11 Drink The Way I Do
12 The Night The Lights Went Out In Scotland
13 Taylor Made

In theory, it seems Vancouver's irrepressibly goofy the Real McKenzies have set out to do for Scottish folk what the Pogues did for Irish folk: give a cheerful boot up the ol' arse. In reality, they sound closer to the ultra-gimmicky one-hit wonders Tenpole Tudor: three-chord bubblegum-punk that occasionally throws in a set of bagpipes or essays a traditional tune for color. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because the Real McKenzies deliver the goods with unpretentious charm and a refreshing sense of humor on Oot & Aboot...

16 Man Against Man

At this phase in their development, Ignite's quasi-punk sounded more angular than many pop-punk revivalists of the day and more melodic and rambunctious than the latter-day hardcore set. Highlights include most of this record's fast-paced material that follows a few pop- and rock-tinged opening cuts...

18 Ashamed Of Myself
19 Lone Wolf

Americana - a mixture of folk, rockabilly, blues, country, Cajun, and other roots music - is now a well-established radio and industry genre, and this is the album that almost single-handedly created it. When the Blasters, fronted by brothers Phil and Dave Alvin, came roaring out of Downey, California, during the heyday of punk back in 1977, many considered them a throwback, but once the savage energy of this band hits you, it's obvious they ain't no wannabes...

Boris the Sprinkler were one of the most deliberately zany punk bands of the 1990s and early 2000s. If the energy of a live punk rock show along with the sights and sounds of Green Bay's Boris the Sprinkler could be captured and pressed, this record would be the result. Nothing compares to seeing Boris live, but this record comes close...

One of the longest-lived groups of the punk era, 999 formed in London in December 1976. Live recordings can be questionable, but this is one of the few where you don't have to worry about the sound quality: it's terrific. Chugging rhythmic guitars, steady backbeat, and snappy melody...

Old school slams straight into the new school on Swingin' Utters' second full-length album. Combining the taut, melodic edge of the Clash and the anthemic quality of Sham 69 with a hint of the Sex Pistols and nods to Stiff Little Fingers, the album may be rife with influences, but is still potent with potential. Less nihilistic than their predecessors, Swingin' Utters' world view tends more toward the fatalistic...

Teenage Head were a punk rock band from Hamilton that started recording in the late seventies.
