Best Punk Rock Album of the 90's - Winner!
by Turtle Jones

I'm gonna fuck you up and get high!!! It's over. You have voted and you have made a decision. The nominations were yours, the votes cast by you. When this is said and done, we are going to have the five best punk records of all time. Each by decade. Except for the 80's which we had to split. But by now you guys know how this works. We open up nominations and you plug away. We close nomations and open up the polls. Leave it up for a few days to keep moving on to the next decade. The 2000's nominations will start tomorrow morning. Now four time periods have been covered. These are the first four. But forget them for now cause we still have alot to get thru.

Welcome to January 1, 2000.

don't nominate anything here. These are just the results.

The 70's - Ramones - s/t


80-84 - Black Flag - Damaged

7secondswtrt.jpg85-89 - 7 Seconds -Walk Together Rock Together

So who won the 90's? The battle was fast and furious, but only one will go to the end battle. So who was it this time? Who did you guys like the best out of that time frame? Who moves on?

The Dwarves - Blood, Guts, and Pussy

262494L.jpgWhoa! Here we go! This is punk rock fuck you adrenaline kick ass shove you down I stopped giving a fuck along time ago rock. I don't think this album even tracks at 15 minutes. Jesus christ. Fuck you up and get high? Fuck you in the back seat of my car? Junkie broads hanging around you too much? A nationwide tour with a song about how you fucked every groupie on the road? Whoa! Here we go! This is a lesson in what not giving a fuck any more was all about. Blag and Hewhocannotbenamed would only get bigger with more collaborations, but at this time, the original label knew, they must have known, that they were getting a little more then they wanted. A totally naked guitarist with a Mexican Wrestling mask. A singer who had a habit of of assualting the crowd. A set that stayed up as long as someone in the band wouldn't smash the set. Bored or detoxing. Just wrecking things. Maybe ten minutes. If we were lucky 15 minutes. Total choas. This band wasn't booked in most towns because they were told they weren't worth the damage they brought in. This was a band that wouldn't take final on a set. They wanted second bill. Promoters would put them as second. You can't have a build up to the end and kill it in 10 minutes. You can't have a band that would start in total fury and end so fast. Like an orgasm. Over fast and quick and would leave you wondering why you are covered in sweat and what the hell happened to your beer. That was the Dwarves. This was the album.

yeah cullen.

you better step up for 2000 cause you seem to be losing out

but we are just the hosts. I really thought the rev. was gonna take this one, but, meh, we just work here

I am positive that there are bands that have been putting out "punk" music in the 2000s. I'd be hard pressed to think of them, though.

I'll have to nominate some more Reverend. I mean, their best album, Spend a Night in the Box, came out in 2000. Thank God.

explosion - flash flash flash but thats it.

I know you guys just work here, and you do a fine job cleaning up after us. :)

Plenty of punk bands put out records in the 2000s: Bad Religion, Rancid, MXPX, NOFX -- all those West Coast bands signed to Epitaph . Then there's the Donnas, Arcade Fire, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Sleater-Kinney, etc. Just a few that come to mind.

I'd hate to think that any of Bad Religion's releases in the 2000s would be considered "best of" material.

Andrew's on the right track. Pretty soon we'll put up the nominations post and I have a list of bands that put out stuff in the 2000s.

Not necessarily stuff turtle or I would like, but this is up to you guys.
