right had a think about this one. soundtrack of my life to date:

- sex pistols, anarchy in the uk
- sex pistols, submission
- the clash - lost in the supermarket?
- sham 69, borstal breakout

...hmmmn, it may have to be a double disc edition

All right, "Submission" was the only good tune the Pistols ever recorded and Sham 69 were strictly second rate, but I can definitely get on board with The Clash.

A top 20 of (mostly UK) classic 70s punk, in no particluar order:

1. The Clash -- Protex Blue
2. Wire -- Pink Flag
3. Gang of Four -- I Found that Essence Rare
4. The Subway Sect -- Chain Smoking
5. The Saints -- This Perfect Day
6. The Slits -- Love und Romanz
7. Television -- Elevation
8. Swell Maps -- Read about Seymour
9. Desperate Bicycles -- Advice on Arrest
10. The Fall -- Kicker Conspiracy (with its subtle Georgie Best reference)
11. The Ramones -- Commando
12. TV Personalities -- King and Country
13. The Germs -- Lexicon Devil
14. Pere Ubu -- Street Waves
15. Richard Hell and the Voidoids -- Blank Generation
16. The Buzzcocks -- Lipstick / Magazine -- Shot by Both Sides
17. The Fire Engines -- Get up and Use Me
18. The Ruts -- In a Rut
19. The Vibrators -- Whips and Furs
20. X-Ray Spex -- Oh Bondage, Up Yours!

With honourable mention going to the following proto-punk tunes:

New York Dolls-- Vietnamese Baby
Neu! -- Lilac Engel and Super
Brian Eno -- Third Uncle
The Count 5 -- Psychotic Reaction
Simply Saucer -- Nazi Apocalyse
The Velvet Underground -- Sister Ray
The Monks -- I Hate You

(and yeah, I guess I'll admit to liking Borstal Breakout, too).
