Rolling Stone - The 100 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time
I have so much to say about this.\
I think NOFX ‘Punk in Drublic’ and Dead Kennedys ‘Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables’ are both top 20 at least.\
Also, feels like this is a lot of early/proto-punk bias. And on the opposite end, what the hell is Turnstile doing that high?\
If you are going to put Nirvana on this list at least use Bleach and not Nevermind.\
