20 Punk Rock Albums Turning 20 In 2020

20. Relient K - Relient K

Relient K now has 11 studio albums under their name, and it all started with a self titled masterpiece. The group's debut full length is comprised of a mixture between new songs offerings and re-done versions of demos from an earlier release entitled All Work and No Play. Additionally the band pays homage to the renowned American 80s sitcom "Charles in Charge" with a charged up cover of the show's iconic theme.

Not content to stop with a tribute to a beloved TV show, the album also makes references to a number of other pop culture throwbacks. The opener entitled "Hello McFly" is a reference to everyone's favorite time traveling teen 'Marty McFly' and the thirteenth track entitled "Nancy Drew" is certainly a shout out to the titular character in the detective based book series by the same name.

Their initial offering was an indication of what the future held for the pop punk pioneers. Though the self titled album didn't match the heights of future records like Mmhmm and Forget And Not Slow Down it gets props for kicking off the career of Relient K.
