I won't even pretend to start discussing the relative merits of the ordering, or pick at what should have been included instead of what's in it, but I think I love every single one of those albums listed so they musta got something right.

There's a part of me that is opposed to ranking punk records. It's applying the idea of a canon to a genre that was arguably rooted in rejecting that kind of approach to art. I still play that game of listing favourites and all that, but I do question the intellectual fidelity to punk values.

Still, Siouxsie should be way fucking higher.

I just can't sit still if somebody is going to say that Offspring album is better than The Scream.

As should X Ray Spex. And Discharge should be way lower. As in, so low it's off the list entirely.

They got it right about which version of White Riot was the best. Also nice to see SLF so high.

Could debate positions all day but for me The Ruts way to low! Swap with The Skids.

I noticed they left off the Violent Femmes self titled, which I consider a seminal album. Is it punk, though?

No.

Why not? And for a good dead-horse question: what constitutes "punk"?

Because acoustic guitars are for weenies.
