I am wanting to listen to punk music to get a feel for the genre, and I was wondering if there are any albums that anyone would consider "essential"
Punk Essentials?

punk is great if you love the whole anti establishment thing and hate capitalism. it's like the nihilistic outcry against the fascist corporate takeover. anyways, here are some album I consider 'essential'.

Aiden King
if they hadn't had a springsteen/50s r&r horn section that got them mistaken for 90s skapunk, they wouldve been the biggest altrock band of the 90s. bigger than weezer and foo fighters.

middle class is 70s punk band. they kind of predicted the whole hardcore thing. their later LP is a staple of postpunk
youtube.com
rocket from the tombs. godfathers of the cleveland scene.
youtube.com
pere ubu. another cleveland band, but these guys were the more artsy side of it. a couple members from rocket from the tombs
youtube.com
big boys. austin TX punk band. one of my favorites ever. sometimes arguably not even a punk band. but theyre intense
youtube.com
minutemen. so called sister band of the big boys. funky and techy as fuck
youtube.com
wires first album basically predicts every major direction that punk rock was going to go over the next few decades.
youtube.com
husker dus first album is fucking relentless. those boys ate a lot of amphetamine at this point and it shows.
youtube.com
angry samoans are just dumb, offensive punk rock. fuckin great
youtube.com
gotta love the damned. they dressed like vampires, so goth rock fags are all about em. but the music is just plain old awesome punk rock
youtube.com
newer punk band from indiana. they dont play anymore, but when i played with them i lost my shit. the band leader has a new band called CCTV thats even better in my opinion.
youtube.com
youtube.com
hank wood and the hammerheads. another newer punk band you should definitely go see while theyre still around. use to play with these guys all the time, they were tons of fun. great dudes to let sleep on your floor. then they went and got uber famous and tour the world now. im stoked for em. great guys, and they work really hard
Juan Cooper
rocket from the crypt's output blows rocket from the tombs away.
saying rocket from the tombs is better than rocket from the crypt is like saying jan and dean is better than the beach boys.
Ian Robinson
of course none of this shit is "essential". but theyre all cool bands that i never see gettin any love on Sup Forums
Jordan Perry
did rocket from the crypts bring punk rock to the desolate, barren, industrial wasteland that is cleveland in the early 70s, and ultimately inspire decades of solid ass punk rock in the general area, thus securing cleveland as a city where you can still go see a solid punk rock multiple times a week? thought not...

rocket from the crypt, john reis in particular, has inspired more bands music than rocket from the tombs. you could say the dead boys or pere ubu influenced many bands or were essential. op asked for essential "albums" which rocket from the tombs doesnt have.
Easton Roberts
meh i just gotta start bitching when you tell me some fucking shitty ska band is better than my favorite shitty punk rock band. i fucking cant stand rocket from the crypts, and i wish i could. one of my buddies tried to show me em way back when and i hated it. cant really see me getting into em now either.
and as far as the midwest/cleveland scene goes, rocket from the tombs is way more "essential" to folks around there. you can still hear their influence in bands around there today.
like i said, i wasnt trying to give him "essentials", i was just trying to signalboost some bands i dont see getting talked about a whole lot on here. i havent been on Sup Forums in a couple years, but i remember how awful the punk rock threads were back in like 2011/12. its like no one on the whole site listened to punk. glad to see it turning around, atleast in that respect
Adam Kelly
thanks for putting the time into this - minutemen aside these are all new to me.
Easton Cox
There's an embarrassing lack of Fear - The Record and Fuck World Trade. Also, y'all may hate me but The Stooges were OG punk. So give Fun House a spin.
Jonathan Watson
Make sure to check out the Screamers, they get overlooked because they have no studio albums.
122 Hours of Fear is the tits.
Samuel Anderson
Although this album is mostly forgotten, one should give this a listen. The lead singer/guitar player not only started Twin-Tone records, which gave the world Soul Asylum and The Replacements, he was also Bob Mould's guitar teacher. Don't know who Bob Mould is? Check out post , and pay close attention to the Husker Du video.
Sorry but you lost me at Bikini Kill, and London Calling. Other then that 98% of the videos you posted are top rate.
Grayson Nguyen
Another band that's almost been forgotten, but also essential.
The age range goes from 12-15 years of age when they were together back in 1977, but they're just as essential and important as all the well known bands at the time.
Matthew Taylor
These Aussies played a very important roll in the 1977 punk scene. Some music newspaper in England called the title track single "The single of the week, and every week". They had two more albums after that, but they didn't quite sound like this one, and were forgotten. I never heard the third album, but the second one, Eternally Yours is just as good as I'm Stranded, although a bit different. This album is a winner from start to finish.
Benjamin White
Imagine if Syd Barrett actually stayed with Pink Floyd, and they decided to jump on the punk band wagon. It's something like that but 1000x better! This is the band that gave the world Robyn Hitchcock. Their next two albums, Underwater Moonlight, and Invisible Hits would take on a more decidedly psychedelic power pop feel but still retaining a punk sensibility. Even The Circle Jerks covered I Wanna Destroy you, but A Can of Bees is their most punk album. Forget the Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd reference! Forget what Robyn Hitchcock became. Listen to this record and judge for yourself.
Sebastian Parker
If you like Eater, you might enjoy this band as well.
