Which punk rock album is the perfect top-notch record from start to finish?

Some might say this is proto punk and they'd be wrong bc this is the 1st wave, this is the original that everything after is copying (or trying not to obviously copy). There is nothing more punk than this.

NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.

It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

Lyrics: Early one morning the sun was shining I was laying in bed Wondering if she'd changed at all If her hair was still red Her folks they said our lives together Sure was going to be rough They never did like Mama's homemade dress Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough And I was standing on the side of the road Rain falling on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I've paid some dues Getting through Tangled up in blue #TangledUpInBlue #BobDylan #OfficialVideo #HD #Remastered

The Kestrel. What a fabulous bird! I watched this one for quite a while today. Perfect conditions, but it didn't seem to be catching anything..... #UKBirding

Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.
