34. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
June 14, 1979
Critic Score
90
6 reviews
By the time of their first LP, Unknown Pleasures, Joy Division had tempered their style, planishing it down to a doleful, deep-toned sound that often suggested an elaborate version of the Velvet Underground or an orderly Public Image Ltd.
29. The Replacements - Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash

10. Nirvana - Nevermind
September 24, 1991
Critic Score

5 reviews
Too often, underground bands squander their spunk on records they're not ready to make, then burn out their energy and inspiration with uphill touring. Nevermind finds Nirvana at the crossroads — scrappy garageland warriors setting their sights on a land of giants.
5. Gang of Four - Entertainment!
September 1, 1979
Critic Score

4 reviews
On their combative, compulsively dance-y 1979 debut album, Entertainment!, Gill's fractured rhythm guitar shreds chords and roars anti-solos as Allen's funk bass supplies melody and Burnham rocks steady.
3. Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols
October 27, 1977
Critic Score

2 reviews
Musically, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols is just about the most exciting rock & roll record of the Seventies.
2. The Clash - The Clash
April 8, 1977
Critic Score

Saucier and more cinematic than activist-rock competition from the MC5 to Rage Against the Machine, the album lays down a guide to exile and cunning. The tunes still detonate as the group still insists justice must prevail, no matter how the world just ended.
