This one for you ClassicMusic20. I know you want trendy Yacht Rock for your radio but calling soft Christian rock by that genre just to get me to buy something won't work and never putting a penny of your own money for anything while using pressure buy to make me buy the last one on Discogs is lame for lame music my Goodwill steals are Sanctified.as R.L. Burnside used to say live.

LOL,yup,a ton of goodies of that time.
Don't forget the killer comps.
'84 was the point in punk.
At least to me....
i have to agree 84 was the turning point. after that things seemed to start to fiz out a little.
Most of you, if not all, are a bit older than me, but...If the question is taken another way...The best year was the one when you first really started to love the music. I think it is that way for lots of folk. For instance, I loved that first summer in 86' when I finally got to hang out with my best friends older brother and his punker friends. They were jamming Suicidal and smokin' out...they jokingly gave me some, and I just sat in front of the speakers and tripped! The music was alive and I was hooked from then on...It wasn't to much longer till I made the pilgrimage to the music store, and asked the attendant if their was any music he could suggest..he handed me the Germs. I've been sittin in front of the speakers ever since. :)>Rg
P.S. Love the list!
Suggest add: NOTA, Poison Idea, 'Nardcore' Bands, BGK, GBH, The Authorities, False Confessions, DI, Adolescents, Doggy Style, Final Conflict (LA), and so many more...
Good point RG.
Hey,it's your favorite year in punk :).
Thanks for the input.Exactly what I was aiming at...
For me personally, it was 1983, that was the year that I started going to hardcore gigs. In that year I sae Husker Du, Government Issue, Void, Dead Kennedys, DRI, MDC, GBH, CH3, Circle Jerks, Big Boys & many, many others. 84 was right up there too. Gotta agree with Aesop's list!
1982. I had sex with a punk rocker and it was great. Music is ok, but this was sex, people! 1982 4-ever!!
Emerson
I had sex this morning but it was self-inflicted.
1986. My brother had introduced me to some punk records the summer previous, but it took me a while to hook into the scene in Gainesville so I didn't get to my first show until January of '86, when I saw Black Flag the day of the Challenger explosion. After that, I saw numerous local and touring bands that year and the next two before crossing into death and grind a few years later when punk started to decline in Florida.
I remember I wasn't even a punk yet, just kinda a geek who had been tripping on the Ramones and AC/DC. Some chick had just picked up "Plastic Surgery Disasters" and was listening to it in art class, I remember thinking "what the fuck is that?" and looking at the album cover with the shriveled hand. I had a buddy who would visit his grandparents in NYC on the weekends and come back with stuff that just blew my mind, I was facinated with the intensity. This is Boston Not LA, Jerry's Kidz, the Bad Brains tape and Rat Music for Rat People. We would sit in the library during lunch and play the records on a cheap little built in speaker, all in one turntable. It didn't matter, the music spoke to us and sounded perfect.
definitfly 1986, i saw EA80 in a small club called "Juz Bockenheim" in Frankfurt and there were too many people...i was infected & i'm still a maniac ...
for me 1986, i discovered
HDQ you suck
rhythm pigs 2nd
social unrest: before the fall
...and many many more...
1982... when I got the first issue of Maximum RnR and started trading records/tapes/zines/ideas "around the globe".
Waiting every day for the postman to bring more stuff ;-)
Those were the times... today it´s just boring....too much bad music.
Punk come to me 1985.My first records were the Exploited-Let`s start a war-Lp, Sudden Impact-LP and FU`s -Kill for Christ.Till the day Punk came in my life my favorite music was the 80th Metal.A friend of mine bought the Exploited-LP.For me it was a new kind of music.And i loved it.And so I hear since this day 80th Punk/HC and Grindcore/Powerviolence.

