Great to see some electronic albums in a "punk" video. The only thing more punk than not being able to play a guitar is not being able to play a keyboard.

This may be the best 70’s Punk list I’ve seen.

Great video. Can’t wait for top 80 1980s punk albums!

Love your channel and your punk collection. You have amazing taste in music. Keep up the great work!

It's amazing vídeo with great vinyl records.The punk has been style music of my teenage . Thank you Richie from Brazil

I remember many of this Punk albums that my old school bud Erik showed me. I wanna start collect early punk & garage but curently working on a Herman Stone Project lol. And you need a hugh thank you for taking the time to do this 😃

Enjoyed the video. A lot of great music.

Hey Richie, great punk video I really enjoyed the showing you could see you were really passionate about this theme 70’s punk, Cheers Snowy

I saw The Police on that same tour. Got snowed in, nobody could leave until late next morning. Only about 75 people even showed up and the band played like it was 75,000. Hung out and drank with us all night. Thank you for bringing that memory back.

fantastic list, Richie. love hearing the stories of the gigs you went to back when.

Always love your punk videos! I'll have to check out Ryan's vid too.

Good stuff Richie! Long but I love your punk collection. Went by quick. Can't argue with your top ten.

Thanks for the shout out and link! Looking forward to hanging out on the live stream tomorrow. I'm taking notes on this list right now

This is so freaking awesome! So glad u did this vid! I even have some these records so that made it even more interesting! I need to lay hands on that Crushed Butler record! I have the second Richard Hell record and I love it! I’ve added several of these albums to my want list ! I remember you gave me my first good comment when I showed that Dictators album LoL! It is BRuce Springsteen who shouts 1-2-3-4 go! Or something like that Haha! Love that Buzzcocks album too! I’ve been trying to find both the 1st Human League album and that Nerves record but so far striking out! Steve Carlson sent me a copy of that Cramps record before the flood! Ryan Kidd has one of the best Cramps collections I’ve ever seen! He has a great channel! I may check out Low Noise live stream tomorrow night! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

Just found your channel. Good stuff man! Subscribed.

Super rad video and concept. Love the choices and commentary. Bought DK's _Bedtime_ in 1986 and have never looked back. Unfortunately, it also meant that I missed some incredible 70s material that fell through the cracks.

I like watching your list videos to see how many of the records you show that I have. I own 23 of these and hope to get some of the others soon!

This one was it for me. Yeah, I have a handful of the LP's you showed; the majority of them I do not, but the list... the list was fu**ing brilliant. The explanations and descriptions were perfect. "This" is how you talk about records. Rode the whole video without blinking. Probably in my top 3 most favorite videos of yours - TONE

Fantastic selection !

Hi Richie, very cool collection!

Enjoyed the video man! I almost bought a used copy of that b-52's the other day but I put it out of the sleeve and it was beat to hell. Stay safe Richie

Thanks Billy! Great list.

This ruled! Always wanted that Sods record, never see that one around. Electrify Me is A+ it would of made my list if I had it. Great comps, makes me wanna do a Punk compilation video. That was an hour an 15 minutes but went by in a flash. A lot of fun! See you on Jason’s stream tonight, cheers!

I have a feeling the thumbs down are Prog fans.

That signed record of the Ramones... OMFG!!!! Priceless as you said!

Thanks for taking time out to make the list, some brilliant choices and a few that maybe aren’t punk. For me the top ten would include the U.K. Subs, Stiff Little Fingers, Penetration, 999, X Ray Spex, The Ruts and the greatest punk band of them all Wayne County and the Electric Chairs. If you want to hear some contemporary punk that takes you back to 1977 try the U.K. bands Knock Off and Gimp Fist, they are proper punk bands.

Hey Richie. Thank you for showing some love for Sods and their "Minutes To Go" album. Sods are from my country, Denmark 🇩🇰 🙂. They did three albums (I believe) under the Sods moniker before changing their name to Sort Sol, Danish for Black Sun, which is an expression we use when birds gather in the autumn to head south for warmer weather. You see them fly together, moving in waves almost. When they move around in front of the sunlight, we call it Sort Sol. Take care / Jacob.

