I would argue that The Jam were never true punk, but if they were they stopped being it from All Mod Cons.

I have little liking for the period, but Joy Division's Closer is at least worth mentioning.

As for true punk I've hardly even got a favorite album. But I see lots of stuff I like being posted here by others, that mostly fit better in New Wave/Goth-rock/hardcore and everything else often thought of as post-punk. Love tons of that stuff. But I feel more like posting a few "punky" songs from albums I generally enjoy that rarely gets a mention:

These guys were great, wether under the Athletico Spizz, Spizzenergi (etc..)-moniker


Lara Logic was way better without the X-Ray Specs


Their early stuff is all wonderful

Here's an attempt at making a list of my favourite "punk" albums, but most of it is more like proto punk, post punk, new wave or just musically related to punk in some way.

The Velvet Underground: The Velvet Underground and Nico + White Light White Heat
Iggy Pop: Raw Power + The Idiot + Lust For Life
The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World
Philemon Arthur and the Dung: Philemon Arthur and the Dung
Television: Marquee Moon
The Sex Pistols: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols
Talking Heads: More Songs About Buildings and Food + Fear of Music + Remain in Light
The Police: Zenyatta Mondatta + Synchronicity
The Clash: The Clash + London Calling + Sandinista!
Sods: Minutes to Go
Kliché: Supertanker + Okay Okay Boys
Sort Sol: Everything That Rises Must Converge + Flow My Firetear
Idles: Brutalism

If punk (or metal for that matter) wanted to be loved by me, it should sound like this album:

Anyway, I'm glad to see this attempt.

Sonically, maybe/yes.
Spiritually not likely.
Attitude-wise , no
Lyrics-wise, not a chance.

That's why anything "protopunk" is so much more fun than just plain punk. Can had their more punk than punk moment in 1969


Here's the ultimate protopunk-tune - from 1966... and it's another "no" Lyrics-wise.

very good book. Plenty to quibble about which bands were included (I’d think Dead Kennedys/Alternative Tentacles label would be a no-brainer, for example) but he covers what he chose to cover very well. And using the first 2 SST bands (Black Flag & Minutemen) as the initial “big bang” is as good a focal point as any. I applaud the care the author took covering the topic, and spending a lot of time on a few bands rather than trying to cover all of them.

Years ago I got really into the Ramones' first 4 albums, and they remain some of my favorite albums to this day (don't care for anything they've done afterwards). Once every few years they're all I listen to for like a week or two and then I get burned out on them. Outside of that the only punk album in my collection is The Offspring's Ixnay on the Hombre. A very fun pop punk album. I'm planning to get some Fugazi CDs in the near-future though.

One more discovery in my collection of what on RYM is considered to be a Punk album:
Shellac  (USA)  -  At Action Park  (Post-Hardcore, 1994)

What do you think of that, Lewian?

Fugazi's Repeater is something quite else than The Ramones and Pop Punk. Smile

Shellac  (USA)  -  At Action Park  (Post-Hardcore, 1994)

Actually, this album is very interesting in relation to Progressive Rock, as it can be also labeled "Math Rock", and thus is 
an exmple of the closeness and even commonship that can be found between some of Punk and Prog. Star

Their early albums are classified as Punk Rock on RYM (and highly rated).
