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.
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.
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 😃
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 ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️
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 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.
Thanks for watching. I should have looked up where The Sods are from but I just did this from the top of my head. I gad never heard the story of Sort Sol.
The 3 album under the name Sods was : 1. Minutes to go 2. Under en sort sol and 3. Dagger & guitar ( feat. Lydia Lunch on “boy-Girl” 🙂… thanks for great Channel
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.
@@perverseosmosis9799 I wasn’t either initially. I gave some of these a fresh listen to get a better idea where to place them. Live At The Deaf Club was one of those and boy is it good.
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
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
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
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!
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.
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.
If I had Gang Of Four they would have made the list easily. It has been awhile since listening to Crossing The Red Sea but I’ve always felt it is just okay. My two biggest 70’s wants are The Ruts and UK Subs.
@@vinylrichie007 Oh yeah, The Ruts are definitely essential too! Some of the most tensely explosive stuff from the UK scene, it's a shame their run was so tragically cut short. The Fall are the epitome of an acquired taste, and the size of their discog is really intimidating, but they are well worth the effort i think. Mark E. Smith had a highly singular vision and unique aesthetic. "Witch Trials" is a good place to start, or maybe the "Early Fall 77-79" comp of early singles.
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.
@@vinylrichie007 For Sure... I am big on Gene, ( Gene Clark). I was in our band, with his son, Kai Clark from 1993 to 2000. I heard a great deal, of Byrds info, and related stuff , first hand, from my friend Carly, (Kai's mom, and Gene's ex wife). I Love the Byrds !! Still great friends with Kai as well... his new record is very good " Silver Raven". Carla Olson, John York, and Byron Berline, play on this one as well. Love your channel, Richie !
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!
I didn’t have The Saints debut when I made this video. I picked up a great copy since. I saw Blondie in 76 at the Whiskey A Go-Go’s. That was my taste. I want the new reissue of the Heartbreakers album. Thanks for the great comment.
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
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
I regret never buying the Residents. I would have included them. When I saw The Damned the punk kids were complaining about the $10 tickets. I remember reading about Robert Smith playing with both bands on tour. How great is that.
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 became aware of Teenage Head from the VC. I looked Diodes because the name sounded familiar. I know their debut album. I don’t own it but I have heard it. Most surprising to me is that the Battered Wives was released by Bomp Records, the LA label.
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.
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
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.
@@vinylrichie007 Couldnt agree more good sir.. Also the first Outcasts albulm was also a great late 70's albulm.. take care, looking forward to more vids.
@@vinylrichie007 The albulm is called self conscious over you.. check it out if you get a chance, the reissue is available on discogs.. I know after watching your vids my want list goes thru the roof.. They should sponsor your vids. :)
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.
The Police blew up. I don't think their later albums are bad but I purged them. I wasn't going to ever feel the urge to play them. Patti Smith has to be included.
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.
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!”
Hey CV check out the movie D.O.A. when the Pistols toured America and you will hear. minus Sid of course, that the Pistols were nailing their album sound.
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
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)
@@vinylrichie007 the live New Race album called “the first & the last” is superb, also The New Christ are great, same lead singer as Radio Birdman & New Race, While I’m here, some other Aussie stuff you should check out if you’ve got a bit of spare listening time The Hard Ons Exploding white mice The peep temple Lipstick killers The Eastern Dark The powder monkeys The coloured Balls The scientists Psycho surgeons The fun things The sunnyboys Cosmic psychos The visitors The victims Johnny dole & the scabs X ( the Australian X) Razar Good luck, you might find one or two you like
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.
I kick myself for not picking up any Residents. Their covers were so cool. I was going to college at the time so I was on a budget. The Ramones in a small club on the early tours would have been amazing. I was able to see them at the Palladium and Perkins Palace early on. Not small clubs but pretty intimate.
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😎🎶🎵🎼✌👍
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!
In the 70’s music wasn’t classified into all the genres that people now use. It was classic rock or the weird new music. When the Police first came out they were indeed in the Punk section.
I don't remember them ever being in the punk section, not in the UK anyway. Even the couple of punkier tracks on Od'A sound a lot more like The Cars than the Sex Pistols!
