Genre: Punk
Year: 1977
About: This album is essential to the early punk scene. Hailing from New York's infamous CBGB's, Richard Hell epitomizes the punk spirit at its most important time. Jazz and funk were shown to be compatible with the punk aesthetic. He shows that "punk" is also passion and poetry. Hell's lyrics echo the voice of a generation, a "Blank Generation," of ostracized youth.
Sounds Like: Television, Johnny Thunders, Dead Boys, The Neon Boys
