i was thinking of putting sunny day into my list but i didnt really ever think of them as fully "punk rock". still one of the big albums in my musical life.

and yes, you should have added the descendents somewhere in there

More like not even close to punk

I do however love every album you just named...

As for the op..I'm not a big punk fan..but I do enjoy your #1 and 2 choices

Haha - yeah, i was a little reluctant to add them to a 'punk-rock' top 5- but they drew upon what Rites of Spring did back in the 80's, and I

Yes i Love the Misfits, However There are so many albums I cant even think off the top of my Head. Some of the Favorite Tunes are, Were eagles dare, Violent world, Hate breeders Astro zombies.

Toxic Narcotic yes, They have been around for over 20 years now. They were one of the first bands I ever saw. I believe the show was at the Rat, Was Dropkick Murphys, The Bruisers, Anti Hero's, Toxic Narcotic, The Freeze and Gang Green.

1. Black Flag - Damaged
2. Dead Kenndeys - Plastic surgery disaster/ In god we trust
3. Choking Victim - No gods no managers
4. Minor Threat- Out of Step
5. Toxic Narcotic - We're all doomed

Your first, second and fourth choices all came to my mind before I even opened the thread. Black Flag and the DKs were awesome bands. For some reason I liked the later stuff by the DK's like Frankenchrist and Bedtime for Democracy.
I can't remember the album names since all my punk was on cassettes but the other bands I'd have to throw in would be Angry Samoans, MDC and Early Killing Joke.

How could I forget Bad Brains!!?

MDC and Bad Brains great choices too, Still cant believe MDC is still playing after all these years, sorta like the circle jerks still kicking.

Some bands are tough to pigeonhole- Do The Supersuckers count as punk? In spirit for sure.
Dropkick Murphys- Fear- Rancid- yeah, The Misfits- Of course The Pistols and The Clash.
And how could I not include The Ramones?
