The Most Significant Indie Records

Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation (EP) (Ork, 1976)

Though by definition punk rock was more concerned with spunk rather than precision, it couldn't hurt if you had both. This was recorded mainly as a demo to generate major-label interest, Blank Generation includes early versions of the title track and "Another World," both of which would figure on Hell's major label debut LP (also called Blank Generation) released teh following year. Though Hell's untutored whine is spotlighted, the real stars of this record are guitarists Robert Quine and Ivan Julian; solos are traded, rhythms trampled, notes bent in and out of key at will. This is highly recommended for all lovers of the true punk scene.
