Also albums by Theatre of Hate, Blood and Roses, Sex Gang Children, Lords of the New Church, Bauhaus, Southern Death Cult, UK Decay, Christian Death and The Birthday Party of a slightly different punk tradition.

Don't know enough about the genre to make a personal top 10 list yet, but The Jesus Lizard's Liar would definitely be on it. That album has some of the best bass playing in the past 25 years of rock music, not to mention that the songwriting shows a sense for building up and releasing tension that 95% of post-rock groups would kill for.
I agree that's an amazing album.  I love that band, and I think that may be their best album, or at least a tie with "Goat".  I saw them live around that time and I'd never heard of them before that, but boy, did they leave an impression on me.


Turbonegro's Apocalypse Dudes would have to make the list too, just because of how funny the lyrics are.

I have little liking for this kind of music in general, but there are at least a few good albums. To mention a few:

Joy Division - Closer
The Cure - Faith
Nina Hagen Band - s/t

One of the true punk bands, that never really got viewed as one as I understand it, is The Stooges. At least that's what I hear when I pop on those first albums. Sure they were all recorded well before the term 'punk' got coined, but when you listen to an album like Raw Power, it's uncanny just how far ahead of their time they were. It's simple, anarchistic, in your face, extremely provocative and just about every other punk connotation you care to throw at it.
