One of the albums from Jeff Rosenstock's solo career or one of his bands (especially b.t.m.i!) deserve a shout, with my favorite being Vacation by btmi, but you composed a good list. Hadn't heard about "Destruction by Definition", will give it a listen.
90’s was fun but the OG’s need their due. Suicidal Tendencies, The Dammed, The Clash so on and so on. Social Distortion should always be included in a list like this.
I'm including all sub-genres of punk under this category, that's your PSA before anyone wants to give me the "that's not punk! crap. So, my top #5 #5: Siren Song of the Counter Culture - Rise Against #4: All Killer, No Filler - Sum 41 #3: Riot! - Paramore #2: Dookie - Green Day #1: ...And Out Come the Wolves - Rancid Honorable mentions Spiritual Cramp - Spiritual Cramp Ribbed - NOFX Enema of the State - Blink-182 Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard Live Fast Diarrea - The Vandals Ixnay on the Hombre - The Offspring Ramones - Ramones
Rancid-Out Come The Wolves, Convince Russian Jawbreaker, Social Distortion - Somewhere between Heaven and hell, Screeching Weasel -Anthem for a new tomorrow, Nofx Punk in Drublic, Op Ivy Energy. X- Welcome to the new world
I grew up as a little kid in England in the original punk explosion 💥 but here are my top 5 punk albums 1. Dead Kennedys - in god we trust/ plastic surgery..... 2 . Sex Pistols - never mind the bollocks 3. Buzzcocks - singles going steady (ok a complication but essential) 4. Sublime - 40 oz..... ( Yea i love controversy!!) 5. Specials - first
90s punk rock gets a lot of shit for some reason. Older fans claiming “its not really punk” is complete nonsense. All that happened was audience tastes changed and it became accepted by mainstream media which meant those bands got their songs on the radio. 2/3 years prior to Dookie and Smash those same bands were all playing in underground clubs to 10 people or less putting out music DIY and writing the same music that no one wanted to hear. They didn’t sell out or change their music just got popular.
At the same time commercial success comes at a price. Green day is a good band but punk rock mba calls the blink 183 album the best punk album just goes too far.
Dude thanks for putting up this video. Somewhat I agree and somewhat I disagree but good video about punk albums. There are elite punkers who would be mad but a lot of these bands changed punk in a good way. I like how you discuss about your experience because that’s what’s it’s all about… going through the experience. Very cool tho Chester Cat is way better than their 2003 album. I love Rancid tho Let’s Go is top for me. NOFX on point but my number 2 punk album. Suicide Machines are so dope and that album is my number 3 punk album. I want to make a best punk albums and I’ll let you know when that’s done. Cheers!
1 hear nothing see nothing - Discharge 2. we are the league - anti nowhere league 3. city baby attacked by rats - GBH 4 Plastic surgery disasters - Dead Kennedys 5 the clash - the clash
Lots of these lists I can't relate to at all...but this one is close to my tastes! I would have NOFX - punk I'm drublic Lagwagon -Double Plaidnium Rancid-out come the wolves Off With Their Heads - Home Green Day - Dookie. Tough list to come up with tho... Great vid!
These are my Top 10 PunkRock Albums of the 1990s: 1990s: 1. Rancid- And Out Come the Wolves (1995) 2. Bad Religion- Stranger Than Fiction (1994) 3. NOFX- Punk in Drublic (1994) 4. Green Day- Dookie (1994) 5. Face to Face- Self-Titled (1996) 6. Offspring- Smash (1994) 7. Rancid- Let’s Go (1994) 8. Blink-182 - Enema of the State (1999) 9. Pennywise- About Time (1995) 10. Social Distortion- Self-Titled (1990) 11. Schleprock- (America’s) Dirty Little Secret (1996)
90s best maybe. Not THE best. Apologies. Yes, we all have our tops. I would start in the 60s with The Sonics and work my way up with at least one backward nod to Link Wray.
My all time top 3 would be The Clash’s 1st album (American version) The Ruts ‘The Crack’ and the Bad Brains first album which for years you could only get on cassette. After that maybe The Angry Samoans Back from Samoa which is arguably the snottiest punk record ever and maybe one or the other of the Stranglers first LP’s Rattus Norvegicus or No more heroes. They’re both great.
My friend , I couldn’t of picked a better 5 if I tried . Fantastic pics ….. but ……. I would of picked Let’s Go !! Maybe I think Might of 🤷🏻♂️ Oh I don’t know ….. lol amazing choices. Take care
Let’s go is a damn good album! I initially considered it, but I think Wolves is a little more influential (mainly because of its huge mainstream success), and I love the evolution of their sound on Life along Wait (mixing in more ska and reggae).
Like I said in the video, without Energy we probably don't get all of those great '90s and early 2000s punk bands. IMO it's one of the most influential punk albums of all time, and it's amazing to think Op Ivy only existed for about two years. I'll keep my opinion about The Sex Pistols to myself. 😂
Rich Kids on LSD - Rock and Roll Nightmare. my fav Bad Brains - Rock for Light. great gas station music if your working Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime my fav is Three Way Tie for Last Bargain Music - The Magic is over its not really punk rock Strung Out - the element of sonic defiance never mentioned A.F.I - Very Proud of Ya i swear they used to be punk Bad Religion - No Control Suffer is a close second for me i appreciate the suggestions i grew up kinda poor in a mountain town by Santa Cruz Ca had friends into Good Riddance and Lagwagon but they never hit me, got a friend in Craig's Brother. Black Flag and Henry Rollins albums i enjoyed. 88 Fingers Louie the first 2 Slightly Stoopid you might skip some songs. all i can remember from the 90s my music collection is in storage currently.
FUCK YES SUICIDE MACHINES!!!!! I only just got that album in my collection a few months back. I like the 2nd album they did as well as everything from 2005-onwards. But that first album is fucking amazing
Battle Hymns, self-titled, & Revolution Spring are all really good albums, but Destruction By Definition is incredible. I still remember hearing it for the first time a year or so after it was released and instantly being hooked on it.
Great list. How could you not have The Sex Pistols in your top five?!? JUST KIDDING!!!! I would put Sex Pistols, The Clash London Calling, The Cramps self titled, The Misfits Static Age and Ramones Mania in my top 5. I am definitely going to check out Get Dead Dancing With the Curse.
To stop myself from sounding like a gatekeeping a** I try my best not to discuss The Sex Pistols. 😂 I think Static Age would be more highly regarded by the masses had it been released in the late '70s when it was recorded, and not in the mid '90s. I also think the Misfits would have had more sustained success in their early career (and possibly not broken up when they did) had it been released.
Go back and listen to more punk bands from the 70s and 80s. There is no way youve heard much from that era of punk. Putting Blink 182 on it voidz your entire list and you had a couple decent picks. I mean seriously, Blink 182 belong to worst of list. It sounds like music for toddlers with bad taste.
Somehow it is not fashionable to be negative about blink 182 but they were so commercial. All edges of punk were removed and they sound closer to weezer than to the circle jerks. They are a very watered down version of punk and their best song all the small things isnt even that good, the middle is the same song but better.
True, but ‘90s ska punk was very different than most of the late ‘70s and ‘80s ska. It was more of a punk with a splash of ska kind of sound. The ‘90s sound definitely had roots in the ‘70s and ‘80s, but no where close to the mainstream success that those bands did in the ‘90s.
@@TheVinylDen thanks for the response, yeah that’s true, but that coincided with the rise of pop punk, which was accessible to the masses and the bounce of ska increased that accessibility in the mainstream… Sublime, Reel big fish, mighty mighty bosstones, Goldfinger. Also, punk adjacent bands like Nirvana opened the door into the legit mainstream… Green Day and Offspring getting huge, Bad Religion signing to a major, Rancid on SNL. To be clear, not trying to argue, just kinda connected to your experience as similar to mine and sharing my perspective.
@@TheSqeela When considering what I think are the best I look at other factors outside of personal preference (which I can’t deny does factor in, but not as much as some would think). I also take into account quality of recording, influence, sales/chart position, & mainstream success. It’s definitely not a science, but I try to separate personal feelings from what I consider the best. TBH of these top 5, only 2 (maybe 3) would be in my favorite top 5. I try to be as objective as possible.
Shame 69 ! The boomtown rats first album the Skids , scared to dance ! The clash , the ruts ! Not big fan of American 90s punk ? Ramones definitely the best thing to come out of America Paul Dublin 🏴☠️🇨🇮
You are self-admittedly a second generation punker. Your omission of Never Mind the Bollocks, Young Loud and Snotty and the debut album by the Clash is just wrong. Also, IMO, American Idiot is a better album than Dookie. Although I like that album too.
American Idiot is a good, but IMO it’s just not a punk album. Green Day’s last real punk album was probably Insomniac. As for the Sex Pistols, they were the ‘70s punk version of the Backstreet Boys. They were a fake band put together so Malcolm McLaren could sell clothing. Yes Bollocks ended up being an influential album, but I just don’t think it’s as good as people make it out to be. The Spunk demos are far better than what’s on Bollocks.