Nice one, Richie. Unique. I should know, I was about, then. 🕶️

Awesome as usual. Being from Canada I have some different ones like Teenage Head, The Battered Wives and the Diodes. They all recorded in the late 70's. There was actually a very cool punk scene in Canada in the late seventies and early 80's. Cheers

I love your list, you have quite an eclectic collection. I was a Stooge, MC5,Dolls pre punk junkie living in New York and eager to hear more similar sounds. The fan magazine N.Y. Rocker ran a photo of a new band with Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan and Richard Hell called the Heartbreakers, that was the start of punk for me (keep in mind it was the Heartbreakers going to London that started the punk scene there sadly also the herion drug use. I already was hip to The Dictators first LP (Killer punk Anthems). I went regularly to CBGB and Max's and saw many bands on your list. Thanks for mentioning Wire, Cramps, Pere Ubu, Mink DeVille, Contortions, DMZ ,Dead Boys and The Heartbreakers. I agree with most but some were too soft for my taste even though I had purchased most on your list I collected mostly 45's and EP's in 1976-77 and was happy to see The Saints EP on your list you could have included their first LP. Thanks for the memories and Rock On!

Richie love this episode killer 70 choices Brian Eno, The Police , Siouxsie And the Banshees . Clash and Joy Division Can’t forget Iggy Pop and the Stooges so damn great . Ritchie this was a beautiful education on punk too love it man. Lovellandrew

Nice going.....fun and sweet choices. That Akron Ohio put out some killer bands. Glad to see Patti / Lenny and Gary Numan up there. Stew was the punker with the Police, too bad they went south.

What an absolutely great video and even better list.. Always great vids to watch.. Looking forward to your 80's list.. I noticed you left off stiff little fingers.. Not a fan?? Keep up the excellent work.

I am in Philadelphia and I just got Wattie of The EXPLOITED to autograph 3 of my rarest record jackets. Tonight's show is in a church and should be good. I wish they would have came to Detroit. Philadelphia is a busy place.

Hey Vinyl Richie. Thanks for the epic video. You showed a lot of great records. My favorites of the bunch Nerves, Joe Jackson, Specials, Madness, Police, Clash, B52s, Elvis Costello and of course the Ramones. By the way, I love that first Plimsouls EP too! Take care. / Matt

Great list! But wait, you included Iggy and the stooges and you told me in your top 100 punk that was pre punk, and you included Joy Division and Ultravox which was post punk. LOL! Just busting you. Really good video and list. I loved your lil’ jab to Mazzy about Yoko regarding B52’s. I would have added The Jam, Undertones and The Rich Kids too. Curious, have you ever heard or listened to Fingerprintz. Their first album Distinguishing Marks is awesome, but I think that came out in 1980.

Killer comps man. I want all of those.

Great picks

Yeah... Ryan's video was good for sure ! Richie, your Punk top 100 was really good.. like what you said in a comment about Gram Parson's.. he did totally change the original vibe of Byrds... once he was gone, they got back on track with Clarence, Skip, and Gene parsons, and oh yeah.. Roger.

Rich you nailed it! Including some non traditional’punk’ music is the reason I like you so much. We think alike.

I don't have the record yet that I was going to use for my next video but this has inspired me. Get ready for my 10 best punk rock comp albums.

Great records. I hope to see you at Punk Rock Bowling.

That's a big stack of records...cool response to Ryan's video.

Hi Richie, a great list as expected from the Punk Guru. One regret of mine was not seeing the Cramps or PIL live, but I saw most of the UK punk bands - The Damned were one of the best. I saw Talking Heads live twice, fantastic! Also The Banshees and The Cure together one night and Robert Smith played for both bands - Siouxsie smashed a guy in front of me on the head with the mic for spitting. The Stranglers were also superb live and still are great today. I saw The B52's when they first came to London - brilliant! I would put The Residents as punk as they pissed off a lot of people with their early stuff :) Their Commercial Album is genius. Ramones at number 1, yes. Never saw them live either :( Cheers, Paul

Valuable information. I will have fun checking some of this stuff out. But I would have tried to squeeze in Husker Du, X, and Fear.

Great list...have a listen too Germ free adolescents... x ray spex Imflamable material.... slf Nobodies heroes... slf The crack.. the ruts

FANTASTICS

This was great. Any plans for an 80's punk video? Just picked up Anti-Nowhere League I Hate People LP-brutal! Take care.

