100 PUNKS

[defrog]

ITEM: Rolling Stone has published a listicle of the Top 100 Punk Albums of all time. Inevitably, a lot of people online are sneering at it. Which is so punk rock!

Well, look, all online lists are basically meant to drive clicks and "engagement", and we can always argue over "is this punk rock" etc.

On the other hand, Paramore?

The weird thing (apart from it being heavily skewed towards the US – I'm sure a Mojo list would skew the other way) is that while I don’t object to the majority of the entries, they’re also so obvious that it feels like they’re ticking boxes.

I guess the real drama is in the rankings, but again, I think we all knew what No.1 was going to be before we started scrolling.

But, again, stuff like this is for starting arguments, not establishing canon, so I shouldn’t take it too seriously.

Party with me punker,
