90s punk rock gets a lot of shit for some reason. Older fans claiming “its not really punk” is complete nonsense. All that happened was audience tastes changed and it became accepted by mainstream media which meant those bands got their songs on the radio. 2/3 years prior to Dookie and Smash those same bands were all playing in underground clubs to 10 people or less putting out music DIY and writing the same music that no one wanted to hear. They didn’t sell out or change their music just got popular.

Dude thanks for putting up this video. Somewhat I agree and somewhat I disagree but good video about punk albums. There are elite punkers who would be mad but a lot of these bands changed punk in a good way. I like how you discuss about your experience because that’s what’s it’s all about… going through the experience. Very cool tho Chester Cat is way better than their 2003 album. I love Rancid tho Let’s Go is top for me. NOFX on point but my number 2 punk album. Suicide Machines are so dope and that album is my number 3 punk album. I want to make a best punk albums and I’ll let you know when that’s done. Cheers!

Let’s go is a damn good album! I initially considered it, but I think Wolves is a little more influential (mainly because of its huge mainstream success), and I love the evolution of their sound on Life along Wait (mixing in more ska and reggae).
@robertsteinberger5667Ай бұрын
Somehow it is not fashionable to be negative about blink 182 but they were so commercial. All edges of punk were removed and they sound closer to weezer than to the circle jerks. They are a very watered down version of punk and their best song all the small things isnt even that good, the middle is the same song but better.
@mattnewman9799 Жыл бұрын
Great list. How could you not have The Sex Pistols in your top five?!? JUST KIDDING!!!! I would put Sex Pistols, The Clash London Calling, The Cramps self titled, The Misfits Static Age and Ramones Mania in my top 5. I am definitely going to check out Get Dead Dancing With the Curse.
@TheVinylDen Жыл бұрын
To stop myself from sounding like a gatekeeping a** I try my best not to discuss The Sex Pistols. 😂 I think Static Age would be more highly regarded by the masses had it been released in the late '70s when it was recorded, and not in the mid '90s. I also think the Misfits would have had more sustained success in their early career (and possibly not broken up when they did) had it been released.

Rich Kids on LSD - Rock and Roll Nightmare. my fav Bad Brains - Rock for Light. great gas station music if your working Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime my fav is Three Way Tie for Last Bargain Music - The Magic is over its not really punk rock Strung Out - the element of sonic defiance never mentioned A.F.I - Very Proud of Ya i swear they used to be punk Bad Religion - No Control Suffer is a close second for me i appreciate the suggestions i grew up kinda poor in a mountain town by Santa Cruz Ca had friends into Good Riddance and Lagwagon but they never hit me, got a friend in Craig's Brother. Black Flag and Henry Rollins albums i enjoyed. 88 Fingers Louie the first 2 Slightly Stoopid you might skip some songs. all i can remember from the 90s my music collection is in storage currently.

My all time top 3 would be The Clash’s 1st album (American version) The Ruts ‘The Crack’ and the Bad Brains first album which for years you could only get on cassette. After that maybe The Angry Samoans Back from Samoa which is arguably the snottiest punk record ever and maybe one or the other of the Stranglers first LP’s Rattus Norvegicus or No more heroes. They’re both great.

Go back and listen to more punk bands from the 70s and 80s. There is no way youve heard much from that era of punk. Putting Blink 182 on it voidz your entire list and you had a couple decent picks. I mean seriously, Blink 182 belong to worst of list. It sounds like music for toddlers with bad taste.

You are self-admittedly a second generation punker. Your omission of Never Mind the Bollocks, Young Loud and Snotty and the debut album by the Clash is just wrong. Also, IMO, American Idiot is a better album than Dookie. Although I like that album too.
@TheVinylDenАй бұрын
American Idiot is a good, but IMO it’s just not a punk album. Green Day’s last real punk album was probably Insomniac. As for the Sex Pistols, they were the ‘70s punk version of the Backstreet Boys. They were a fake band put together so Malcolm McLaren could sell clothing. Yes Bollocks ended up being an influential album, but I just don’t think it’s as good as people make it out to be. The Spunk demos are far better than what’s on Bollocks.

@@TheSqeela When considering what I think are the best I look at other factors outside of personal preference (which I can’t deny does factor in, but not as much as some would think). I also take into account quality of recording, influence, sales/chart position, & mainstream success. It’s definitely not a science, but I try to separate personal feelings from what I consider the best. TBH of these top 5, only 2 (maybe 3) would be in my favorite top 5.
