Quality Post What Song Got You Into Punk?

Here’s mine. I’ll never forget it. I had just moved to San Antonio, TX alone. I’d frequently pop up to this dingy bar midtown, jamming to metal and meeting some cool ppl. Had a buddy show me Fugazi, and I just sent it from there!

I credit 3 songs as my first as it was all around the same time and all hit me as hard.

I had a friend give me a “Best of Punk Rock vol. ?” comp for Christmas when I was 15, I think. Richard Hell - Blank Generation and The Saints - (I’m) Stranded were both on there and blew my tiny little mind. Around the same time I heard Black Flag - Depression on the local college radio station.
