10 Classic Albums That Are Criminally Short

10. Milo Goes to College - Descendants

Punk rock as a genre is not necessarily known to be the most long winded of genres in the first place. After all, when you have someone playing that fast over each and every one of their songs, there's only so much that your average music fan can take in all at once. Then again, Milo Goes to College feels like it's done right as it seems to be getting started.

Along with fellow punk acts around the same time like Bad Religion, the Descendants were equally informed by the Ramones as they were with acts like Minor Threat, taking bits and pieces from hardcore and mixing it with some of the most aggressive playing of the time. In the lyrical department though, there was a far more bratty sentiment being laid down here, with each line sounding like it could have been written by some whacked out suburban kid.

While not getting the proper credit, this is probably the clearest antecedent to pop punk since the Ramones, with Tom DeLonge citing this record as one of the first things that influenced him to play guitar when putting Blink-182 together. Whereas most kids decide to kick back and try to ignore their problems, this is an album that's facing them head on and willing to go down with the ship if they have to.
