I was a punk rocker in the late 70s-80s and I was so happy to find this collection--I will never be able to replace my precious record collection with dvds but it's great to find some of my beloved bands on this complilation. Overall I love it. I do have to say it is a strange collection to represent UK and/or US punk.
Where are Patti Smith, Television, Blondie, The Clash etc.etc.etc????? Not really a greatest hits collection, but some great tunes that are hard to find.

I had been looking for the song "Oh Bondage up Yours" by xray spex ever since hearing it on an online radio station. It isn't in any of the usual record shops around my way. But while browsing through the punk compilations in my cool downtown shop, I found this US vs UK cd. First off I probably would of put the album version of the Pistols "Anarchy" song on the collection. The version on this cd is a demo; and while it is low production and supposed to be cool, it sounds like hell. But the rest contains some surprises that I haven't heard before like The Undertones and Suicidal Tendencies. Plus it has "Oh Bondage" which kicks major A#@.It doen't have the Clash--- so what, they are overrated. If you like rock and punk get this.

This CD reminds of the old college radio sets from the early 1980's. While I already have every song on this cd on other CD tapes and vinyl, I loved it. Great idea for an album.

This has got to be the worst idea for a compilation ever. What a bunch of garbage. Plase just buy the original artist's albums.

And apparently The Clash were never punk since they aren't on this compilation.
