So one of my friends recently started schooling me in Punk, and she started me off with the Ramones 1976 self titled album. I really like it, and I can just about guarantee you've already heard some of these songs, even if you didn't connect them with the Ramones at the time. Also, Green Day just came out with a new album that, I recommend that one too, and also their back catalog. She also recommended a book called Please Kill Me, which is an oral history of the punk scene, but it's hard to follow if you don't already know who the key players are. But if you're willing to look things up as you read, it might be interesting?

Anything from Chumbawumba that isn't tubthumping, Chumbawamba & Credit To The Nation "Enough is Enough", Stuff from Bad Brains, Pure Hell, Death and Poly Styrene. Of course The Clash, The Damned, and the Straps. The best punk is anarchist, anti-fascist, and anti-capitalist to the core. The music itself is hard to nail down as it kind of occurred across the globe around the same time in the late 60s and early 70s and continues to evolve to this day. And you'd be well advised to look at punk outside of the anglosphere, mad stuff was created all over the world.

Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster

God Save the Queen - Sex Pistols (for the Un-United Kingdom) My knowledge tends more toward the Southern California punk scene, but some of this may have made it across the pond by the time of the game: Holiday in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys Wild in the Streets - Circle Jerks TV Party - Black Flag Bloodstains - Agent Orange

I recently picked up a copy of The Secret History of Black Punk, by Reaghan Buchanan, wish I could attach a photo, the illustrations are great. It's a fairly short zine-style paperback, and it's got entries spanning the entire history of punk
