91.Dead Boys - Young, Loud, and Snotty
Cleveland early punkers who escaltaed the level of violence, nihilism, and ugliness of the punk movement to an extreame new level. The band was perfect for the budding New York CBGB scene with influences from such greats as The Stooges, Alice Cooper, the New York Dolls with Stiv being the ultimate punk frontman. Young, Loud, and Snotty wasn't just an album title it was a title for the band itself. Even after years of being around, this album still packs a punch to anyone who listens to it.

92.The Oi! Scouts - Boots for the Breakdown
If you could describe this album in one word it would be: raw. Combining the sing-a-long choruses of Oi! with the abrasiveness and aggression of street-punk this album is an uncompromising attack of the corruption of the American system with buzz-saw guitars, driving bass and incessant drums on songs like Boots for the Beatdown and Thugs this album is a must for any street-punk fan.

93.Judge - New York Crew
In just 5 tracks New York's Judge establish themselves as leading lights of the NY hardcore scene. The songs are all furious and betray a punk aesthetic that packs a powerful punch on songs like Fed Up and Warriors which are good enough for any listener to want to join their crusade.

94.The Dead Pets - too little too late
The Dead Pets debut album album was a kick in the balls to a UK punk scene that was become stale. Filled with catchy rock 'n' roll influenced brass-heavy punk anthems The Dead Pets wasted no time in establishing their trademark sound with singer Sweeney Todd instilling the humor with lyrics like "Uncle Festa, Child Molester!" and humourous sound samples. The Dead Pets retained their sense of fun whilst creating a great album.

95.Bouncing Souls - Maniacal Laughter
The second album from New Jersey pop-punkers the Bouncing Souls is one of the best and most under-rated punk albums of the nineties. Fillred with self-explanatory songs like The BMX Song and The Nerds, The Freaks And The Romantics, The Boucning Souls sang about the things that mattered tom them and didn't give a shit if nobody else cared about it. With simple but prominent bass-lines and distinctive vocals The 'Souls created a modern punk classic.

96.Agnostic Front - Riot,riot,upstart
The classic album from one of New York's premiere Hardcore bands from the early's 80s, Rio, Rio, Upstart while released in the late 90s still holds the true skinhead influenced NYHC of Agnostic Front. The bands political lyrics and general anger are still found in this album, just like all earlier albums. It is full of energy and pride, just showing that a band can stay true to its roots, even a decade after being formed.

97.The Virus - Nowhere To Hide
The Viruses second release from punk core records was their best album so far. On songs like another day goes by and Working for the company really brings out their UK 82 sound with Paul’s rough vocals and Jarrod’s fast drum beat definitely proves The Virus To be one of the best bands on the scene.

98.Nekromantix - Return of the loving dead
More shit pseudo-psychobilly on Hellcat. Is this what passes for a great punk album these days? Everyone who voted for this is retarded.

99.Anti-nowhere league - We are the league
The debut album by the league almost instantly placed them as one of the best bands of the time. Formed by bikers with a love of punk rock in 1979. The albums lyrics range from beastialty, to bondage, to pure filth, with Animals growling voice perfectly complementing the not too fast music. "So What" was covered by world famous thrash metallers Metallica after they had name the league as one of their big influences. Key tracks include Animal, So What, Streets of london

100.Horrorpops - Hell Yeah!
With their debut album "Hell Yeah!" The female fronted psychobilly band "The Horrorpops". While eerie rockabilly music is the norm for this genre this band does it with a bit of a happier twist, mainly from the female singer’s voice . The bass is decent from Patricia, but I guess that’s okay considering she has singing duties too. The bouncy drums from Niedermeier are great, and the two guitarists (Kim Nekroman and Karsten) are good, but the bass and drums, making them harder to hear on certain parts of the album overshadow them. However, they all do a great job in playing anything from the faster "where they wander", to the amazing Surf song "Horrorbeach". Is this a good album? Hell Yeah!