I agree with you on The Who choice after Keith passed away. Scabies would have been a great replacement. After seeing them with Moon and then seeing them with the other guy in 1979. It was like night and day. I forget the guy's name right now. But he never really filled in the position. Their sound was suddenly hollowed. Excellent list Rich. Gen X. Superb record~ Rob/Boston

Great list! Nice expansive view of punk. I largely concur, and own about 95% of those in my collection. I'm a cd collector tho, so probably a total philistine to those in the vc. Never really cared much for Madness, but I'll give them another look. Wasn't aware of the Consumers or the Sods, have to check them out too. Was surprised you didn't list Gang Of Four's "Entertainment" or The Adverts "Crossing The Red Sea...", both are crucial IMO. Also, how about MX-80's "Hard Attack", Simply Saucer's "Cyborgs Revisited", The Outsiders' "Close Up", Graham Parker's "Howlin' Wind", or The Suicide Commandos' "Make A Record"? Or maybe ATV's "The Image Has Cracked" and The Pop Group's "Y"? Also I'd definitely include something by The Only Ones and The Fall as well. Wish they would reissue that Plugz album, it's really underrated.

Loads of classics here Richie in this feature length; Here Come the Warm Jets, Raincoats, Modern Dance, Suicide, 77, Are We Not Men (that's the European cover I have), Pink Flag and obviously Unknown Pleasures would be my highlights. Obviously rankings are down to preference. I think stuff like the Specials was indeed seen as part of punk in the UK in some way because ska/2-tone was also part of the youth culture of the time.

The Stooges, the cramps, the vibrators, the stranglers, the crass, Patty Smith , devo, damned, the B 52's , ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹

Crushed Baller , need to check it out. Dead Boys were in Cleveland and then Johnny Thunders convinced them to come to NY and introduced them to Heroin. The rest is history. Read a great book about NY Punk by Phil Marcade from The Senders. Johnny Thunders introduced him to Heroin also. Lot of rock n roll are on punk compilations so I call them punk. Nice list. I need The Adverts first album, not cheap Steve

Love baby's on fire especially the version by the Creepers. That was one of my all time fave songs for years and years.

Hi Richie, really enjoyed the vid👍 Just a question about the Black Flag album..... Is there a reason why the emblem was covered up in that white paint? Cheers 🍺

Radio Birdman were really big disciples of the stooges & the MC5 Interesting band, formed in Sydney Australia with a guitarist from Michigan Deniz Tek who is amazing, a former Air Force emergency surgeon The original “iceman” You should check out New Race the “All star” band that came together & only toured, released a live album & then split up, included members of Birdman, the stooges & the MC5, also the bands that sprung from this scene like The New Christ, the Lime Spiders, the Celibate Rifles, The Hitmen ( bit like the Dictators)

PUNK FOR LIFE..

Love radio birdman

The guy from The Normal started Mute Records in the UK, one of the best UK indie labels. They gave the label Blast First, releasing Sonic Youth, Big Black etc, in the UK. If you've not listened to the Buzzcocks "Spiral Scratch", then check it out, that's "punk"!

V.R. YOUR THE REAL DEAL , YOU AND MAZZY... NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS WITH THE OTHER WANKERS. YOU TELL IT LIKE IT IS. SHORT AND SWEET... ROCK ON BROTHER MAN😎🎶🎵🎼✌👍

Great video. Needs to be more punk on these channels. Not the same boring bs.

Whoever produced that Sex Pistols album did one helluva great job! To make that band into a masterpiece of an album that still stands up today is amazing! Love the song Bodies! “ Strapped on a table in a factory! An unintimate place to be Dying little baby in a lavatory Die little baby screaming !” Holy shit right?!? Again this is as you always say “Fantastic!”

I appreciate what the New York Dolls did/are, but they still haven't quite clicked with me yet. Eno, never had that issue - loved him the second I heard him, and the first two solo albums are the ones I play the most. Sketches - I need to look for that album. I hate Ska, but I do like Madness (and The Specials in small doses). Love The Cramps.

Eddie and the Hot Rods life on the line...you showed a lot of good stuff ..I went fr punk to noise ..Rezillos FabPoodels

Great video! One note; Chavo from Black Flag is not Dez. Chavo is Ron Reyes

Great video. I lived next door to one of the guitar players from the Cramps. Are you a D.I. fan?

Eddie & the Hot Rods were important in the development of UK Punk and were cited as such by legendary DJ John Peel.

Sods' album "Minutes to go" is such an incredible classic! Great brutal sound production and quality song writing and performance!

I would have loved to seen B52s live back in the day. Some of their performances on KZfaq are just absolutely nuts. They really give it their all lol

The Death album is awesome. I have it filed in rock but could easily file it in punk.

