The three hundred and eightieth album: #380 Wire - Pink Flag
Quick and hard, Pink Flag feels like the quintessential punk album: short tracks with just enough changes to make them stand out, an aggressive sound supported by its lyrics, acknowledgement of what came before but crystallizing into this style. Wire sticks around after this with a big post punk influence, but this already stands out as a good, inventive album that goes many more places than I would expect.
