Reddit mentions of No Thanks! The 70s Punk Rebellion

I haven't listened to many full albums because I'm just getting into the amazing run of singles released in the latter half of the 70s, so if you're looking for a compilation, try No Thanks! for 100 of the necessary stuff. Such a fertile period, masses upon masses of kids playing with matches... to very good results of course.

I also love:
The Clash - London Calling (obvs)
Television - Marquee Moon (does this even count?)
Stooges - Raw Power (PLAY IT FUCKING LOUD)
Gang of Four - Entertainment! (a dance-off at your own personal shame banquet)
Wire - Pink Flag (so complex, "Ramones went to art school" etc.)
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (bleak but super groovy)
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady (so much fun, but also very sad and lonely)

I would recommend listening to this compilation and then explore the discographies of whatever bands on it you like the most:

No Thanks! The 70s Punk Rebellion


That covers all the standard essentials of early punk. Here's a couple other favorite comps of mine:

Good Vibrations: The Punk Singles Collection (best punk/powerpop singles from Irish label Good Vibrations)

Killed By Death (obscure 70s/80s punk)

The 4 disc compilation box set No Thanks! The 70s Punk Rebellion is an awesome place to start. I was already a little bit into punk, but this set introduced me to what are now some of my favorite bands and artists.
