All American Hardcore Edition (I'm including 7" EPs since, you know, you could fit a bunch of hardcore songs in the space of a single):

1. Minor Threat - Minor Threat
2. Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles b/w The Man With the Dogs
3. Last Rights - Chunks b/w So Ends Our Night
4. Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown
5. Bad Religion - Bad Religion

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.
I can't believe I completely left off DK and Minor Threat. I was so focused on the NY scene that they slipped my mind.

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.

That’s true. It’s tough to sift out the ones that aren’t... problematic.

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. I might add Bad Brains - Pay to Cum or Dead Boys - Sonic Reducer.

Flex makes up his own rules but he always comes up 7" short.

Since there’s no objective correct way to do this, personal favorites with no justification and I’m limiting myself to the “original” crop:

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

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)
