I don't understand what's so tough about this choice. Yeah, these are two amazing bands, but without Sheer Terror, I doubt that Blood For Blood would
have existed. At least not in any form that sounds anything like they do/did.

what i don't understand is people who automatically assume that other people should or do have the same tastes/opinions as themselves. i got over that
"everyone who doesn't like what i like is stupid" attitude years ago. i know that comes off as rude, but it's really not meant to. i think my soft
spot for bfb comes from the time period they came out in. by the time i heard them, i already thought hardcore was pretty much dead. i know people now
look back on the 90s bands with nostalgia now, but honestly i think most of those bands were and are complete shit. it was pretty refreshing to hear
blood for blood and realize that it wasn't just me who felt the same way. it reminded of that feeling i got when i was in junior high just getting
into hardcore punk, that excitement at discovering new bands. did they reinvent the wheel? of course not, it was just a time and a place in my life.
the fact that i still chose sheer terror says a lot about how i feel about both of those bands.

Sheer Terror.Blood for Blood is one of my favorites,but come on this is no contest.Rob said it best in the Sheer Terror dvd."Haaadcore i mean ,to me
its dead,i despise the term but Sheer Terror epitamizes the term Haaadcore"
I never liked Farakhan cause he called me the devil,and I never liked Hitler cause he said I was god.

Well put Brian. I jsut remember the very first time I heard B4B on the Victory sampler. I had fucking goose bumps. I'll never forget it.

I'm sitting this one out. I've heard way more BFB than Sheer Terror, but Sheer Terror is BFB's reason for existence.
I'm not qualified to vote.

I'm
assuming this was directed my way, but maybe not. Anyway, I honestly feel the same way about Blood For Blood as you outlined here. I'm pretty sure
I've laid that out on here before but when I first heard them I had completely given up on HC and was listening mostly to Oi and other stuff. A friend
of mine kept throwing new bands on that he thought might "bring me back", but it all sounded like shit. Then one night running around, somebody we
were giving a ride to asked my friend to throw in a tape he had on him and Blood For Blood was on it. Man, my ears perked right up and I was trying to
peg them as an old band I had somehow missed out on until I found out more about them. I felt a huge rush knowing that there was at least one band
coming out at that time that still had the feeling that I heard in classic bands. Sadly, they were one of a handful of bands and not the leaders of a
resurgence of good HC as I was hoping, but they still deserve all the credit in the world for what they did.
As far as thinking people are stupid for not agreeing or having the same taste as me, if I actually did that I would hate almost everyone in the
world. I've got plenty of hate in me, but that's just pointless. I understand that people have their own taste and come into these things from
completely different angles, but it's pretty obvious to anyone who takes a moment to think about it objectively that certain bands would not have come
about had other bands not existed previously. That's not a slam on anybody, it's just part of the evolution of music.

Well, by my tally it's Sheer Terror by two votes. If it had been a tie I would have voted, but since it's not....I won't 
I wanted to do this one because I knew it would get the blood pumpin in all of us geezers.