@@DadgeCity They were in the US. Any band from the UK with funny haircuts were put in the Punk section. That is until they added a New Wave section. Anyway my definition of Punk is very broad. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. I’m currently doing the top ten albums by year starting with 1965.
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 🍺
Black Flag were involved in a court case and weren't allowed to release and records for almost 3 years. The first press of that album didn't have the logo or the name of the band on the cover. Greg Ginn and I think another member were actually put in jail for releasing that album.
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.
Great list VR. A lot of those records I have too.Loved the original NY CBGB’s bands ( Television, Patti, Ramones, Hell, etc) but struggled with the no wave stuff. I saw Contortions in Philly once , and luckily avoided James Chance wrath. They played a few songs, mayhem happened and that was it. My older bandmates and I took a train from Delaware to NY to see Sid Vicious at the 3rd night at Max’s Kansas City. As a teen and one of my first trips to NY I anxiously/enthusiastically overdid it pre-show pills and booze wise and puked at our table at the packed Max’s halfway through.Punk rock and I’m sure Sid approved but a rookie move on my part. His backup band was Arthur Kane, Jerry Nolan( Dolls -rhythm section) and Steve Dior( Thunders-like). They were great though I wish I remembered more. Spent the night sleeping it off at the train station as we missed the last train back. Young and dumb me for sure.
I would have loved to seen B52s live back in the day. Some of their performances on RUclips are just absolutely nuts. They really give it their all lol
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!!
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.
@@vinylrichie007 I was asked for my autograph in summer 1985 by two girls, they wanted me to sign their t-shirts on the back ! No idea who they thought I was, I had blue hair and looked rather like Marilyn Manson does now 😂 I was phased on acid (yellow microdot) at the time so just wrote STAN but with an anarchy A twice
@@vinylrichie007 Have you done a top 100 coloured vinyl video or similar ? Played all my Dickies singles earlier, paranoid=clear /silent night=white /banana splits=black /nights in white satin=white /fan mail=red...
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.
...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...
@@vinylrichie007 yeah - back in the days you hear your punk records to death before realize a plastic outer sleeve were necessary ;-) if you have the lyric sheet instead the printed inner (like me) the GI is really valuably...
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
@@vinylrichie007 Oh yes it is. My bad. Some many good options for that place. Dead Boys, Wire, Pistols and so many more. Labor of love. Would love to see you doing 80's as well. Thanks for this. Time flies by when I watch these. Ryan Kidd has a great channel. Thanks for the tip!
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
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 ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️
I’ll check it out. I think you are right about the guitars in Tubeway Army. When Gary Numan went solo shortly after Replicas he had no guitars in the band.
When i was a kid there was a skatepark in buena park, ca called skatopia. Behind the counter was a "punk" employee who played that warm leatherette song over and over. My introduction to skate-punk.
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...
@@vinylrichie007 Hey thanks for the response! The Angels (Angel City) are a mid-70's Australian band who did achieve some success in U.S. when they released the album "Face To Face" internationally (as Angel City) in 1980 (which was a comp of songs from their earlier LPs on 'Albert Productions" records). SLF (Stiff Little Fingers) is a punk band out of Ireland formed in late 70's mostly known for "Suspect Device" and "Alternative Ulster" - The LPs "Inflammable Material" and 'Nobody's Hero' are must haves in every collection. Thanks for the GREAT vids!
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.

The Fall is a band I never bought and now they have so many records. I need to dive in and check out Witch Trials.
@@vinylrichie007 Oh yeah, The Ruts are definitely essential too! Some of the most tensely explosive stuff from the UK scene, it's a shame their run was so tragically cut short. The Fall are the epitome of an acquired taste, and the size of their discog is really intimidating, but they are well worth the effort i think. Mark E. Smith had a highly singular vision and unique aesthetic. "Witch Trials" is a good place to start, or maybe the "Early Fall 77-79" comp of early singles.
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.
Musically the Byrds did get back on track but their record sales never recovered.
