So, I chose to do a deep dive in Punk. I've started in the most unpunk way possible, I'm going to spend a week with each of the Rolling Stone's top 40 Punk records 40 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time (I'm not even a punk authority and I wonder about some of the things included, more on that in a minute)...
I know Punk is included in the all things rock thread: Rock, Alt-Rock, Indie Rock, Psych Rock, Shoegaze, Punk, Noise Rock, Emocore, etc. , but thought this reaction to the era of Classic rock deserved its own conversation, especially since it would seem sometimes it can be quite contentious what is and isn't punk.
I think I owe all of this to @scotthik and his AOTM: Needles & Grooves AotM///Vol. 32 February 2022/// The Faint - Wet From Birth
I have always skirted around a love of Punk. Fugazi's self-titled and Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death in my collection now are from when I was a kid. I used to have an OG The Clash s/t, but it was damaged irreparably somewhere along the way. I dig the Descendents, Minor Threat, Bad Brains and Black Flag. I followed Henry Rollins' career for a bit in college. I really dig the initial scene that broke Alternative - Nirvana, Sonic Youth, et al. And New Wave is a big thing that I dig. However, I always felt that I had only scratched the surface.
Would be interested in any good books or movies on the subject matter as well.