No rancid?😢
@@muditsingh5686 I do love older Rancid. Out Come The Wolves would be in my top 100
FLIPPER UNITES.
Just listened to Walk Among Us last weekend at full volume last weekend. Absolutely satisfying.
My top ten:
1. Nevermind - nirvana
2. Smash - offspring
3. And out come the wolves - rancid
4. 1977 - ash
5. Dookie - greenday
6. Unknown pleasures - joy division
7. London calling - the clash
8. Ramones self titled

Enema of the State - Blink-182
Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard
Live Fast Diarrea - The Vandals
Ixnay on the Hombre - The Offspring

I can’t argue with anything on your list. Siren Song is a great pick but I give a slight edge to The Sufferer & the Witness.
Rancid-Out Come The Wolves, Convince Russian Jawbreaker, Social Distortion - Somewhere between Heaven and hell, Screeching Weasel -Anthem for a new tomorrow, Nofx Punk in Drublic, Op Ivy Energy. X- Welcome to the new world
I grew up as a little kid in England in the original punk explosion 💥 but here are my top 5 punk albums
1. Dead Kennedys - in god we trust/ plastic surgery.....
2 . Sex Pistols - never mind the bollocks
3. Buzzcocks - singles going steady (ok a complication but essential)
4. Sublime - 40 oz..... ( Yea i love controversy!!)
5. Specials - first
Let’s go isn’t close to Wolves. Rancid on Saturday Night Live that year was Iconic. Huge moment in the growth of punk in the nineties
90s punk rock gets a lot of shit for some reason. Older fans claiming “its not really punk” is complete nonsense. All that happened was audience tastes changed and it became accepted by mainstream media which meant those bands got their songs on the radio. 2/3 years prior to Dookie and Smash those same bands were all playing in underground clubs to 10 people or less putting out music DIY and writing the same music that no one wanted to hear.

At the same time commercial success comes at a price. Green day is a good band but punk rock mba calls the blink 183 album the best punk album just goes too far.
Saw Get Dead at the final NOFX show in the UK. Really good live.
1 never mind the bollocks…2. The clash debut…3 nobody’s heroes stiff little fingers. 4 the damned debut…5…dead Kennedy’s. Fresh fruit….
nice SLF pick. Not as incendiary as their debut but more melodic and terrific too.

