Yeah, I couldn't find a community called punk_fucking_rock, so I posted it here.
This folks have lit up my feed for the last couple of months and I love it. They're great.

First Spam, then Punk... or no, the other way round.
It's where even Python
got its name from.
I'd have called my band "The Bloody Bouzukis".
Love BotH, will have to check these guys out. Also need to do another pass over the concert calendar and figure out what shows I need to buy tix for!
Oh, they were opening for (the incredible) Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds, who I love but are also a known quantity. These folks were unexpected and had all the greater impact for it.
Damn, a key band in my 90s music life & beyond. Was just thinking about digging out their CDs for a few spins last week. Definitely have a few listens now.
Not napalm death, but for a while I went to sleep to the movie "Die hard."
Machine guns and explosions dont normally line up with lullaby's, but I'd watched it so much that I found it comforting. I expect my brain just learned to filter out the louder noises as I slept.
I used to do the same: I would fall asleep to Rings of Saturn in high school. Same deal; more melodic than expected and also untreated AuDHD and bipolar made for a noisy brain.
I used to fall asleep to Napalm Death on my way home from college then university.
It was confusing at first, as I put it on to stay awake, but then I just went with it. My brain accepts their songs as more melodic than they appear, strange. Anyone else have similar experiences?
Seeing them live tonight. 🤟
awesome!
Yah, when they get to the "Touch me again and I will..." part at the end... real chills.
Great song. Didn't know it had a video. Thanks.
Shit list with a lot of 70s poeser shit bands.
Shit idea. Not Punk. And just this top-x idea is not Punk at all...
To non-punks, I guess
No Slaughter and the Dogs - Do it Do Style?
Everyone knows Brain Drain is the best Ramones album.
Devo makes it on to a punk list but not Motörhead?
Pfffft. This list sucks.
Yeah, it's ragebait. It's slop, even tho I think it was written by humans. In a way it was written by a machine: Rolling Stone decides it needs to remain relevant, so it gets a bunch of humans to write this article to drive engagement.
Really the only way to make an list like this is to ask a bunch of people "which punk music has had the most effect on your life?" and then print their individual stories.
They idea of a list of "best punk" is so contradictory, so oxymoronic... I can't believe anyone involved got past 3 albums before abandoning the idea. It's an anathema. Counter to the counterculture. Everyone involved should hang their heads in shame, if they have any remaining self respect.
Do I love many of these albums? Of course. Would I ever try to rank them? Hell no! Even certain comparisons are ludicrous. How do you compare Misfits to Dropkick Murphys? Nevermind bringing in Devo, MC5. Like, wtf. Get outta here.
Not that any of these aren't punk, of course they are. They're just incomparable. Too try is to fail; you've misunderstood the assignment.
Sorry, I'm a little mad at this
This is a very weird list. Only 1 NOFX album, no MxPx albums, and Paramore a pop band is on the list.
Agree - but Charged GBH is missing too. City Baby wants Revenge.
Hmmm yeah, I have ... opinions.
DK at #68 and Stiff Little Fingers at #64 - we can't be friends now.
Minor Threat should be in the top ten but for Out Of Step, not a comp; drop X-Ray Spex down to make room. Get rid of the Wanna Buy a Bridge comp too while you're at it.
Happy they're taking a broad swath here, with the Replacements, Devo, Pogues -- but Paramore, really?
Subhumans should definitely be in that list.
It's not a horrible list, but has some weirdness.
So many good bands in this list, I need to go add these to my mp3 player!
I agree with you (OP). I think maybe remove Nirvana or Devo to add Offspring, but I’d keep Blink182 Dude Ranch because it’s a good album and was one of my earliest purchased punk cds. I still dig Cheshire Cat a bit more though.
I am glad to see Green Day on the list. Dookie came out when I was in 4th grade and it was my intro to everything punk rock, although I bought 1,039/Smooth in ‘94 as my first real cd that wasn’t my parents music. They have been my favorite band ever since.
