Best of Oi!/RAC

I'm working on a list of the top releases from the Oi! genre, including its naughty offspring. Curious to what you would feature as the best of the best. Here are a handful suggestions:

Blitz (uk) - Voice of a Generation (1982)

Cock Sparrer (uk) - Shock Troops (1983)

The Blood (uk) - False Gestures for a Devious Public (1983)

Skrewdriver (uk) - Boots And Braces / The Voice of Britain (1987/1987)
[technically these are two separate compilations, but iconic enough to be included here]

Fortress (aus) - Fortress (1992)

White Noise (aus) - The First Assault (1989)

Neat and comprehensive list for RAC, thanks for sharing. There's a few I haven't heard, so will do some listening.

As for the more "regular" Oi!, I'd also add the following:

* The 4-Skins - three first EPs (the ones with Gary Hodges on vocals). Especially "One Law for Them" b/w "Brave New World" (1981).

Angelic Upstarts - We Gotta Get Out of This Place (1980)
