Expert Opinions: Rolling Stone Top 40 Punk Albums of All-Time List

In response to the release of Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "Top 40 Punk Rock Albums of All-Time," I started sending out requests to people I respect and asking each of them for 5 albums that they would have included.

I did not just ask random people, these are people who have forgotten more punk than even I know and I have been into punk since 1983.

Enjoy!
