Easily one of the most irritating best punk albums lists I’ve ever seen.
I am a huge Wire, Gang of Four, X fan but jesus christ, if you’re putting them in the top 10 alongside Patti Smith, the Stooges and the New York Dolls while the Dead Kennedys and DRI are buried at the bottom, just say it. You’re making an art punk/protopunk/post punk canon list, not a real punk rock top 100.
As a general punk ranking this feels extremely NYC-critic brain.
And I’m saying this as someone who actually listen to most of the stuff Rolling Stone is pushing here.
Seeing DR in that list is so strange! But I love it haha
