One of my favorite albums of all time.

First band to call themselves "punk." The first album oddly nodds It's head to fifties rock and roll pop while abandoning pop sensibility at the same time.

The album was a huge influence on Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, you can hear it most clearly on "State Trooper." Bruce did a great cover of "Dream Baby Dream" as the closer on a live tour that you can see on YouTube. I'd link it but I'm on my phone and its a pain in the ass.