I guess I'm the baby of the group. I would say 1988. I was finally old enough to go to shows myself. I hit a lot of CBGB's matiness. It was scary as shit, but I saw a lot of great bands.
Yeah, 84-85 was definitely the year I started switching over to punk from metal. I was a 15 year old nerd living in Tokyo and the first listen to Discharge "why" and Anti-Nowhere League LP put me through a whole new beginning of music appreciation. Then once I discovered US Punk, it was all over for me. US punk had more variety of sounds in my opinion - I think the first comp I heard was "Let them eat jellybeans". Then getting to know Sakevi (GISM), Jha Jha (Lip Cream) and being involved in the Japanese punk scene was just amazing. Good times that's for sure.
1977 for me. One minute we were all putting up with the likes of Slade and Sweet.......the next...boom! The Pistols came along and so did the Clash....and a whole host of other music. I was only 11 but proud to say,an 11 year old punk. Now I'm a 43 year old one but I'll never forget the immence impact it all had on me.

1977 - remember when Blondie and Devo were lebelled Punk? Before there was "new wave" and skinny ties? Before there was formula, uniforms and peer pressure? Before there was macho NY hard core?

1989 - was the first time I sneaked into a punk show as a worried 18 year old and the year I started seriosly tapetrading and reading 'zines.
from a historical context - 1977 - the brit punk invasion and the nyc cb's bands changed the world forever.
you had dammned damned damn ramones leave home, dead boys young loud and snotty, the clash 1st album, never mind the bollocks, wire's pink flag,the saints (yeah- i know they were aussie, but they sorta hit big in the uk), etc
from a personal context- 1982-1983 (i view things personally in academic years)- husker du, replacements, getting into all the west coast bands (black flag, circle jerks, doa, descendents, dk's, flipper, and the nyhc was hitting big.
1984 was the magic year for a lot of us, I guess... My first show was Pittsburgh in 83'(The Necros/Real Enemy), and I got off on the energy but took a lot of shit for my long hair and Iron Maiden t-shirt..Ha ha! 1984 was when I got really involved, saw amazing shows like Raw Power/Riistetyt,Battalion Of Saints/C.I.A./The Outpatients,N.O.T.A./Th'Inbred,Circle Of Shit/Half Life,etc...
The Electric Banana(Pittsburgh)had a rep as a shady club due to the owners, but we had a hell of a scene and a LOT of classic bands played there. It was like my second home! That and the Underground Railroad in Morgantown,WV... Another really cool place.. Ah, the memories!
I believe for me it would be 1983 when I first heard a yodeling punk band--Minor Threat. Then my friend recorded JFA Blatant Localism and Misfits Legacy of Brutality. I was still holding the recorder up to the radio to get stuff like Gary Numan on the FM rock station. Then I started to record the Maximum Rock N Roll weekly radio show on Sunday nights. Soon I started spending that first work money on any punk records I could get downtown like Social Distortion Mommy's Little Monster or YYY - Sin. With a friend I got all of Aesop's list for sure. I left my Led Zeppelin collection in the dust. At the time I thought 1981 was the best year but didn't worry about it.
öfff musically I think 1980/82/83 are so great but my best punk years were when I was between 14 - 16
so it was 2005/06/07 :D
going to pubs with other undergrounders (hehe), youth centres, pogo, festivals, weird outer appearance witch resulted in some kind of anger from the closeminded people and so on and so on :D
1977 was the year for me. A soon-to-be girlfriend sold me a 7" of the Sex Pistols' "Holiday In The Sun" and I played that fucker non-stop for a week. I remember also kind-of pogoing in my bedroom because the music sounded so ALIVE and infused with optimism that you could do this; you can change if not the world, then your own little world. For a kid growing up rejected in suburban Connecticut (hell on earth if there ever was one), this was a godsend. There was also a jazz record store in my town and from there I was able to buy a lot of punk/new wave records for cheap.
1981-1984 HARDCORE-PUNK AGGRESIVE STYLE AND PUNKS WHO HIT THE SHIT OUT OF THE BONEHEADS.
I hear you, I was at a show last night and oh did I yearn for the day when the skinheads would make a clean sweep with locked elbows and just bulldoze the entire crowd. Hell, no one even dances any more. That is the reason I go to shows to release pent up energy. Otherwise it is gentrified bullshit!
