Dr. Isis suspects that in 1977 Dr. Isis and PhysioProf were barely able to walk straight and were drooling all over themselves, except for completely different reasons.

Isn’t “Best UK Punk Song” a bit like saying “best American American Football team”? I mean surely the “UK” is an unnecessary qualifier he asks, whilst lighting the blue touch paper and running for cover?

Tai haku, wrong! But given the constraints of UK, then obviously The Clash. “White Riot” has that classic 1,2,3,4 opening, though I’m also partial to “London’s Burning”.

By the way, PPet al. — have you heard Cracker’s country-twang version of White Riot? So wrong, yet so very right…

I bought my nine-year-old a Buzzcocks CD, so I’m partial.

Out of those 3, White Riot for sure! Although if you put a different Pistols song in there I might have some trouble picking.

Yo, Smiley. Since you’re the expert on Regional Cal Punk, how about you nominate some NoCalPunk and SoCalPunk candidates?

After a few Jamesons, Comrade PhysioProf has listened to each of these songs. The official Comrade PhysioProf-endorsed winner is Breakdown. The uncontrollable frenzy beats the other two.

Tai haku, you were hoping someone would take the UK v. NYC bait eh? Well hook, line and sinker right here.
The Ramones are the godfathers of punk and it all started right here in the US of A my friend.
Course, The Clash bested everyone so quickly that most forgot all about the history lesson and pogoed our hearts out.
The Buzzcocks were always the ones with the best melodies.
I love the Pistols just for the sheer balls to take a major label deal and give them one album (just barely) before spending all the money and going down in flames.
The clear winner though is The Clash. They made ME want to make my own punk rock music.
I’m so booored with the U. S. A.

Awww. I came too late for the opening acts!
Yeah, I’ll agree with Comrade PhysioProf’s choice of Breakdown as the best(as offered)of the UK Big 3, and here’s my plug for the West Coast:
SoCal: Black Flag – Rise Above
NorCal: The Avengers – The American In Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSzfozcNajI&feature=related
TruNor: Subhumans – No Productivity or D.O.A.’s – I’m Right You’re Wrong, neither of which have video…
So I offer a compromise:
and a history lesson:
