| Skip the safety pins and put on the first definitive overview of punk's beginnings. Four CDs gathering 100 songs from a wide-ranging cast of characters. It's got proto-punks like the New York Dolls and Iggy Pop; key figures like the Ramones, The Buzzcocks, and The Clash; as well as artists like Talking Heads and Blondie, who quickly outgrew the punk label. A thoroughly researched 116-page booklet includes liners, rare photos, track-by-track commentary by Trouser Press founders Ira Robbins and Dave Schulps, and personal tributes by Johnny Ramone, David Byrne, Joan Jett, and others.
When punk began it wasn't so much a sound as an attitude. Before there was punk the genre -- narrowly defined by music that was loud, fast, and snotty -- there was punk the movement. That's why you get well-dressed guys like Joe Jackson alongside fiends like The Cramps. What mattered was that, in their own way, these people all said "no thanks" to the rock pomp and disco camp that ruled the charts through much of the '70s.

Sure, there were a lot of tremendous albums, but all the artists that cut great LPs also had great 7"s -- and in the case of Television and Patti Smith, they had independent singles released prior to their first albums that never appeared on their debuts. Since rock criticism tends to be album-driven, singles tend to get slightly overlooked, and since punk is a rock critic's favorite, some revisionist historians paint the era as fueled by albums, not singles. Rhino's excellent four-disc No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion corrects that error by focusing on the singles, winding up with a one-stop introduction and summary of the era that is as good as Loud, Fast & Out of Control, their similar set on early rock & roll. The compilers have bent the rules of punk slightly, deciding to include proto-punkers like New York Dolls, the Stooges, the Dictators, and Jonathan Richman, and then to not present the cuts in a strictly chronological order. This benefits the album, since these artists are in the same spirit of the bands they inspired, and the sequencing plays like a great mixtape. Rhino has also evenly balanced the set between American and British punk, including both early hardcore punkers the Dead Kennedys and British pub rock renegades like Nick Lowe and Ian Dury in equal measure. Though there's a bit of difference between "California ?ber Alles" and "Heart of the City," they deserve to be paired on this set because they both were genuinely independent, exciting 45s that crackled with energy and captured the spirit of punk, albeit in different ways. And that's what makes No Thanks! work so well -- it illustrates how diverse punk and new wave were in the late '70s, but it places a premium on adventure and excitement, which means even artier bands like Pere Ubu and Suicide come across as pure rock & roll. If there is any flaw to the box, it's that most record collectors will already own the lion's share of these songs -- in fact, if they own Rhino's previous 1993 mul |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (12/25/03, p.112)
- Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Reissues of 2003"Rolling Stone (11/27/03, p.100)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...A greatest hits of what passed for punk at the time...gigantic, astonishing young-loud-snotty anthems by the Clash and X-Ray Spex and the Germs, but also Nick Lowe's wry power pop, Ian Drury's goofy disco and Television's guitar-hero acrobatics..." Entertainment Weekly (10/31/03, p.74)
- "...Simply top-notch....Any compilation that rescues both Television's 'Little Johnny Jewel' and Eddie and the Hot Rods' 'Do Anything You Want to Do' from obscurity deserves a coupla tons of praise..." - Rating: A |
