@Bikeage Milo Goes To College is one of the albums that transitioned me over from alternative bands, Sebadoh, Lemonheads, Smashing Pumpkins, Afghan Whigs, into being full on into punk. I skated as a kid in the late '80s & '90s, so I was on a constant search for the punk rock sounds of the skate vids, especially bands which sounded like Descendents, but punk was dead in the UK.
The only place that stocked it in Liverpool was an indie records shop called Probe and then it was only on vinyl. My record player was so cheap those records sounded even more raw and crackly than their original recordings. Bikeage is a truly inspired choice, lots of people would opt for other greats off the album e.g. Catalina, Marriage and Hope. I'm glad you chose Bikeage, Milo should have named that song 'Hopeless (Girl)'. It is possibly my favourite pick of the entire thread.
By the late '90s you could buy punk rock CDs in the UK, as easily as PlayStation games.
Me and my mate used to hammer out our own cover of NOFX's Bob and Linoleum, on two acoustics, when we all used to go on Surf/ Skate holidays and have beach parties in Newquay.

The Ramones have been mentioned twice now, by @The_Fox and @Corbie , I loved the sheer fun of the Lookout bands embracing the Ramones sound, it reached a peak in the late '90s, but seems to be less prominent in punk today, (excluding Green Day of course).

@Bikeage and JamieO: Count me in on the Descendents love. The first time I heard them I was unimpressed, but they quickly grew into a favorite.

@The_Fox Your Mudhoney selections are really good, their early stuff sounded quality, but they were not as consistent later on.
@MERG Circle Jerks is another great name for a band.

Below is Dillinger Four and the boozily titled Doublewhiskeycokenoice. Ignore the fan made video, which bears no relation to D4 or to the song's lyrics and don't worry the cat is alright in the end. Concentrate on listening to the tune instead. Enjoy.

Does it get more classic than this for Social D? No, it doesn't.
