Best Punk album of all time
Discutibilissima e prevalentemente prima ondata. Classifica quasi "mission impossible". Dalla sesta posizione in poi molti vanno affiancati. Alla fine sono 20 dischi. Mi prometto di inserire, dove possibile, anche le seconde opere. In alcuni casi valgono più delle prime.
<b>The Damned</b> • Damned Damned Damned

1

The Damned • Damned Damned Damned

Il primo, quello più vario. Brian James era un macchina da riff e l'album è quello meglio suonato in assoluto.
<b>The Clash</b> • The Clash

2

The Clash • The Clash

Secondi, anche se poi i più grandi. Equilibrio perfetto tra temi trattati e angoscia sociale.
<b>Sex Pistols</b> • Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols

3

Sex Pistols • Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols

Al terzo posto perchè nonostante importanza è sempre stato un clichè ripetitivo. Sovraesposti.
<b>The Saints</b> • (I'm) Stranded

4

The Saints • (I'm) Stranded

Al quarto posto perchè furono anticipatori e a distanza. Fossero arrivati prima negli UK sarebbero arrivati prima dei Damned.
<b>The Stranglers</b> • Rattus Norvegicus

5

The Stranglers • Rattus Norvegicus

Tecnicamente la miglior formazione. Damned e Stranglers si sfidavano a cricket regolarmente. Credo si giocarono l'organetto di Dave Greenfield, nel 1977 una perla rara.
<b>X-Ray Spex</b> • Germfree Adolescents

6

X-Ray Spex • Germfree Adolescents

I am a poseur and I don't care I like to make people stare. Spesso era Strummer il destinatario di questi epiteti. Ad ogni modo gli X-Ray erano la voce femminile del Punk.
<b>999</b> • 999

7

999 • 999

L'emergenze del Punk in un suono decisamente più complesso rispetto ad altri dischi Punk datati 1978.
<b>The Adverts</b> • Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts

8

The Adverts • Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts

I Damned conoscono tre accordi, gli Adverts uno solo...venite ad ascoltarli tutti e quattro. Eppure erano fascinosi e idolatrati. Questo album non contiene il loro miglior successo
<b>Stiff Little Fingers</b> • Inflammable Material

9

Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material

Potente, incazzato. Non viene quasi mai citato. Sarà la copertina......
<b>Buzzcocks</b> • Spiral Scratch

10

Buzzcocks • Spiral Scratch

Anche se EP - Ma contiene Boredom e il solo pezzo vale quanto un album.
<b>Wire</b> • Pink Flag

11

Wire • Pink Flag

Diversi da tutti. Circa 35 minuti di anticipazioni sonore arrivate dal futuro.
<b>The Vibrators</b> • Pure Mania

12

The Vibrators • Pure Mania

Punk o no, i Vibrators hanno messo su un album che ha incarnato l'intero movimento punk, canzoni veloci, brevi e brutali con grandi riff e testi, è difficile trovare una forma migliore. Gli occhiali da sole bianchi.....li riprenderà qualcuno nei Decibel.
<b>Generation X</b> • Generation X

13

Generation X • Generation X

Tony James non ha mai sbagliato un colpo. L'album arrivò un po' in ritardo ma gli X erano la parte più energica del movimento.
<b>Chelsea</b> • Chelsea

14

Chelsea • Chelsea

Band crocevia (al pari degli London SS) genesi e appoggio di diverse line up. Gene October il pilastro.
<b>The Ruts</b> • The Crack

15

The Ruts • The Crack

Album tardivo (1979) quindi più maturo e strutturato. Non conoscerlo è una mancanza di fondamentali.
<b>UK Subs</b> • Another Kind of Blues

16

UK Subs • Another Kind of Blues

Chi perse il treno nel 1976 trovò spazio quasi 3 anni dopo per il proprio album. Nonostante questo il primo album dei Subs è il suono del punk dei club della prima ondata. Hardcore quanto basta senza essere eccessivo nella potenza.
<b>The Lurkers</b> • Fulham Fallout

