I am rereading the list and I am asking where is the Misfits and Crass? Why is Pere Ubu on the list?

Catapault I'm with you on that one.
The first thing I noticed was No Dead MilkMen.
I don't agree with Nirvana being a part of the list not to mention that they listed them above Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and meat puppets.
Christ, Black Flag was stomping the shit out of Kirt Cobrains parents long before Nirvana.

Ah, what the hell!

No Exploited? No NoFx? Or Bad Religion? What about the Vandals, the Toy Dolls or the Dickies?

And why the hell is Rage against the machine on there? Because they're political? Eh...

FJ, I think the only politics involved here is between the publishers of SPIN and the record companies. Sad, state of affairs when you cant even get an honest comprhensive greatest hit lists

Let's put it this way: if you can watch Rock n'Roll High School without flinching, then you should be saddened.

Otherwise, your life will go on.

These are 30 something’s who, while in high school, were afraid to be involved, or desperately tried to be a part of the head bangers MEof the late 80’. But that’s cool. We had fun without them. I miss the looks I would get from older people on the street. I don’t miss the bull shit from self-righteous high school teachers, or the god-fearing folks from Virginia.

Self-righteous high school teachers?

Try self-righteous high school guidance counselors. They're the absolute worst.

Half of the list (at least those bands I'm familiar with) would be hard pressed to be classified as punk.

And where is that quintessential Aussie punk outfit, The Saints?

Yes we do.

I'll have you know that I can count to twenty. Twenty one if my pants are off.

The only reason that "In Utero' is a good album is because of Steve Albani; end of story.
Last night I watched the VH1 25 years of punk. It started off really good. I mean who doesn't love Richard Hell and the New York Dolls? But it sucked towards the end. It went directly from DC hardcore to grunge.
I am just stick of the grunge thing getting called the rebirth of punk. The only band (in my eyes) that was punk out of that scene was Nirvanna and maybe mudhoney. They spent five minutes talking about Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. C'mon they are far far far from punk. The show barely meantion Husker Due and the Twin Cities scene. GRRRR

Damn you VH1

Mosrite nailed it.

As for the Dead Milkmen...

If one of their albums were to appear on that list, which would it be and why? And where?

My call: "Big Lizard In My Backyard" at number 47. Very funny album, that actually spoof a lot of the punk ethos, as well as the music style.

Runner-up: "Meta-physical Graffiti" the album is just too damn funny not to mention.

"Bucky Fellini", is always worth a good listen

What are you kids smoking crack? Beelzebubba is by far the greatest dead milkmen record. It takes you through the whole gammit of human emotions.

You guys make want to drink bleach.

'Beezebubba' was good, but not the best. But I will always have a soft spot for 'Stuart'.

As for the list, not the word "if". I think they are far more deserving than some other folks on this list. They represent a different side of the punk picture.

mosrite, you are not in big drill car because you would get sick of playing 'A take away.' Isn't that there only song.

Just to spite this list I have been listening to the Jam nonstop. I even listed to the style council. *shudder*
