We’re not as wound up by Kerrang!’s list of the 50 Greatest Punk Albums (full list after the jump) as we were by Q’s Best Twenty Songs In Twenty Years list from yesterday. But perhaps that’s because we’re simply out of ire. We spent it all. Used it up fuming about missing R.E.M. and Weezer songs and the inescapable omnipresence of Robbie Williams.
Kerrang!’s take on the fifty best punk albums, is however kinda off. We’re missing some incredibly influential punk rock bands here (Hüsker Dü, The Germs, Sleater-Kinney, X-Ray Spex, The Subhumans and about 894 more), pluswhich they’ve included some utter shit (Blink-182, the Offspring,) and they got the hierarchy all wrong on the records they did select (Green Day up top with Bad Brains; The Clash, The Stooges, and um, everybody else besides the Sex Pistols trailing?) Also: Why the fuck isn’t X on this list!? Okay the ire’s back.
What would you do with this list?
