Sheer Terror - Just Can't Hate Enough

Sheer Terror were a NYC hardcore band that existed between 1984 and 1998. Always angry and confrontational, the band created a sound that's like being punched in the face by a guy wearing a leather jacket.

Descendents - Everything Sucks (+ Demos) and Cool To Be You

Some more Descendents albums now, I personally prefer their later ones (much less fart noises and gimmick songs). Everything Sucks came out in 1996 and Cool To Be You came out in 2004, both featuring slightly more mature songwriting but all of the energy of classic Descendents.

Descendents - Milo Goes To College + ALL

Okay the first is a classic pop punk album from '82 (I think). The eponymous Milo is the band's vocalist who was actually going off to college starting the first of the band's many hiatuses. Great fast fun record. The second was released in '87 and picks up from where the first left off. Many of the band also did some other cool stuff in music (apart from the original guitarist who became a fisherman, which is pretty cool too) so I'll label them up.

Dead Prez - Let's Get Free

Okay, this is our first rap/hip-hop post and how better to start it than with Dead Prez, the duo of stic.man and M-1. Mixing some fucking funky beats and basslines (I'm too white for this) and decent socio-political examinations of the world we live in, their debut album released in 2000 places their stance "somewhere between N.W.A. & P.E.".

Fucked Up - Hidden World & Chemistry of Common Life

Fucked Up are a brilliant experimental hardcore band from Canada. Since their inception they've pushed punk out of it's comfort zone and made these two awesome records. They're long, well written and unlike any punk you've heard before. Barked vocals musing on biblical themes and very grandiose but forceful and energetic instrumentals. Get these for the best in modern punk.

The Iguanas - Jumpin' With...

"Jumpin' With The Iguanas" is a garage record more than punk but it's important because a) garage is awesome and b) fucking Iggy Pop's on it (and it's where he got his nickname from). Iggy plays drums on this and it's also a pretty good album. They play some of their own stuff and some garage staples (like "Twist and Shout", "California Sun", "Surfin' Bird" and, naturally, "Louie, Louie")