@@vinylrichie007 For Sure... I am big on Gene, ( Gene Clark). I was in our band, with his son, Kai Clark from 1993 to 2000. I heard a great deal, of Byrds info, and related stuff , first hand, from my friend Carly, (Kai's mom, and Gene's ex wife). I Love the Byrds !! Still great friends with Kai as well... his new record is very good " Silver Raven". Carla Olson, John York, and Byron Berline, play on this one as well. Love your channel, Richie !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 First hand info is so cool. The Byrds are top three 60’s band.
@@vinylrichie007 Agreed... thanks for your reply ! will tune in to your channel soon...
Just found your channel. Good stuff man! Subscribed.
Thanks for watching
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!
I didn’t have The Saints debut when I made this video. I picked up a great copy since. I saw Blondie in 76 at the Whiskey A Go-Go’s. That was my taste. I want the new reissue of the Heartbreakers album. Thanks for the great comment.
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
Thanks for watching. Saw your music room video. Getting everything cleaned out and prepped takes a lot of time.
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
I regret never buying the Residents. I would have included them. When I saw The Damned the punk kids were complaining about the $10 tickets. I remember reading about Robert Smith playing with both bands on tour. How great is that.
@@vinylrichie007 Yeah, great times - Robert Smith looked really exhausted but what a night.
That's a big stack of records...cool response to Ryan's video.
Thanks for watching. I still haven’t put them away.
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
Are those bands from Toronto. I know Toronto had a good Punk scene. I think all my Canadian Punk is from the 80’s.
I became aware of Teenage Head from the VC. I looked Diodes because the name sounded familiar. I know their debut album. I don’t own it but I have heard it. Most surprising to me is that the Battered Wives was released by Bomp Records, the LA label.
Totally Chuck angus was my neighbour and his band L’etranger used to practice in his garage.
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.
This was way longer than I planned. This is my list today. I would hope everyone’s list would be a bit different.
@@vinylrichie007 I think it went just about the right length to talk about so many albums
The Stooges, the cramps, the vibrators, the stranglers, the crass, Patty Smith , devo, damned, the B 52's , ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹
That is a good list.
@@vinylrichie007 saluti dall'Italia 👍
Killer comps man. I want all of those.
I've thought of doing a comp video.
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.
Husker Du, X and Fear didn’t release albums until the 80’s. Next video.
@@vinylrichie007 Yes, I remember now. Thanks.
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
Thanks for watching. I could have sworn the first Plimsouls was from 79.
Great records. I hope to see you at Punk Rock Bowling.
Not any time soon I fear.
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’ve only heard their first album a few times. The two I really want are The Ruts and UK Subs. Thanks for watching.
@@vinylrichie007 Couldnt agree more good sir.. Also the first Outcasts albulm was also a great late 70's albulm.. take care, looking forward to more vids.
@@troybormann550 I don’t think I’ve heard the Outcasts.
@@vinylrichie007 The albulm is called self conscious over you.. check it out if you get a chance, the reissue is available on discogs.. I know after watching your vids my want list goes thru the roof.. They should sponsor your vids. :)
Love baby's on fire especially the version by the Creepers. That was one of my all time fave songs for years and years.
Marc Riley of the Creepers is now a full time DJ on BBC 6 music alternative radio station.
@@marktrickett5081 didn't know that. That's cool
Baby's On Fire is so ahead of its time. I'm not sure I know The Creepers version.
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.
The Police blew up. I don't think their later albums are bad but I purged them. I wasn't going to ever feel the urge to play them. Patti Smith has to be included.
PUNK FOR LIFE..
Thanks for watching
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.
Did I include Iggy and the Stooges? Post Punk = Punk as far as I’m concerned. I never heard anyone in 79 or 80 say “lets go to the post punk show.”
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.
I take that back. I will show my best punk comps.
@@TheWinston7777 I watched the video. Some great stuff but Dr Demento is not the best of the bunch.
@@vinylrichie007 I cant help but love the I'M LOOKING OVER MY DEAD DOG ROVER song. It is more brutal than any black Metal song.
Great video. I lived next door to one of the guitar players from the Cramps. Are you a D.I. fan?