17

The Lurkers • Fulham Fallout

Il suono della west London in soli 3 accordi. Il Punk genuino.
<b>Johnny Moped</b> • Cycledelic

18

Johnny Moped • Cycledelic

Anche questo tardivo. Johnny Moped: una colonna portante della primissima ondata.
<b>Adam and The Ants</b> • Dirk Wears White Sox

19

Adam and The Ants • Dirk Wears White Sox

Il limite massimo tra il Punk prima ondata con il resto a venire.
<b>Eddie & The Hot Rods</b> • Teenage Depression

20

Eddie & The Hot Rods • Teenage Depression

La cosa più Punk tra quello non punk. (è fuori classifica)

      Here we should distinguish between first wave Punk and Punk after. My suggestions referred to the first wave from '76 to '78.
    • Gabitout
      31 jul
      Yes, obviously first wave Punk. Anything related to the second wave and HC offshoots doesn’t concern me.

      In fact, your ranking lists classic UK punk bands (except for the Saints), even though punk was born in the USA with the Ramones, Richard Hell & Voidoids, Patti Smith, etc. For me, punk is only the UK one.
    • Gabitout
      31 jul
      Yes, I'm including the Saints because they moved from Australia to the UK to closely follow the developments of the movement (even though they were somewhat rejected...). I absolutely won't include the Ramones or Blondie or the CBGB scene, as they deserve a separate section.

      No, but in fact... rankings are very personal after all... de gustibus...
      Adam and The Ants in a punk ranking doesn't seem very relevant to me, for example, but if someone wants to include them, that's perfectly fine.

      It’s from that period, and if we really want, we could add a trailblazer like Ian Dury.
    • Gabitout

      @[gaston] Sure, unfortunately I wouldn’t know how to specify the title, but I added the description to avoid misunderstandings.
      As for Adam Ant. In my opinion, this was the earlier lineup, still within the Punk aesthetics. Before McLaren took some people away to create BowWowWow. In the singles and up to that album, Adam Ant fits perfectly into the Punk circus. After that, even with a great Pirroni, he became a spectacle.
      Beautiful the reference in the WOT videoclip by Captain Sensible, when in the verse:

      Well, hello Adam, where you been?
      I said a'stand aside 'cause I'm feelin' mean
      I've had a gutful of you and I'm feelin' bad
      Well, you're an ugly old pirate and ain't I glad

      @[Buckley] True. Ian Dury was definitely a pioneer in attitude. It must be said that among the few (UK based) who, during the first wave, were spared the mockery were: Marc Bolan and Peter Hammill. strofa: furono:

      Great explanation! Your ranking is strictly UK punk, with bands that best represented the socially challenging period that England and the whole UK were going through. Scaruffi made a list of the best punk albums and in the top 100 only 10% are British bands, the rest are just USA bands, mixing HC, post-punk, and other subgenres. Your ranking is much more valuable 👍 P.S. Did I become X-ray Specs?
    • Gabitout

      @[Buckley] I hadn’t found it. I noticed that the search below the ranking, where you can add directly, doesn’t pull from the same database as the searches. It didn't show up for me and then I missed the correct query. Added!

      Added the 999. As stated in the description, I will complete with the second issues (consistent with the theme) where appropriate. Now it's time to go to the beach.

      I have a thought about that period that I experienced fully, being twenty at the time. It was more of a social phenomenon than a musical one, even though a new band would form every day, with many “cani” but also skilled musicians—I’m thinking of Matlock before Vicious, Rotten himself, the two Joneses (Pistols and Clash), Severin, Pirroni, Devoto, Shelley, and so on.

      I’m fond of that period, but many things I can no longer feel.

      Devoto is probably the one who has built the most without collecting what is "Due". Essentially, I believe it was a grassroots phenomenon that repeats itself cyclically and in different forms. The difference is always how genuine this drive actually is, and not just a cliché.

      I am a cliche
      I am a cliche, I am a cliche
      I am a cliche, I am a cliche
      I am a cliche you've seen before
      I am a cliche that lives next door
      I am a cliche you know what I mean
      I am a cliche pink is obscene
