1.The Very Best Of The Jam by: The Jam June 18, 1999

Whatever people tell me about the ramones: i always say that these guys defined punk music. Still today The Jam is a classic band that will always have a place in my album collection. This CD however is overdoing everything. Punk rock albums are usually very short and having to listen to 20 songs that do all sound extremely simmilar can get tedious. More than this I believe that punk bands very designed for live performances: they had a great attitude to live acts which made them amazing to listen to. The CD takes the heart out of this genre and for that i mark it down. Also there are a few songs could have done without. 81/100

2.Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols by: Sex Pistols May 10, 1993

A cursory listener to "Never Mind The Bollocks" might, just possibly might, wonder why this LP is one of the few records that truly merits the term "essential". After all, isn't Steve Jones' guitar work merely speeded-up heavy metal laced with licks lifted from Chris Spedding? Isn't Paul Cook's drumming efficient, powerful even, but essentially monotonous? Isn't Glen Matlock's bass playing submerged in the mix to the point it hardly registers? As for Johnny Rotten's vocals; well, is that really singing? But it's unlikely that even a cursory listener could miss the rage, frustration and venom in Rotten's delivery. If that listener also took in his words, which skewer the disintegrating society that was late 1970s Britain, and ... Read More:

If you could distill rock music all the way down to it's most basic essence then you'd probably end up with something similar to this. From it's sheet metal production to Iggy's yelps and trills this album is rock in it's most purest form. This record, though, is about more than sound. A feeling is generated by this record, a feeling that starts somewhere in your abdomen and shoots up to your chest and back down again. If these songs don't make you want to rip off your top, grab your crotch and scream then you are dead inside. Catnip for the soul.

one of my personal faves this album,and in my opinion when the jam"sound" began,the jam were not just a singles band as jam fans loved the album tracks just as much,polydor wanted pretty green released as the single from this album,but paul and producer vic heaven insisted on"start" which in turn gave the band their second number one,thats entertainment was also released as an import single as it did so well in holland and charted high in the uk,with a new era of jam fans coming along this album is a good place to start,besides the two tracks mentioned above theres some hidden gems on here,the brilliant"man in the corner shop.but im different now,boy about town and set the house ablaze stand up to the test of time and should have been hits in thier own right.buy ...

The Stranglers were regarded by some as bandwagon jumpers, though they were among the first of the new wave bands to hit the upper reaches of the singles and album charts. Those accusations had something to do with age and occupational history, though it was also obvious that they had far more musical ability than the likes of The Clash or The Banshees. With JJ Burnel's emphatic bass and Dave Greenfield's thrilling keyboard runs standing out, 'Rattus' is an exhilarating musical experience. Hugh Cornwell's affected and provocative vocal delivery also gives the band an identity. The lyrics are a different matter. Articulate, confrontational, often tasteless and offensive, they set the tone for the band's ongoing conflicts with the objects of their rants. On this ... Read More:

8.No More Heroes by: The Stranglers August 20, 2001

Both the single and album, 'No More Heroes,' were eagerly gobbled up by punk fans already familiar with the band's exhilarating mix of brutal bass and keyboard runs. While the single gained a unanimous thumbs-up as did the other hit, 'Something Better Change,' the album took some criticism for being a pale rehash of The Stranglers' debut effort. In truth, some of the lyrical content is too obviously rude for the sake of it, but the band still had some imaginative ideas, notably 'Dead Ringer,' 'Dagenham Dave,' and 'Burning Up Time.' 'School Mam,' which finishes the album, is almost vaudevillean, if tasteless. Bonus tracks bolster the album, however. The cannibalistic vision, 'Straighten Out,' is a superb b-side, while both sides of the inexplicably forgotten hit, '5 Minutes' are also ... Read More:

I first heard this album in 1982 it was a punk rock masterpiece then and has stood the test of time to this day. Anyone with even a passing interest in punk rock needs to own this album , its as simple as that.

10.Smash It Up: the Anthology 1976-1987 by: The Damned February 26, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.98 You Save: £3.01 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.45
This is the Damned album that all fans should have especially if they are more into the old styles of Punk with more resmblance to that of The Clash and Sham 69 to name a couple, which is definitley more to my liking. With great songs like New Rose,Smash it up, Neat Neat Neat and Love Song that break through into your head like a demon that just won't go away.Great guitar work and vocals that help echo the words "Pure Punk" and it is nothing less...The Damned hepled bring Classic Punk kicking and screaming into many peoples lives, and this double Cd covering probably the best years of this fantastic band is a definite Must Buy for the "Punk Obsessed".
