"Punk Rock" 1973-2010

I am working on a delicate project. Creating a List of the best "Punk" songs starting in 1973 spanning to 2010. This is pretty much all personal opinion but i would like some help along the way. I need some years filled and once i have a first draft i will post it. I'm starting out by picking 1 album per year. That is the first draft. Second draft is picking a second album per year. Third draft is picking between those two, separating them in to The "A" Team and the "B" Team, if you will. Then the final task of picking a song from each album to represent that year.

Here are some years i need help with.1975, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1996, 1998, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.

Anything will help really. lemme put it to you this way my pick right now for 1999 is "Through Being Cool" by Saves the Day.

This brings some shit back. Back in the days of Xanga on Tuesdays i would post the top 10 songs i was listening to, and so would my close friends. I would love to see some TTT's from my loves.

I and I know Jah.

I'm totally hesitant to make write about Ska and Reggae. This I feel is a music that i have only truly gotten into wholly within the past year. Sure I've know about it and listened to it since i was young, but in the past year i have immersed myself into it. Even with my immersion into the music I still feel ignorant about it. The culture with Reggae is where i feel the most ignorant. Understanding Rasta is kind of hard for me because i am not black, and even though i am an intelligent human being and I kind of get it, living it and intellectually getting it are totally different things. I am Babylon, and I hate this. Sure i can change some of this but still i will always be Babylon.
I suppose all that really matters is that we are all Brethren. I-rey.

10 Reggae, Ska(skapunk!), Rocksteady, Dub, and what have you songs that i love.

10.Burning Spear-Jah No Dead
9.Chris Murray-Rock Steady
8.The Forthrights-Liquor Store Music/One By One
7.Jimmy Cliff-The Harder they Come
6.The Skatalites-Guns of Navarone
5.English Beat-Mirror in the Bathroom
4.Bob Marley and the Wailers-Punky Reggae Party
3.The Pinstripes-One Drop
2.King Tubby-King Tubby's Conversation Dub
1.The Specials-A Message To You Rudy

A lot of these are some new discoveries, but number one is the first ska song i ever heard. Much thanks to Bob Fisher for introducing my dad to "We are Two Tone." The old man would play those two tone tracks all the time. Totally made a lasting impression because when i got to high school and got into punk rock and third wave ska i realized that lot of it sounded like the stuff my dad would play. Then i got addicted to The Specials, much like most other rudeboys of my age.

Keep It Real Rudi.
