Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll: Social Distortion
First to recommend
Description
The latest offering from Social D sees them putting out more of the crankin' country punk that we love them for. Possibly a touch closer to straight rock'n'roll than previous efforts, they've lost none of their energy with age though. Very solid offering with plenty of catchy songs. Good album for driving around with the top down on a summer day.

Live at the Roxy: Social Distortion
First to recommend
Description
It's pretty rare for me to replace the album cut of a song with a live one on my playlists, but the live version of "Mommy's Little Monster" is definitely the best version of this song committed to tape, in my opinion. This album is full of great live gems, and a terrific album to get you going. Amazing energy and a lot of fun.

Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell: Social Distortion
First to recommend
Description
This is the first Social D record I ever heard. From the opening strains of "Cold Feelings" I was hooked. Terrifically energetic punk, infused with a Johnny Cash sensibility. Some good things did come out of the 80s. (Bruce Springsteen said this was his favorite album of the year btw)

Social Distortion: Social Distortion
First to recommend
Description
The third album from OC punk pioneers sees them cranking out more good Clash via Johnny Cash tunes. And speaking of Cash, there's a cover of "Ring of Fire" on here. Personal favorites "Sick Boy", "Story of My Life" (yes, that would be one of my ringtones), and "Ball & Chain". Tons of raw energy here. I always find Social D to be good when I need to get pumped up.

13 Songs: Fugazi
First to recommend
Description
Punk is not dead. Fugazi still carries the torch of great, aggressive punk rock. A bit more than just three chords and some attitude, they take punk and made it grow up a little and learn to play their instruments. Love the bass lines, and the whole thing just rocks. Good album for getting your energy up.

The Clash (U.K. Version) - The Clash
3 people recommended this item
Description
If you only own two Clash albums, this and London Calling should be it. The raw energy on this album is infectious. Talk about the spirit of '77. From Joe Strummer spitting out "White Riot" to the greatest cover ever "I Fought the Law". Yet almost every song on here could be a single. Actually, most of them were, since originally most of them were released as singles, and then compiled to make the album itself. I find it more coherent and lasting than Anarchy in the UK and many other seminal punk albums, this is a must-have.

Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols: The Sex Pistols
First to recommend
Description
The original punk statement. Never Mind the Bollocks is aggressive, and in your face. It is worth noting that Sid Vicious, who could not play his bass guitar to save his life, did not actually play on the album, but replaced Glen Matlock. Either way, they were a force of nature, and that force was anarchy, in the UK and elsewhere.

We're A Happy Family - A Tribute To The Ramones: Various Artists
First to recommend
Description
The Ramones are one of the great punk bands. They proved that all you need is three chords and crazy energy to make some great music. A huge array of artists turn in their takes on classic Ramones songs for this compilation. From U2 (who I'm sad to say have a pretty mediocre track) to Rancid, Pete Yorn to Tom Waits, Garbage to Marilyn Manson.

The Gossip - Standing In the Way of Control
First to recommend
Description
Great, great album. Beth Ditto is a powerful singer with a great voice, even when she's completely in your face. Tons of energy in killer songs. Some songs sit somewhere between aggressive and dance-friendly, while others are more garage-rock. Smart lyrics don't shy away from bold statements either.
