Lost in a Wide Open Field 
Personally I’d have gone for Another Music in a Different Kitchen by Buzzcocks, and (not sure if it counts as punk) Power in the Darkness by TRB. Saw Tom Robinson play the album at the 100 Club last week and it is as powerful and relevant today.
Thank you for your comment. Excellent call John on both accounts. I found it difficult to get a Rizla paper between both the Buzzcock’s albums and on another day I may have gone for Another Music in a Different Kitchen. I also have some fondness for the first Damned LP, which did not make it on this list because I hardly listen to it now. As for TRB’s Power in the Darkness, it remains one of my favorite albums of all time. Would have loved to have seen the 100 Club show. Very jealous. Mind you I still have my Power in the Darkness vinyl from the day and yes the free stencil that came with it is still intact and unused!
