Hardcore Punk

There's nothing like living in the past.

Celebrate my punk roots by voting for the hardest of American hardcore from the early 1980's.

Black Flag does it for me

Savage Clone · 12.06.2006, 08:14 PM

Oh, I get it.
American.

At the time, I suppose I was the most infatuated with the Dead Kennedys and Suicidal Tendencies before they went metal.

I liked DOA best of all though, but they're Canadian.

It's easy to forget how good ST were, because they were good so briefly. By the time they released their debut LP the metal was beginning to show!

I don't know if I'd call DOA hardcore, but they were the dog's bollocks at the time.

"Bloodied But Unbowed" is hardcore to my ears.
Certainly not all their stuff is, though.

DRI always seemed cartoonish to me, even as a teen; they seemed to be doing the "speed for speed's sake" thing, and their songs just sounded like a mushy blob to me. Of course, they eventually crossed over to metal as well.

Black Flag biatch.

Savage Clone · 12.06.2006, 08:23 PM

Damaged is the only Black Flag album I liked.

Have you heard The First Four Years? I like it more then Damaged.

Savage Clone · 12.06.2006, 08:25 PM

I have, but it's the guitar sounds I can't stand with them.

Really? I never noticed the guitars sounding much different from the ones on Damaged.

Pookie · 12.06.2006, 08:28 PM

Black Flag weren't so great until Rollins joined. He gave them balls.

Up until then they were a run-of-the-mill punk band. The First Four Years is an interesting document, but nothing on it compares to Damaged or My War.

Savage Clone · 12.06.2006, 08:29 PM

I just meant Black Flag in general. I think the thing with Damaged is that I heard it at "the right time," and now it reminds me of that time. I think I was 14.

k-krack · 12.06.2006, 08:30 PM

I went with Minor Threat, easy. But I love Husker Du, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag.

nomadicfollower · 12.06.2006, 08:30 PM

Yeah. I used to be more into Damaged, but lately I've been enjoying The First Four Years. Maybe it is the fact that it's less agressive sounding then Damaged. More 'run-of-the-mill'.

John Violence · 12.06.2006, 08:50 PM

I like In My Head and Loose Nut the most but I guess it's not considered Hardcore.

What about this album?

Onani Nic · 12.06.2006, 08:58 PM

No way is the first four years run of the mill. Nervous Breakdown, Wasted and Fix Me are fucked up! More fucked up than Damaged.

But I would have voted Void, The Adolescents, Negative Approach or the Misfits (early) above all of them. Or even the first Descendents album.

EDIT: Add Bad Brains to the list.

John Violence · 12.06.2006, 09:00 PM

Has anybody else picked up the new Bad Brains DVD yet? It's so fucking good.
