This is the thread where we talk about punk compilations issued in the mid 90s (Do not read if you weren't a boring white kid from the US suburbs, born ~1976-1984)

Black Dice are, sadly, the logical extent of Sonic Youth's half ironic interest in hardcore punk.

I don't think Sonic Yoooooth's interest in hardcore was ironic at ALL.

Why didn't I buy that comp? Imagine how cool I would be now if I had bought that for my interest in rancid and ended up liking Boredoms and UOA like.... 8 years earlier...
My friend and I had one that was covers of Sesame Street songs. God what was I thinking? It seemed to have been lost to time, as no traces can be found on Google.

fifteen years pass...

I stockpile punk compilations like some folks do with 60s garage rock. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the many Anagram "Punk Singles Collections" that came out in the 90s, particularly the ones covering small labels: Good Vibrations, Secret Records, Riot City Records, Raw Records, Small Wonder, Rondelet, Cherry Red, etc. Any of them particularly worth hearing?
