'warm in your coat' is a greatest hits of sorts and highly recommended. it's reasonable priced too something to think of with young people.' benefactor' is a pretty good album but i always think you need to hear a spectrum from such a great band.

why no chrissie hynde? she actually went to england and hung out with the punks-as this seems a very eurocentric list. there appears to be an aversion to noticing american women especially if they were popular and not european.blondie came up very late and their influence good or bad was profound.' parallel lines' is one of the era's greatest albums. chrissie kicked major ass and has been very supportive of younger female musicians( absolutely ok'ing  use of ' talk of the town' when garbage was denied by her publisher because of shirley.)

but of course it's not my list and just an opinion. when i was young and in love with music ' out of print' and import never slowed me down and this was in the pre computer dark ages when most of this stuff on this list was being made. it was not easy to get when it was in print actually. i think young people who really care for music would be like i was instead of relying on convenience and downloading things plastered like drones to their computers. after all if there's enough interest in these things maybe it will help push them into being re-released.
