Considering I was a huge lover of punk for many years (starting in about 1978), I could only think of eight albums I'd bother listening to now. And they are:
The Clash - The Clash
Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters
Black Flag - Damaged
MDC - Millions of Dead Cops
Circle Jerks - Wild In The Streets
Husker Du - New Day Rising
Wire - Pink Flag
Ramones - Ramones
There are many albums and bands I love which have been mentioned here, but they're not punk: Big Black, London Calling, Gun Club, Suicide, Cramps etc.
And many bands mentioned who I don't love and are not punk: Stooges, New York Dolls, Patti Smith etc.
