76. Neil Young and the Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps (1979)

This half-solo acoustic and half-full band album is an important album for the 1977 punks. "My My Hey Hey" saw Neil Young saluting Johnny Rotten with the lines "the king is gone but he's not forgotten, this is the story of Johnny Rotten" and to Sid Vicious with "It's better to burn out than to fade away". The latter line was made famous again 15 years later by Kurt Cobain, who wrote it on his suicide note. With punk spirit, the album was recorded crudely and the electric numbers were played with heavy-distortion riffs that further had him immortalized as the mentor of grunge.