My best punk albums of all time is up on my channel. Check it out and let me know what you think,
I was never the biggest Blink 182. But I can't deny they were pretty solid song writers and did get a lot of younger people into punk rock.
I'd say. The Muffs-Blonder and Blonder, MXPX-Life In General, NOFX-Heavy Petting Zoo, Offspring-Smash, Green Day- Insomniac
Interesting that you would pick Heavy Petting Zoo. I think it gets overlooked because of how great some of their other ‘90s albums were.
@@TheVinylDen it was my entry to Nofx and it just is great in my ears opinion.
1 hear nothing see nothing - Discharge
2. we are the league - anti nowhere league
3. city baby attacked by rats - GBH
4 Plastic surgery disasters - Dead Kennedys
5 the clash - the clash
Lots of these lists I can't relate to at all...but this one is close to my tastes! I would have
NOFX - punk I'm drublic
Lagwagon -Double Plaidnium
Rancid-out come the wolves
Off With Their Heads - Home
Green Day - Dookie.
Tough list to come up with tho...
Great vid!
Lagwagon is a very underrated band! I love their Bad Astronaut side project also.
The Damned, Busscocks The Undertones , Stranglers Sex Pistols. These Are the First punk bands who started the punk era✌🏼😉
These are my Top 10 PunkRock Albums of the 1990s:
1990s:
1. Rancid- And Out Come the Wolves (1995)
2. Bad Religion- Stranger Than Fiction (1994)
3. NOFX- Punk in Drublic (1994)
4. Green Day- Dookie (1994)
5. Face to Face- Self-Titled (1996)
6. Offspring- Smash (1994)
7. Rancid- Let’s Go (1994)
8. Blink-182 - Enema of the State (1999)
9. Pennywise- About Time (1995)
10. Social Distortion- Self-Titled (1990)
11. Schleprock- (America’s) Dirty Little Secret (1996)
90s best maybe. Not THE best. Apologies. Yes, we all have our tops. I would start in the 60s with The Sonics and work my way up with at least one backward nod to Link Wray.
My all time top 3 would be The Clash’s 1st album (American version) The Ruts ‘The Crack’ and the Bad Brains first album which for years you could only get on cassette. After that maybe The Angry Samoans Back from Samoa which is arguably the snottiest punk record ever and maybe one or the other of the Stranglers first LP’s Rattus Norvegicus or No more heroes. They’re both great.
Also Stiff Little Fingers Inflammable Material.
SLF is very underrated!
Please listen to vanilla muffins great band, pretty unknown bc short career but very nice
My friend , I couldn’t of picked a better 5 if I tried . Fantastic pics ….. but ……. I would of picked Let’s Go !!
Maybe
I think
Might of
🤷🏻♂️
Oh I don’t know ….. lol amazing choices. Take care
Let’s go is a damn good album! I initially considered it, but I think Wolves is a little more influential (mainly because of its huge mainstream success), and I love the evolution of their sound on Life along Wait (mixing in more ska and reggae).
All skrewed up
How so?
I'm not a huge punk fan but my top two would have to be Never Mind the Bollocks and Energy.
Like I said in the video, without Energy we probably don't get all of those great '90s and early 2000s punk bands. IMO it's one of the most influential punk albums of all time, and it's amazing to think Op Ivy only existed for about two years.
I'll keep my opinion about The Sex Pistols to myself. 😂
Rich Kids on LSD - Rock and Roll Nightmare. my fav
Bad Brains - Rock for Light. great gas station music if your working
Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime my fav is Three Way Tie for Last
Bargain Music - The Magic is over its not really punk rock
Strung Out - the element of sonic defiance never mentioned
A.F.I - Very Proud of Ya i swear they used to be punk
Bad Religion - No Control Suffer is a close second for me
i appreciate the suggestions i grew up kinda poor in a mountain town by Santa Cruz Ca had friends into Good Riddance and Lagwagon but they never hit me, got a friend in Craig's Brother.
Black Flag and Henry Rollins albums i enjoyed. 88 Fingers Louie the first 2 Slightly Stoopid you might skip some songs. all i can remember from the 90s my music collection is in storage currently.
FUCK YES SUICIDE MACHINES!!!!! I only just got that album in my collection a few months back. I like the 2nd album they did as well as everything from 2005-onwards. But that first album is fucking amazing
Battle Hymns, self-titled, & Revolution Spring are all really good albums, but Destruction By Definition is incredible. I still remember hearing it for the first time a year or so after it was released and instantly being hooked on it.
Great list. How could you not have The Sex Pistols in your top five?!? JUST KIDDING!!!! I would put Sex Pistols, The Clash London Calling, The Cramps self titled, The Misfits Static Age and Ramones Mania in my top 5. I am definitely going to check out Get Dead Dancing With the Curse.
To stop myself from sounding like a gatekeeping a** I try my best not to discuss The Sex Pistols. 😂
I think Static Age would be more highly regarded by the masses had it been released in the late '70s when it was recorded, and not in the mid '90s. I also think the Misfits would have had more sustained success in their early career (and possibly not broken up when they did) had it been released.
Rancid! I'm not complaining 😅! I respect your list!
PROPAGANDHI….How to Clean Everything? One of the most underrated punk albums of all time. No way Rancid’s ‘Out Come the Wolves’ beats that.
Go back and listen to more punk bands from the 70s and 80s. There is no way youve heard much from that era of punk. Putting Blink 182 on it voidz your entire list and you had a couple decent picks. I mean seriously, Blink 182 belong to worst of list. It sounds like music for toddlers with bad taste.
I've listened to a lot of '70s and '80s punk, and I stand by my list.
Somehow it is not fashionable to be negative about blink 182 but they were so commercial. All edges of punk were removed and they sound closer to weezer than to the circle jerks. They are a very watered down version of punk and their best song all the small things isnt even that good, the middle is the same song but better.
Bro, saying punk got introduced to ska in the nineties is a rough take. 2 Tone, the Clash, You even mentioned Op Ivy… that was the eighties.
Liked the video though man, I bet we’re the same age 😂

Also, punk adjacent bands like Nirvana opened the door into the legit mainstream… Green Day and Offspring getting huge, Bad Religion signing to a major, Rancid on SNL.
To be clear, not trying to argue, just kinda connected to your experience as similar to mine and sharing my perspective.
Looks like your into the more commercial and popular bands.
I wouldn’t exactly call Get Dead, The Suicide Machines, and NOFX commercial or “popular”.
For 'Best', read: 'My Favourite'.
No, these definitely aren’t my 5 favorite punk albums, but I think they are the best.
@@TheVinylDen Can you explain the difference?
@@TheSqeela When considering what I think are the best I look at other factors outside of personal preference (which I can’t deny does factor in, but not as much as some would think).

Ruts rule and their Complete Peel Sessions is even better than The Crack.
Minor Threat!!!!!! Ever hear of them?????
Yep
5 Honour ables , why not just make it your Top Ten Punk Albums
It was hard enough to just make a top 5. Even with having 5 honorable mentions there were several others that I initially considered for the top 5.
Yeah I collect cds
So do I
Great list but Sex Pistols has to be on it
