RS: 40 Greatest Punk Albums of All-Time (40 music items)

""We! Are tired! Of your abuse! Try to stop us! It's! No uuuuuuse!"

Damaged got them mixed up with a major label, which refused to release it and denounced it as "an anti-parent record." Which it is — not to mention anti-cop, anti-TV, anti-beer and, what else you got?"
