This. I'll take the Circle Jerks over nearly every other hardcore band.

Rollins is what makes Black Flag for me. I really like Keith and Dez too (I hate Ron Reyes), but take any of their vocalists before Henry and have 'em sing something off Damaged, it absolutely pales in comparison to Henry. His pure rage and aggression as a vocalist (and on stage) was just what the band needed to match the music as the band's sound was expanding. I hate it when people give him shit for Black Flag "selling out" when they were making music that was hardly marketable at all with him.

I want a T shirt with that on it.

Lydia Lunch is a bore. She might not have been 30 years ago but the last twenty she's been nothing but.

who is that?

Anyone who doesn't smile when they hear the intro to Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' is not worth saving in a fire.

For fuck sake man, TELL ME! You can't say something like that and then remain silent.

AMEN were so badass.

naaaah

Zeropumpkins on...
Fugazi - very good band, sometimes a bit boring, but killer when they're at their best
My username - The best example of someone naming themselves after a band and then later regretting it incredibly. This name will forever be a burden for me on this board. No matter how cool I get, I'm still the kid with the pumpkins fanboy name.

If all music critics were made to listen to every album they reviewed while driving, things would be very different. 'Born in the USA' and 'Eliminator' would top every critics poll.

Haha I like that one.

to be honest, i have you much more associated with that Michael J. Fox avatar than your board name :)

I'm keeping the avatar, then :)

you just called me Scott?

:D

i have yet to listen to a record by the rolling stones.
same applies to the beatles.

Well you should, if only to put other music in its proper context.

holy shit


i love tom petty

I haven't listened to Born in the USA while driving (don't plan on doing it now either), but god, that album is shitty. It's a shame it has "I'm on Fire" is on it, which is a killer song.

Neutral Milk Hotel is unlistenable.

It's The Voice.
