Comment:
OK, I'm looking for feedback here. I'm debating whether to pair some of the songs down and squeeze it onto one CD, or expand it to 2cd's. Any comments on song selection, or sequencing? I'm trying to represent a good "history" of punk without dipping to far back (Dictators, Stooges, MC5) or to the more recent stuff. Are there any "crucial" songs I've missed? Or any songs that should be thrown out? I'm interested to hear what other people think. Thanks in advanceFeedback:
a good start, but i recommend picking only one song from each band so that you can fit in more bands. perhaps some descendents, op ivy, slits...
hmmm, the last few songs got cut=
Minor Threat- Straight edge
Bad Brains- pay to cum
Mission of Burma- Academy fight song, and this is not a photograph (flexi version).

You're off to a great start. I agree with Pam's suggestion about sticking to one song per band. Other possibilities? The Adverts, P.I.L., Gang of Four...You might try putting it in chronological order, but that would take quite a bit of research.
adverts is a must and of course wire, early adam & The ants, two great french band "Starshooter" and "Metal Urbain"
but your mix is very fine
but your mix is very fine
The Avengers is another band I thought of that shouldn't be overlooked
Where is The Clash? a great punk band that spanned the decades...AND DIDN'T SUCK! cause okay. we all love 'em, but the sex pistols really did suck. they couldn't play their instruments. but they made punk what it is and are major contributors to the movement. and will never be forgotten by any means...but let's not forget the clash!
i can't read. i honestly can't. i went back and read that entire playlist and went, 'hey i'm a fucking retard.' i went on that tangent for nothing. though i do stick by what i said. i just feel like sheepish now. baaa!
Hey Ben, I bet you could get ten bucks from Kate if you deleted her comments!
Oh, and stupid me. There's the Avengers at track 26. Where should I send my money to?
don't forget Eater,
stranglers, slaughter & the dogs,lurkers, angelic upstarts,drones and of course Subway sect (one of the best)

What range of years are you shooting for? Final Solution dates from '75. Even earlier if you count RFTT versions. Seeing that the term "Punk" was allegedly coined by John Holstrom do describe Go Girl Crazy, you really need some Dictators. What about the rest of the CBGBs crowd? Despite how their looked at today, Patti Smith, Suicide & Television (hell, even Blondie & Talking Heads to some degree) were considered punk back in the day.
as far as the damned go, i would recommend using "New Rose" instead of "Neat Neat Neat". "New Rose" was, after all, arguably the first punk single released in Britian.
you could definitely use some Bad Brains and The Adverts on here. great mix though.
