Here are my favorite Punk, and New Wave CD's:

-The Cars^^^^CANDY-O. Just the essential sound for the Cars.
Basically traditional rock and roll meets synth. Great mix.

-Ramones^^^^ALL THAT STUFF AND MORE vol.1
I love the Ramones. Always have. When I hear their music I want to eat a Big, Mac, and Fries, smoke cigarettes(I dont smoke) and skip school(I'm 36 and don't attend school). Weird but true. It's hard to pick a favorite studio album. This has many songs, and not a bad one on it. Very good compilation, I always recommend to friends curious about the Ramones.

That should pretty well cover the punk, new wave, and even post-punk days, but there's so many more that should be essential...

-Blondie^^^^EAT THE BEAT. 1979 was a great year for Music. One of my favorite albums.

-Black Flag^^^^ WASTED AGAIN. A perfect compilation of Black Flag's career.

-Sugar Cubes^^^^HERE TODAY, TOMORROW, NEXT WEEK. Befor
Bjork went solo and thought she could conquer the world, she was just a sweet girl from Iceland making great albums.

-Nirvana^^^BLEACH. Did Nirvana sell out with Smells like teen spirit? No, but record labels can make you a mega star if you make catchy music. Pure, and simple.
Bleach was a fantastically gritty debut album. No polish. When I heard it I knew Cobain was troubled just by listening to aching vocals. Great stuff.

-Drunk Injuns^^^^FROM WHERE THE SUN NOW STANDS, I WILL FIGHT NO MORE, FOREVER. Skate rock deserves its place in history(early 80's). Sadly, this is one of the few(good) albums that is available on CD from the entire genre. Unless you're into tape trading, this is about as good as you can get, but I'm still hoping The Black Athletes "Die Laughing" makes it to CD someday.

-Sonic Youth^^^^GOO. Great album? In my opinion, yes.

-Meat Puppets^^^^MIRAGE. My absolute favorite band of all time. It was hard to pick my favorite album. Mirage incorporates everything the Meat Puppets are best at: Humor, sadness, amazing country style guitar picking.
MY DESERT ISLAND ALBUM, if ever there was one.

-Ramones^^^^ALL THAT STUFF AND MORE vol.1

-Flock of Seagulls^^^A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS. From 1982 this was already the twilight of the New Wave scene. very solid album.

-Berlin^^^^PLEASURE VICTIM. Is it possible to use too much MOOG synthesizer? Apparently not. Another great album from 82.

-The Breeders^^^POD. Kim Deal you are awesome. Very great album.

-WEEN^^^^CHOCOLATE AND CHEESE. Crazy stuff. The fact that they are just making with the funny doesn't change the fact they are very talented musicians. They can(and have) emulate practically every style of music known to man.

-Siouxie and the Banshees^^^TWICE UPON A TIME THE SINGLES.

-Scarce^^^^RED.
Near the end of "Grunge", this great little EP was released.

Alright there you are. Now please list your favorites. I need some new material to listen to. Thanks.

Let's not forget The Replacements and early REM in the Alternative genre, since they both pretty much co-invented that movement. :)

No kidding - threads like these usually send me either to the iTunes store, or looking through my old albums, or they'll have me looking into stuff I might have missed, which is always welcome.

Yessir - U2 ("War") too. Hard to believe they started that far back. Kind of like the Police ("Outlandos d'Amour") and Eurythmics ("Sweet Dreams Are Made of This") - their later, more mainstream pop work tends to over shadow their early music. Annie Lennox - amazing pipes.
