@historyofpunkrock โUrgh! A Music Warโ clips on Night Flight opened the door for me. Then one night they showed โAnother State of Mindโ and it was sealed. I was in way upstate NY, Led Zeppelin Hee Haw ville, so that was the only exposure I could get.

@Unabart @historyofpunkrock how far upstate? I lived in potsdam in 85-86 and the college radio there was AMAZING. I made a tape of one radio show and it remained one of my favorite tapes for years.

@historyofpunkrock So many to choose from, but the one with probably the biggest, and definitely the longest-lasting impact was The Damned - Light at the End of the Tunnel. It's a greatest hits double album.I had bought The Dickies - We Aren't the World, and The Damned were mentioned in the liner notes. I was fourteen and had heard so many punk bands by this time, but neither my friend's brother, nor the college radio station, nor Much Music (the Canadian music video channel) could tell me what The Damned sounded like. Finally, Much aired a documentary called Punk 76-79, which included a super-short snippet of the video for Smash It Up. I didn't love it, but it was so... different. I needed to know more! So I got the record store to order me the only Damned album in their catalogue, which was this one, on two cassettes. It was a very strange experience, with the mix of raw punk, goth rock, and atmospheric instrumentals. Some of it hit me immediately, some I grew into over time, but the overall effect was to change my life. And now, decades later, I'm still a huge fan.

@historyofpunkrock As a kid I was mostly into metal. I couldn't put my finger on it then, but I grew tired of the long songs and complex musicianship in 90s metal.Then Lemmy mentioned the Ramones on MTV. Rode my bike to the record store, bought Ramones' "All the stuff and more" unseen.Inserted CD, pressed play. The songs *just started*. No build-up but immediate adrenaline. All posing removed. Weird, fast, simple. Abrupt stop, abrupt start. "I could do this!" Holy shit. This is *it*.

@tito_swineflu @historyofpunkrock This was early 80's in Little Falls! Right between Albany and Syracuse. Not quite as far as north as Potsdam, though we'd spend our summers in Alexandria Bay. Left in 1985, when I was 15, for San Diego. That blew the lid off the punk rock exposure for me! Finally had access to the music and could see the bands play!

@Unabart @historyofpunkrock I mean, I came from California and returned to California, where all the great bands came through my little town, but Potsdam had MUCH better radio than the station at my town's dumb-ass party school.

@historyofpunkrock Dirty Rotten LP by DRI.I bought it on vinyl primarily because it was cheap as it was missing the original sleeve. I'd heard Thrash Zone and was into grindcore but this album was my path to punk.

@tito_swineflu @historyofpunkrock The area in central NY, from Rochester to Albany is kind of a void. After moving to SD, I'd come visit NY every summer with an arsenal of new killer bands for my friends to copy. It's still redneck central up there. Was just visiting Utica in September. Oof.

@Unabart @historyofpunkrock it really is. My father's from upstate (geneva), my wife went to Cornell, we have a hut in the Adirondacks and my parents retired to Kingston. Get ten miles away from any of the fancy-pants colleges and it's shacks with wax paper windows and subsistence poaching.

@tito_swineflu @historyofpunkrock Been to Kingston many times as a kid. We had a yacht in Alexandria Bay and would cross the river to do some Canadian shopping. I went back to the area in 2022. Took my mom. Neither of us had been there for 40 years. Pretty much everything was the same. Except now the castles had official tours. We used to just dock and urban explore those places. I was running through the catacombs of Boldt Castle when I was 10 years old. Wouldn't live there for anything.

@historyofpunkrock Teenager in the 60's here. While I listened to a lot of R&R, Motown, Surfer, Mainstream Vocal & Folk music popular at that time, the most significant LP that I bought then was:Miles Davis' record #My Funny Valentine" which made me a forever fan & collector of jazz music, mainly (bop & modern & pre-free) from the 50-60's.

@historyofpunkrock Friends introduced me to X. I got into them not long before "Under the Big Black Sun" was released, so "Wild GIft" was my gateway to punk/alt, etc.I was in LA so it was easy to see them gig and it was such a contrast to the large concerts most people went to (and still do). I'm spoiled by seeing bands in audiences of 200 or less.https://xtheband.bandcamp.com/album/wild-gift

@historyofpunkrock I know it's completely predictable, but it was Never Mind the Bollocks in 1977.In the UK, music was just _so_ dull then. This was just a completely different noise. And it was our music - our parents hated it which was great. I know they onlyade one album and I know John Lyndon has turned into an arse but it's the album I'd take onto a desert island. It's not possible to over-estimate this impact this album had on teenagers at the time.

@historyofpunkrock Some day in the 80s I bought the Soundtrack of Ms Robinson with Dustin Hofman. Listening to it at home (it was mainly Simon and Garfunkel), I noticed that I didnโt Like it too much, so I went back to the Shop . Luckily there was a Woman with a mohawk hairstyle at the Cash Desk and didnโt hesitate to exchange the LP - to Nina Hagen Band. So this is how it all begannโฆ.
