Punk Rock Nostalgia

Mal Thursday dredges up a Classic Rerun from April of 2016, which focuses on his favorite punk rock-related numbers, mostly from the '76-'80 golden age. There is no hardcore, no post-punk, no pop-punk, and no posers. Well, that last one is debatable. Dig in! Presented in Ultrasonic Stereophonic and Living Monophonic Sound.
