What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time. When the only people that existed were troglodytes...

If Jimmy Castor didn't exist, you'd have to invent him.

"Hey Joe" is pretty major. "Arnold Layne" is seconded.
"You're Gonna Miss Me" "She's Not There"

Pump up the Volume is another contender, I don't recall hearing another song so impactful and alien sounding as a kid. I can't think of many dance tunes, either.
I would've thought Jimmy would've mentioned Being Boiled by now, too.

Anarchy in the UK is a great track and a game changer, but if we're heading punkwards, "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!" is both a debut single and the perfect encapsulation of the punk ideal. California Uber Alles, too, ffs. Nearly forgot. New Order's ceremony should be mentioned, even if it was a left-over. If we’re gonna go full ‘76, let’s go with ‘New Rose’. A much better record.

New Rose is a great track, but it lacks the chaos and frenetic energy of Oh Bondage.

First thing I thought of was "A Whiter Shade of Pale". It's the kind of peak an established growing artist hits on their third album if they get there at all. That it was done before the first album with a couple early members is pretty amazing. (Not that there would have been much room for blazing Trower guitar or B.J. Wilson percussive shenanigans.) P.S. It was what was on rotation at The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper launch party, NOT their own album!

Mr. Tambourine Man deserves a mention here. A true game changer.

Black Flag-"Nervous Breakdown".
I always wanted to like the Rollins era stuff more than I actually did. The Keith Morris stuff just nails it.

Joe Crow - compulsion.
And just like that, he was gone. I guess if you peak at the beginning, where else is there to go ?
