I love Pink Flag, but it's not even my favorite Wire album (it would be 154 #scaruffi4life). Dummy is at #3 on my chart. Heartbreaking, but easy choice.

I nominated Pink Flag. It's my favorite debut ever. Portishead's debut is also amazing, just not as much so. Trust me. Truuuuust meeee, you vant zu vote for ze Vire record.... Yessss....
"Pink Flag" is The greatest punk album of all time in my opinion. It should be noted I have not heard every punk record, but I've heard a good amount. and zis iz my fave. This record is loud and abrasive, but the really great thing about it is it's unmatched precision. The band just perfectly and artfully deconstructs rock and puts it back together again with only its most intense and necessary elements. Then it speeds it up and turns it up and spits it back out at us like a blowtorch. Then in the second half after your mind has been thoroughly whitewashed of all prior ideas of rock cliche then the record eases you back into a few unexpected and perfectly executed pop hooks. So genius.
