
@historyofpunkrock Bad Religion - The Empire strikes first
@historyofpunkrock No way. Too many possibillities
@historyofpunkrock
I know this is out on a limb, but... I love it to death.

DK Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

@historyofpunkrock If you’ll allow me some post-punk, it’s a tie between Gang of Four’s “Entertainment!” and Wire’s “Chairs Missing” IMHO

@historyofpunkrock

I take back my previous statement. There is only one possible answer:

John Cale Sabotage/Live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8DTuRdcy0k

John Cale is the alpha and omega of punk.

More post-punk, but still good. 🙂
