Te wa those are some great albums. I think you might have a difficult time selling it as a whole group. Even with throwing in the awesome Reign In Blood! I would look at a store that buys discs and go that route.

Bought this the other day. Two awesome bands from The UK

I grew up in southern CA in the 80s and early 90s surfing and skating. I've listened to, and went to shows of, a lot of great bands. As cassettes got phased out, so did a lot of my punk albums unfortunately.

A few bands/albums have survived the shift over to cd/mp3 with me and still get in the rotation on my ipod...

Social Distortion
Los Infernos
The Cramps
X
DI
Adolescents
The Crowd
Black Flag
Bad Religion
Cadillac Tramps
Operation Ivy
Rancid
Minor Threat
Fugazi
Face to Face
Ill Repute

I remember, I used to have a bunch of great hardcore albums from bands like Uniform Choice, Youth of Today, Ignite, Gorilla Biscuits, etc. and an eclectic mix of punk from all over, back when I was in high school.

Interestingly, around that same time, my dad's friend who knew I liked X, turned me on to the Knitters and the Blasters which, over the years, has lead me down the path of becoming a big fan of American Roots Rock, old country, old rockabilly, etc.

Nice list Nick...I like all of those bands a lot...though the only one I have not heard of was Los Infernos.

Big X fan by the way!

The cool daddys

That's pretty much all I have to say. Maybe they technically aren't punk but they are certainly heavily influenced by the genre. Tops on my list.

Melvins!

Definitely punk. Heavy as heck too. I have their first demo, and it was pure hardcore blasts from 1984 or so. Gluey Porch Treatments get played at my house every so often.

Their drummer was also Nirvana's first drummer

and this band has not left my speakers all day! The 'Tone from The UK

LOVE THEM!

kurt needed to borrow dale, I don't think anyone ever considered dale to be the actual drummer... someone wasn't very motivated to find a new drummer with skill like that to borrow, the hometown angle was the in

Liars - Scarecrows On A Killer Slant (YouTube)

Novoselic was at the last cellophane square show for Stoner Witch, since I was watching Engine Kid rip it up... that tall *astard has been going to the King's NW shows

I think we're going to get along just fine Nick...
I mentioned the Melvins somewhere earlier in this thread.

Boris off of Bullhead is probably one of my favorites when I'm in the mood to rattle the windows and disturb the neighbors.

Ken, I'll have to look for that band. Gluey is insane.

Nice, Craig! Looking forward to meeting you.

Goggles off of Stag is unreal also. I think their newer line up with Big Business is amazing. They are so dynamic live. I saw them at Spaceland in Silverlake last January. They were in residence and played every Friday night for the month. They played multiple entire albums each night. I nearly lost my mind.

I just listened to the entire Jesus Lizard catalog straight through today in the studio. These two bands comprise about 60% or more of what I listen to while working. So good.

Fitting for the Holidays

Classic as classics should be

Polarizing yes

Either you like them or you don't....I like them

"Stations of the Crass" is a classic. A Björk favorite, I've heard.

nice Doug! And yes it is. Bjork played in a band in the early 80's that were heavily influenced by Crass

Back in the day Orange County Hard Core Punk Rock. Never leave your roots!

That shirt still fits you???? OC Straight edge!

Ken,
That shirt barely fits me-barely. Hiking has kept me fit over the years plus listening to right tunes on the trail. Punk Rock just makes me walk faster.

+1!

Continuing on the Icelandic thread:

the last time I was in Reykjavik (more than 7 years ago) came across an original (Smoke 7) copy of Red Cro$s "Born Innocent" in a record shop. It used to belong to a member of an early 90's Icelandic band, Stilluppsteypa, that also started out influenced by Crass.
