Ten iconic first-wave UK punk songs. Were there better, lesser-known singles? Probably. But these are the pillars of punk literacy in 1976 and 1977. This list downplays the "new wave" of the day (Elvis Costello, The Stranglers, The Jam) as well as the pub rock side of things (with the notable exception of The Vibrator's dreamboat ballad "Baby Baby"), but there's nonetheless a lot of variety, from The Adverts to Siouxsie, and of course, the big names you'd expect.
