The Damned’s first three albums were as punk rock as puck rock gets with their first being released in 1977,  months before debuts by The Sex Pistols or The Clash.  They were truly at punk rock gourd zero.   By they time they got to their fourth album, 1980’s The Black Album they had completely changed direction and become a full blown goth band.  This change would define their next decade reaching its nadir with 1985’s Phantasmagoria which we deep dive into for HH episode 90.
