There is rarely, if ever, a punk album I like through and through. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, The Ramones, and Elephant. Outside of those, it's usually a few songs off of an album. Check out these SONGS maybe:
Sublime - Date Rape
Presidents of the United States of America- Lump
Presidents of the United States of America - We're Not Gonna Make It
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression that I Get
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Mr Moran
Less Than Jake - All My Best Friends are Metalheads
Less Than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short
Streetlight Manifesto - That'll Be The Day
Streetlight Manifesto - We Will Fall Together
The Hives - Die, All Right!
The Hives - Walk Idiot Walk
AFI - Yurf Rendenmein
AFI - Cereal Wars
Sweet Baby - Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby Baby I Love You
Sweet Baby - She's From Salinas
The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far Kid
Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia
Green Day - Brain Stew (The second part)
If you couldn't tell, I'm more a fan of Ska punk and the 924 Gilman Street style. Ska punk's nice because it's not just punk, it's sort of unique and as a tenor sax player I really like the horns. Gilman's got a nice feel of urgency and anger while also having harmonies and some more interesting musical things. Technically the only ones on here are Sweet Baby and Green Day, but the AFI songs, Hives, and Offspring are pretty similar (especially the AFI ones) _________________
Very interesting to see a lot of these recommendations. From a lot of the albums you've all been suggesting, I think a lot of you have a very broad definition of punk - or rather, I have a very strict definition. I'll try to reply to all these recs tonight and then again once I've finished listening to them all. _________________ kill yr idols
Crass - The Feeding Of The 5000
Germs - GI
The Undertones - The Undertones
The Saints - (I'm) Stranded
X (Australia) - X-Aspirations
Haven't heard any of these, but I'm interested in giving Crass a shot as I've heard a few of their songs covered by Jeffrey Lewis

I've listened to Fresh Fruit and Pink Flag before (Pink Flag is one of the punk albums I've come closer to really enjoying). I can't remember if I've listened to Double Nickels On the Dime, but the others will be new to me.

Straight up punk albums:
- Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose
- Bad Religion - Suffer
- Rancid - And Out Come The Wolves
- The Undertones - The Undertones
- Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade
- Star Fucking Hipsters - From The Dumpster To The Grave
But for something a bit more thoughtful and melodic:
- Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
- The Replacements - Tim
- Fidlar - Fidlar
- Catch 22 - Keasbey Night
I really love a few tracks from AOCTW, but not the album as a whole. I've heard some good stuff from Fidlar but never tried the album, so I look forward to it. I dig Streetlight Manifesto and Catch 22 but ska is a total different side of punk for me.
Cattlest - the one album I haven't listened to that you mentioned is 13 Songs.
Bork - I'll make sure to check out the extended version.

Love Sister and Surfer Rosa, but don't classify them as punk myself. Damaged has never done much for me outside of TV Party. Not sure if I've heard Let It Be or not, but I'll be sure to give it a listen with the rest.

I've heard a lot of great stuff from the Pogues, been meaning to give an LP a spin for a long time now - looking forward to it!

Still yet to sit down to a full Buzzcocks album, but What Do I Get? has always been one of my favourite punk songs so I'm very hopeful.
SilverWalrus - I love Violent Femmes and Andrew Jackson Jihad is pretty great from what I've heard as well.
benpaco - Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. I like a good deal of the tracks you mentioned as well. _________________ kill yr idols
I have a question - usually, for me, I find that different styles of music are often best enjoyed in certain ways. For example, I like to listen to post-rock lied in bed and disco while cooking. For punk, I think I've found the most enjoyment while driving, but I don't drive enough to give all your recs that privilege.
So, is there any way you would recommend I listen to punk while at home for maximum enjoyment? _________________ kill yr idols
Here's what I will say: if you like London Calling I am pretty sure you'll dig "...And Out come The Wolves" by Rancid and "Machine Gun Etiquette" by The Damned.
Those are my major recommendations.
Following are other faves I recommend I general principle but are less precise:
So Alone by Johnny Thunders
Fire of Love by Gun Club
Nevermind the Bollocks...
Pink Flag by Wire
L.A.M.F. by Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers
Leave Home by Ramones
Damned Damned Damned by Damned
The New York Dolls Self Titled Debut
Also what these fine people have been saying are generally badass recs. _________________ -Ryan

Haha, that's a problem I have too. The best way I've found to listen to more upbeat or violent styles of music (punk, metal, alternative, whatever) is to play a video game at the same time. Usually it's WoW with a pair of headphones, but sometimes I just play Super Smash Bros. alone, against CPUs, just to put me in a I-kill-things mood.

Watch the News beforehand, then it doesn't matter what you do after that.
