Great Punk Albums

One of my favorite punk albums is a little album, or perhaps it was an EP by D.O.A. in compilation with Jello Biafra. It's called 'The Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbor'. The last song is called Full Metal Jack Off. That song is still relevant today.

That is a great album. I have it as well. That song is so damn long, its hard to use it when you play out at a club. Perfect "bathroom" break track if you were a DJ though. Nows its rolling through my head - "Get on, get off, ignore everything to the sides" - "want to hide something like a crack lab, hide it in plain sight" - "In a black van with no windows and a chimney puffing smoke" - Awesome

Jello rules!

Here are a few Punk bands in my collection:

Dead Kennedys
Ramones
Mistfits
Decendents
Meatmen
Reagans Youth
Sloppy Seconds
7 Seconds
Exploited
Circle Jerks
Social Distortion
Pagan Babies - the Philly band not Courtney Loves crap "The Pagan Babies" band
...and a bunch more. I have to look in my cassette case to find the rest of them

+1 on that, haven't listened for ages but have the vinyl sitting around somewhere. I'm going to have to find where I put it now.

If you like the Jello + DOA stuff, have you heard the Lard stuff he did with the Ministry guys? There's a lot of similar awesomeness there.

Got some of their albums too - The Power of Lard with the large worm thing on the vinyl album cover and the Last Temptation of Reid. I still need (buy) the other three albums. I am a huge Jello and DK fan. I have lots of spoken word albums as well from Jello.
 
I can't believe its taken 12 pages.....:eek:

Bad religion-"No Control" and "Against the Grain"

Come on people!!!! :mad:

:smug: jk

...but seriously...

+30000 for most Bad Religion. Even the new stuff is fantastic. Empire Strikes First is one of my favorite by them, and it came out only a few years ago!

ALSO!

Check out Ignite if you haven't already. Our Darkest Days is a great record, came out in '06.
 
Sorry, didn't read the whole thread, but these are some of the albums that are still in my regular rotation from my punk rock days:

Bad Brains - Rock for Light
Minor Threat - the one that has all their stuff on it
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables/Plastic Surgery Disasters
Descendents - Liveage
Fear - Live For The Record
Minutemen - Double Nickles On The Dime
Ramones - Loco Live
The Cramps - Songs The Lord Taught Us
The Clash - London Calling
Circle Jerks - Group Sex
Not exactly punk, but close enough for me to mention it; Iggy and The Stooges - Raw Power.
And of course the one that goes without mentioning, so I won't mention it....

Yes, I grew up in the 80's, can't you tell?
