Special shoutout to Teen Idles - Minor Disturbance. I don't listen to it a ton, but as the first ever Dischord release it's probably one of the most important singles ever released in American punk.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
It's funny, the NYC punk scene was pretty unarguably the best in the country in the late 70s, but I was never a fan of the 80s hardcore scene it spawned compared to the other major cities (LA, San Fran, Boston, DC)

Yeah. I mean I like SOME NYHC, but very little compared to other cities.

The NY hardcore scene was, let's say, problematic.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Takes a special scene to come off as problematic even relative to the other hardcore scenes around the country. Real, real special.

I wasn't sure we could use 7" EPs - but I like Flex's list quite a bit.

1. Germ Free Adolescents
2. Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts
3. The Clash
4. Damned Damned Damned
5. Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Rather than go full-on original here, I'll just go with my actual preferences:
1. X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescents (Still my pick for the best punk record in spirit and aesthetics)
2. Sex Pistols - Bollocks (Impossible not to have this in the top 3)
3. The Clash - The Clash (see #2)
4. Buzzcocks - Another Music …
5. The Jam - In the City (okay, that's my concession to introducing one not yet picked)
