Top 10 UK Punk Albums

[@e-r1955]

I'm glad you put G.B.H on the list Cheers from Sweden.

[@vinylrichie007]

GBH were one of my favorite 80's bands. They were always great live with the exception of one show I saw. It turns out the drummer was strung out on heroin and the band dumped him soon afterwards. Thanks for watching.

[@MarkLasthand]

GBH are very high on this list. Which is fine.

[@johnnylast4350]

Great picks as usual. Good call on the Disorder EP. The Stranglers first album doesn't get enough love. Where the Ramones first 3 albums might've made me wanna play the bass, the Stranglers first 3 albums pushed me to actually learn how to play the bass. I know you said you don't have any Discharge Lps which is a shame cause Hear Nothing Say Nothing belongs on the list for sure.

[@vinylrichie007]

I do have Hear Nothing Say Nothing on CD. I will get a copy eventually. Thanks for watching.

Brilliant choices mate. Do you have any Crass albums by any chance ? They’re one of my favourite bands ever.

Aloha Vinyl Richie, thank you for sharing your top 10 UK Punk record albums. Watching your video brought back memories of punk record albums that I had in the late 1970s, I enjoyed the Buzzcocks, The Damned, Dead Kennedys, The Clash, the stranglers, and definitely the Sex Pistols. Thank you again for a great video, Aloha

[@vinylrichie007]

The Damned almost made my list.

Hey Richie, thanks for another short enjoyable video. I definitely are going to check out The English Dogs! But you forgot 2 of my favourite U.K punk bands; Buzzcocks & Damned! They would surely rank on my Top 10 list of UK punk bands. Would be fun to hear your oppinion on these 2 great bands.

Only 10 bands can make my top 10. I think The Exploited my have made the 11-20 video. I used to have the first Skrewdriver album but it is one that went missing.

[@rafdrepublic]

@@vinylrichie007 ok. your channel = your choices ;-) I see we have different preferences for punk music. I am looking forward you present top 10 from Polish punk ;-) in case you have something in your collection. The time when punk was very popular was not so welcomed in Poland by communist government. So there almost no records or official recording (like LP). But one band maybe you know. here one recording: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmre6yCpbuapdk and here what was released outside Poland ( LP "Underground out of Poland"). One song here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqrbYWaorc-Fha8 The name of the band: Dezeter. The album was released in US (www.discogs.com/Dezerter-Underground-Out-Of-Poland/release/1750543 ), that's why for you might be easier to buy. Second famous band was : Siekiera : kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKKZlWxopKuAiMk (so there will be repress for this: www.discogs.com/Siekiera-Jarocin-84/master/1886106 ). For me the third will be Defekt Mózgu - here with old vocalist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooupe4Gbet6IqtE But maybe one of the oldest punk bands in Poland is KSU : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYikdKCgeLKWZq8 (they issues LP after few years. here full album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ql7PZHusiLqfetk) To summarize the best 5 I can add Moskwa : kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKK3oIabdt-Crrc I do not know much about US punk, but from my observation all bands I heard have different style than the one I prefer. I like a lot British and French bands (also Oi/Rac style).

My original punk collection was mainly the hardcore stuff from the UK in the early 80s, I was slightly too young for the original punks from the late 70s, although i did back track to that stuff later on. My faves from my original collectio would be more the anarcho-punk bands like Subhumans, Crass and Flux Of Pink Indians. I also did have that Rudimentry Peni "Death Church" album. GBH were probably my fave Hardcore band with Chaotic Discord not far behind and Exploited's first album also a firm fave.

[@RandallWeaver]

Hey Vinyl Richie - I wonder if the title for the first English Dogs record you showed is a play on Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen? Probably yes. I thought I used to listen to some punk music, but I am unfamiliar with half the bands you showed. I couldn't even do a top 10 response - I don't have 10 UK Punk albums. Agree on Sex Pistols #1. I would include Buzzcocks Different Kind of Tension but maybe that's pop music. Thanks for the list. ~ Randy

Two that should DEFINITELY be in the top 10 are The Ruts The Crack and Leatherface Mush.

I was listening to the UK version of the Clash debut a few hours ago; I moved my stereo and changed cables, and it’s an album that I know how it should sound. Love the opening track - I consider Janie Jones one of the best debut album A1s ever. Different track on A1 of the US version I think, but I don’t own it. I do define Unknown Pleasures as post punk (I’m a wanker). Punk is a broad term though, and I wouldn’t argue with calling it punk. Or maybe I would. I need a beer. Cheers! Tom

I like to joke around about too many genres. Let me just say, no one back then ever said, "Let's go to the Post Punk show."

[@highrantdistrict]

@@vinylrichie007 Great point. And as for too many genres... also a great point.

There was a Tom Hanks movie "Road to Perdition". Post Punk! - Chris

My knowledge of punk music starts and ends with Chipmunk Punk.

[@vinylrichie007]

They just missed making the list.

[@perverseosmosis9799]

Every album is Chipmunk punk if you play it at 78rpm. Love the reference and the video as always.

[@dannymoulton4829]

You don't own the UK Clash debut, arguably the greatest punk album? That's ridiculous! Don't put them together, the debut is perfect as it is!

[@vinylrichie007]

I do have a copy now but I wouldn’t say not owning it is ridiculous. I think a CD of the UK version with the extra songs as bonus material is a good idea.

[@Morphstock]

Mad Punx And English Dogs is the best punk EP ever

[@vinylrichie007]

It is in my top 5. I love it. The more I think about it, it could be my number 1.

[@lumpenproletarier9584]

Nice picks, even though there is a lack of conflict and partisans albums.

[@vinylrichie007]

Stay tuned.

[@festersuncle6298]

Re your list: The Clash UK on Drastic Plastic is cheap and sounds great. Warsaw (pre Joy Division) is punkier than Unknown Pleasures. I know "punkier" is not very punk....

[@vinylrichie007]

I need to track down a copy of the UK Clash album.

I feel the same about X-ray Spex. Vocals are unbearable.

[@radzo1675]

@@vinylrichie007 Yeah leave the sax to the Ska bands.

[@pervangtoft2184]

Sex Pistols, Joy Division and Clash obviously. Stranglers borderline and the rest of your picks are very marginal punk or even more like Skin Head music. Where are The Damned, Siousxsie and the Banshees, The Jam, The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Vibrators and of course X-Ray Spex, who you confess to not liking. I was lucky enough to get to see all these bands in Europe in the late 70`ties, and of course you have a different view on these as an american, but I must disagree with many of your choices and especially that you don`t get the greatness of X-Ray Spex and the wonderful voice of the late and very missed Polly Styrene. Greetings from an old punk from Denmark.

[@vinylrichie007]

Most of the bands you mentioned I like. Of them all The Stranglers debut probably should have made the list. Same for The Ramones. Siousxsie and the Banshees are right on the border for me. I listened to The Crewd last night. An obscure band from Long Beach that played around Southern California. I was questioning if they should have been my number 20 considering how many great albums were left off. My conclusion they should have been higher. Fantastic stuff. It all comes down to individual taste but I don’t think any of the picks I made a marginal Punk.

[@vinylrichie007]

Sorry mate. I answered your comment on my phone and just assumed you were commenting on my latest video. So my response makes no sense. I am a dumb ass. Thanks for watching and I would like you to watch my latest video on 20 Top Punk Albums. I’m sure we won’t agree but that is fine. Take care. I’m subbing you and looking forward to your first video. It is quite fun.