Which one? One of the hot ones? I think D.I. are okay. I only have their first record.
Fantastic selection !
Sods' album "Minutes to go" is such an incredible classic! Great brutal sound production and quality song writing and performance!
I like it.
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!”
Bodies is brutal. The Sex Pistols album is so well produced.
Hey CV check out the movie D.O.A. when the Pistols toured America and you will hear. minus Sid of course, that the Pistols were nailing their album sound.
True. Chris Spedding is the name. And one hell of an artist himself.
Bodies...
Dragged on a table in a factory
illegitimate place to be...

My number one
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
The two 70’s Punk albums that I want are The Ruts and UK Subs. Heroin and sticking a needle in my arm was something I never considered. No way.
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)
I do own some Lime Spiders and Celibate Rifles. I’ve never heard of New Race. I’ll check it out.
@@vinylrichie007 the live New Race album called “the first & the last” is superb, also The New Christ are great, same lead singer as Radio Birdman & New Race,
While I’m here, some other Aussie stuff you should check out if you’ve got a bit of spare listening time
The Hard Ons
Exploding white mice
The peep temple
Lipstick killers
The Eastern Dark
The powder monkeys
The coloured Balls
The scientists

Good luck, you might find one or two you like
Great video. Needs to be more punk on these channels. Not the same boring bs.
I agree. Thanks for watching.
Eddie & the Hot Rods were important in the development of UK Punk and were cited as such by legendary DJ John Peel.
Eddie and the Hots aren't mentioned much but they were there in the very beginning.
FANTASTICS
Thanks but too long.
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.
I kick myself for not picking up any Residents. Their covers were so cool. I was going to college at the time so I was on a budget. The Ramones in a small club on the early tours would have been amazing. I was able to see them at the Palladium and Perkins Palace early on. Not small clubs but pretty intimate.
Crime is another awesome SF band.
Love radio birdman
Thanks for watching
Eddie and the Hot Rods life on the line...you showed a lot of good stuff ..I went fr punk to noise ..Rezillos FabPoodels
I want the other Eddie and the Hot Rods. Thanks for watching. This video was way longer than I wanted.
Great list...have a listen too
Germ free adolescents... x ray spex

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"!
I had never heard Spiral Scratch. Just gave it a listen. What a good 4 song EP. Thanks for the comment.
Great picks
Thanks for watching.
This was great. Any plans for an 80's punk video? Just picked up Anti-Nowhere League I Hate People LP-brutal! Take care.
If I did an 80’s one it could go on for two hours.
@@vinylrichie007 I’d sit thru it. Might have to break it up into a couple of sessions. How about part 1 and part 2?
@@redbeard374 That would be the best option.

Thanks for watching. This was way too long.
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!
In the 70’s music wasn’t classified into all the genres that people now use. It was classic rock or the weird new music. When the Police first came out they were indeed in the Punk section.
I don't remember them ever being in the punk section, not in the UK anyway. Even the couple of punkier tracks on Od'A sound a lot more like The Cars than the Sex Pistols!
@@DadgeCity They were in the US. Any band from the UK with funny haircuts were put in the Punk section. That is until they added a New Wave section. Anyway my definition of Punk is very broad. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. I’m currently doing the top ten albums by year starting with 1965.
I'm enjoying your videos!
The Normal started mute records along with Bruce Gilbert
What a great label.
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 🍺
Black Flag were involved in a court case and weren't allowed to release and records for almost 3 years. The first press of that album didn't have the logo or the name of the band on the cover. Greg Ginn and I think another member were actually put in jail for releasing that album.
@@vinylrichie007 cheers for that Richie👍
I remember them not being allowed to release an album for a while but I didn’t know about the logo and name👍🍺
Great video! One note; Chavo from Black Flag is not Dez. Chavo is Ron Reyes
Yeah, I know. I had a couple of brain farts while filming.
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 Dickies made the list. Thanks for watching.
Sorry I must have missed the Dickies
1 Ramones
2 Pistols
3 Germs
4 Clash USA
5 Crass (!)
Hard to argue with his Top 5
Thanks for watching.
