When I asked for her list she wrote me this:
Miss Cecil. I hope you don't mind that I asked my ex-husband, Santiago Durango, to make a list for you (since my essential punk list would have contained 10 Clash songs, which seemed much too boring for your purposes).
Here are some wikipedia links about him and his bands (cult faves here in Chicago during the 80's):
Santiago Durango
Big Black
Naked Raygun
These days Santiago spends most of his time being a very good father and trying to impart solid Punk Rock values to his (and my) sons. I believe he is doing an admirable job.
xoxoxo,

So without further ado, the fabulous list of Santiago Durango.
