| The Best Punk Albums I've Owned
This is a list of the best punk albums I own or have owned (which is a lot). Ranked from last to best. | | 1 |  | Minor Threat
Complete Discography
While this album isn't a single work (its contents are the entirety of Minor Threat's EPs), it still carries a jaw-dropping amount of sincerity, enthusiasm, and philosophy. You may think the band are self-righteous sticklers because of their preaching against drugs, promiscuous sex, and alcohol abuse, but you can't deny they preach it with the utmost intensity. | | 2 |  | Nirvana
Nevermind
Nevermind is simply a good album. There are few to zero "filler" songs on the album. Kurt Cobain's tongue-in-cheek and "smartass" lyrics are very memorable and make the whole album's tone very ironic and sarcastic. There's no wonder Nirvana defined a musical age with the album, since it packs much more creativity, dedication, and originality than other album of its time. | | 3 |  | At the Drive-In
Relationship of Command
"Relationship of Command" is one of a kind. It blends elements of electronic, punk, hardcore, latino, and progressive music into one giant smoothie of balls-to-the-wall awesomeness. Each song has so much energy and an unparalleled tonality. Songs like "Pattern Against User" totally bring the enthusiasm to the forefront. The fact that the lyrics are indecipherable doesn't detract from the album, but for some reason makes it that much more cool and mysterious. I've never heard an album quite like "Relationship," and that tells me At the Drive-In had seriously created a beautiful work of art with it. | | 4 |  | AFI
Sing the Sorrow
You may object, but I have to say this album is breathtaking - the best album I have owned. The album has such a seamless flow to it, and each song brings its own unique flavor and emotion to the table. Right from the very first line singer Davey Havok calls out, you can tell the album isn't screwing around. AFI are here to deliver a very sincere package of introspection, malice, and emotion to your ears. The album has a great, earthy tone to it, and songs like "The Leaving Song, pt. II" and "Bleed Black" yield a sound no band has ever even come close to replicating. The album is so chock full of extreme "hatred" (I guess you would say) and exquisite feelings, yet it spreads them out in a smooth presentation that is neither too obsessive, nor too thin. The album even has a haunting spoken-word poem and an ensuing song, "This Time Imperfect" that literally leaves me a chill in my spine. The one-of-a-kind sound, Havok's eloquent and sincere lyrics, and the album's seamless flow and energy make "Sing the Sorrow" THE best album I have known. | |

12.26.11 | "It isn't bitching if it's true"
1 is the only one of these that I'd describe as "punk," but the genre has had just as big an influence on the other three. of all the genres I think that punk is probably the most flexible and most difficult to define. | Trebor.

If something is influenced by a genre it doesn't make it that genre
