My punk album collection is really really really really small what albums should I get to try to expand it?

Beat Surrender by The Jam- a bit more melodic than most punk, but good nonetheless.
Damned, Damned, Damned by The Damned- Kickass, and that's all there is to it.
Wild Gift by X- LA punk, with a female frontman (or person, I guess).
Rocket to Russia by The Ramones- Classic and therefore necessary.
Nevermind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols- by The Sex Pistols- see above
Valley of the Dolls by Generation X
And something by The Adicts and The Clash (Don't remember which CDs I have by them, or else I'd tell you)

FEAR - The Record (this is a MUST HAVE)
Circle Jerks - Anything
Black Flag - Anything
Minor Threat
Dead Kennedys
early D.R.I.
early Suicidal Tendencies
Fugazi - anything
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (this was a flat-out corporate band, but they sure were fun!)
Here's a good starter CD - the music soundtrack to the movie "SLC PUNK". Lots of Good stuff - Fear, Gen X, Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, The Specials...

The Clash by The Clash
Machine Gun Etiquette by the Damned
Some good compilations albums are available - a lot of punk bands couldnt manage an entire album full of good stuff...Its hard when you only know three chords.

I reccommend any of the early 90's Bad Religion albums, including No Control, Generator, Against the Grain, or Recipe for Hate.

Get:
Know Your Product by The Saints. It's the be all and end all of 1970's punk rock.
Then get Marquee Moon by Television, for som laid back art punk. Kind of like Talking Heads meets Rolling Stones.
And follow it up with anything by Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Heavily influential New York no-wave band. Deliberately offensive & frustrating. They influenced Sonic Youth heavily.
Then, from the past few years, try:
Straight ahead by Pennywise, Selling ******** to a-seholes by Di.ck Nasty, And all of the Against Me! albums.

Go to the websites of the bands who's albums you already have, and look at their links section. You'll at the very least find a link to their record label, where you can download sample tracks from other artists and find what you like.
That's how I built my punk album collection, from one "Punk-O-Rama" CD a few years ago to nearly 300 albums today.
A few sites to hit: epitaph.com (owned by Brett Guerewitz from Bad Religion, features Tim Armstrong's (Rancid) Hellcat label), fatwreck.com (owned by NoFX's Fat Mike), and sideonedummy.com.
Also go to blanktv.com, they've got hundreds of punk videos, look through them and you'll find stuff worth buying.