Can't really argue with any of that. I like that you threw in titles not necessarily "punk". But it's a state of mind for chrissake. I always considered it that way. It's about ethos, not style or outfit. I'd throw the Flamin Groovies in on that respect. I still need the first Damned, want a legitimate copy so I'll be patient. Same with The Germsn GI. Iconic records I need in my house. Take care Rich

Excellent, Richie. I remember that the Ramones early tour included San Francisco. They were only playing small little clubs. No one knew of them. They played a few shows at a small dive in North Beach which a friend of mine went to. Those shows were legendary and really helped spawn the SF punk scene. I was so pissed I missed that and only found out shortly after. Also, the Residents were a seminal band in SF that presaged the punk scene. They were, and still are, an enigma.

Nice list. What about the Dickies Incredible Shirnking I saw them once in 88 they must have played 25 songs in 45 minutes. Also you mentioned Johnny Moped I think Cycledelic came in the 79 but it could of been 80. Thanks for the video. I hope you sat down after that one.

The Plugz did some great music for the Repo Man soundtrack. And did I miss something? I stayed to the very end. No "Modern Lovers"??? It's a great personal favorite. I consider it one of the best pieces of music ever made let alone best punk, which it truly is. It's got loud driving tempos, ultra-snotty vocals. Produced by John Cale. The Sex Pistols covered one of their songs. Sigh.

The Normal started mute records along with Bruce Gilbert

somehow I missed Joe Jackson - Look Sharp! One More Time is a banger. Will need to keep an eye out for it when I’m browsing the record isles.

...viewer 666, scary ;-) top vid, 1st RAMONES as #1 - fantastic (and fully signed, with tommy, wow) i hate writing on cover's, but this one is a killer! your GI album looks brand new, but i think it's purchased when it came out, it's the issue with the lyric sheet or printed inner sleeve...

Always enjoy 70s punk lists i am 55 been fan since 79 and somehow theres band i never heard of.I beg to differ on crooked butler kicking stooges ass physically remember scott asheton was a real brawler!!

Will you be picking up the new RSD version of L.A.M.F ?

Great list full of bangers! Unfortunately I don't have that all on vinyl but I do on cd. Rhino released Marquee Moon and it should be still in print. To me Germs would be first and Ramones second but who cares. Pure Hell is fantastic. In fact I'm gonna listen it rn. Cheers, Petri

Just an observation On that Replicas album by Tubeway Army That album is among my favorites It kills but one observation I think you said no guitars but actually go back and rock that record cuz there are some amazing screaming guitar work on there He always uses a live drummer not a drum machine and a mix of synth and also guitars Check out the song “ I t Must Have Been Years” you’ll be blown away by the guitar solo! Not a critique just want you to be able to check it out cuz it rips ! Peace ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️

The Heartbreakers have such a 50s influenced sound, I love it

1 Ramones 2 Pistols 3 Germs 4 Clash USA 5 Crass (!) Hard to argue with his Top 5

Well, your definition of punk is pretty out there (Gary Numan? The Police?), but this is a really useful countdown! And now I need to get you a copy of Ha! Ha! Ha!

Wow.. I just listened to “Peaches” by The Stranglers for the first time! Great song about our GA peaches 🍑 !!! Ha

Interesting list. So glad you didn't go for London Calling which I've always felt to be hideously overrated.

Another fascinating video Vinyl BillyIdol 😆 53:00

Liked the list, but no Skids. Are you working for the Yankee Dollar,?

Chavo was Ron Reyes not Dez. He was the Black Flag singer in Decline of Westnern Civilization.

Hey bud just to let you know the “Chavo” era of Flag was Ron Reyes. Dez came after him.

The Normal was Daniel Miller who set up/owned Mute records soon after.

21:20 I have NEVER seen a copy of The Modern Dance that wasn't a cutout. Even back in 1978.

No SLF, The Angels, 999 or Rubber City Rebels?? Guess I'll have to wait for part two....

An HOUR AND 15, who do you think you are Ryan Kidd? 🤷‍♂️. I thought we all had a ( secret) agreement if you were over 23 years old videos would be 29 minutes or less...

Wayne County & The Electric Chairs Rezillos Pre Ultravox Tiger Lilly The Jolt Radiators from Space The Diodes Viletones The Nuns Robert Gorden w/Tuff Darts too name a few .

The Buzzcocks was a singles band. I think all of their 45s are killers. Here in Europe they released a compilation called „Singles Going Steady“. Maybe you should check it out - and change your mind.

Technically, 1980 is the last (tenth) year of the 70's...so you missed out, not including albums from 1980.

You could have got to 80 with proto punk Yoko 🥁

The second album is no more heroes. The third is black and white. You weren't there.

Sods. Danish became Sort Sol
