71.7 Seconds - Walk together, rock together
One of the greatest releases by the greatest posi hardcore band. This album contains the strength and positivity that a good hardcore albums needs. With the most popular title track's sing alongs or the cheeky cover of 99 red balloons this album never fails to entertain. Not only a great album, but was also produced by the man Ian MacKaye himself. If you get any old hardocre album this should be one of them.

72.A Global Threat - What The Fuck Will Change
A global threats last street punk album after they turned rockabilly, what the fuck will change was released on punkcore records. This was a global threats last street punk album after mark unseen left the band. This album was filled with Marks loud screaming vocals and fast up beat music on songs like The Power and Stop the Violence.

73.Reagan Youth - A Collection of Pop Classics
This collection from 80s punk band Reagan Youth is a great album in which their music reflected their name — ironic, bratty, and opinionated. Containing their albums Volume 1 and Volume 2 this album is filled with great tracks. They retained a humorous edge whilst making serious political points on songs like Jesus Was A Communist and Miss Teen America. This album makes you wonder what else Reagan Youth could have achieved if it wasn't for the tragic events that befell vocalist Dave Insurgent.

74.Gang of Four - Entertainment
The year is 1979. Bored with the current music, four young brits tried making a different record for their own entertainment. Out popped Entertainment!, one of the greatest post punk alubms to date. Their debut album contained lyrics that made sense only sometimes, simple drumming, odd guitaring, and agressive bass playing that together combined to make a frustrated energy that forced it's way to the front. That frustrated expression above all else, makes this album a must own for any music fan!

75.The Filaments - Skull and Trombones
The Essex boys' first album, they combine super fast punk with a horn section, and come out with some great results. This album would lead them onto the amazing '...Whats Next?' and all the hype in England about this band is well deserved. Good solo's, ultra fast drums and the dual singing of The Filaments leads to a brilliant album, that would be followed by an even better one.

76.Link 80 - 17 Reasons
This skacore album truly shows 17 good reasons why it is on this list. From the first bassline intro to the last trumpet blast the boys of Link 80 pump out the ska punk and ska core that they are famous for, and they do it with style. Nick sings, shouts and talks on topics from the devil to Julie's journey, and is sure as hell pissed off about it all. The musicianship is also superb, especially the bass, and they even pull out the electric organ for a surprise solo. All in all, this cd will get you dancing, singing, young and angry.

77.Adolescents - The Adolescents
The Adolescents self-titled debut came out in 1981 and struck straight at the heart of the California hardcore scene with it's simple and angry songs. From the opening chant of Amoeba to the epic Kids Of The Black Hole and the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Self Destruct. The Adolescents rebelled against their neighbourhood in the uber-conserative Orange County to create a brutal classic filled with snotty vocals, raging guitars and in-your-face pissed off attitude.

78.Oxymoron - Best Before 2000
The best of album from Oi! revivalists Oxymoron charts their musical journey from the simplistic, angry early days to their later anthemic Oi! epics. With songs like Dead End Generation, Big Brother and Faces From Below rocking harder than most other nineties band this album showed that Oi! certainly wasn't dead.

79.The Varukers - Blood Suckers
The Varukers took part in the simple yet devistatingly effective formula laid down by Discharge and play it as fast, as hard, and as heavy as they could. The album is regarded the bands best by most fans and is one of the best Uk82 albums ever made. The Varukers were one of the leading bands of the time. Key tracks include, Protest and Survive, I dont wanna be a victim, Android, Nowhere to go

80.Peter and the test tube babies - pissed and proud
Strangely enough their debut is a live album. This features most of their 'famous' tracks. Banned from the pubs, Maniac and Elvis is dead are a few of the top tracks on this album. If you like your punk fast and hilarious, then this is the band for you. "There were so many bands going on about fuck the system, fuck the government, fuck the police and all that crap, we just wanted to do something different" claims lead singer Peter Bywaters.