The Heartbreakers have such a 50s influenced sound, I love it
They were so good. If a US record company would have backed them who knows what could have been.
Great list VR. A lot of those records I have too.Loved the original NY CBGB’s bands ( Television, Patti, Ramones, Hell, etc) but struggled with the no wave stuff. I saw Contortions in Philly once , and luckily avoided James Chance wrath. They played a few songs, mayhem happened and that was it. My older bandmates and I took a train from Delaware to NY to see Sid Vicious at the 3rd night at Max’s Kansas City. As a teen and one of my first trips to NY I anxiously/enthusiastically overdid it pre-show pills and booze wise and puked at our table at the packed Max’s halfway through.Punk rock and I’m sure Sid approved but a rookie move on my part. His backup band was Arthur Kane, Jerry Nolan( Dolls -rhythm section) and Steve Dior( Thunders-like). They were great though I wish I remembered more. Spent the night sleeping it off at the train station as we missed the last train back. Young and dumb me for sure.
I would have loved to seen B52s live back in the day. Some of their performances on RUclips are just absolutely nuts. They really give it their all lol
I wish I had seen them to. Such a great band.
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!!
Iggy is quite a specimen himself.
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.
I might not have had the Modern Lovers when I made this video,
Another fascinating video Vinyl BillyIdol 😆 53:00

@@steveqwertyuiop8269 The a lot of the early Dickies records were on colored vinyl.
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.
I love the first four or five Eno albums. I think the ambient stuff is over rated. The Madness albums are so much more than Ska.
...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...
I bought that Germs album when it was released. The plastic outer sleeves are great for preventing ring wear. Viewer 666, yikes.
@@vinylrichie007 yeah - back in the days you hear your punk records to death before realize a plastic outer sleeve were necessary ;-)
if you have the lyric sheet instead the printed inner (like me) the GI is really valuably...
@@mikescott433 I have the printed insert.
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
I will look into the rhino reissue of Marquee Moon. The Germs are my first but I think it is a near tie for first.
@@vinylrichie007 Oh yes it is. My bad. Some many good options for that place. Dead Boys, Wire, Pistols and so many more. Labor of love. Would love to see you doing 80's as well. Thanks for this. Time flies by when I watch these. Ryan Kidd has a great channel. Thanks for the tip!
@@petrirantanen I would live to do an 80’s but it would have to be in two parts. Now that would be long.

Chavo was Ron Reyes not Dez. He was the Black Flag singer in Decline of Westnern Civilization.
Yeah, I know.
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
I considered Flamin Groovies but they didn’t quite make the cut. Thanks for watching.
Liked the list, but no Skids. Are you working for the Yankee Dollar,?
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.
It is a good album all the way through.
The Death album is awesome. I have it filed in rock but could easily file it in punk.
As long as you know where to find it is the only thing that matters.
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 ☮️✌️👽🤘☮️
I’ll check it out. I think you are right about the guitars in Tubeway Army. When Gary Numan went solo shortly after Replicas he had no guitars in the band.
The Normal was Daniel Miller who set up/owned Mute records soon after.
I couldn't remember who it was.
When i was a kid there was a skatepark in buena park, ca called skatopia. Behind the counter was a "punk" employee who played that warm leatherette song over and over. My introduction to skate-punk.

@@vinylrichie007 Hey thanks for the response! The Angels (Angel City) are a mid-70's Australian band who did achieve some success in U.S. when they released the album "Face To Face" internationally (as Angel City) in 1980 (which was a comp of songs from their earlier LPs on 'Albert Productions" records). SLF (Stiff Little Fingers) is a punk band out of Ireland formed in late 70's mostly known for "Suspect Device" and "Alternative Ulster" - The LPs "Inflammable Material" and 'Nobody's Hero' are must haves in every collection. Thanks for the GREAT vids!
@@johngrey1130 I know Stiff Little Fingers
Technically, 1980 is the last (tenth) year of the 70's...so you missed out, not including albums from 1980.
Technically 1980 is the first year of the 80’s.
Wow.. I just listened to “Peaches” by The Stranglers for the first time! Great song about our GA peaches 🍑 !!! Ha
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.
