blood for blood is by far the best of the "newer" hardcore bands

the reason i find them to be so good is cuz they are true to what i believe is hardcore/punk
like the bands i mentioned

I would say Black Flag, Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, and Minor Threat. I can't get it down any further.

Cro Mags would be the alpha male of the group if I wasn't considering genre purity, but I hear enough metal in them that it kind of evens it out for me.

flag were definately the most influential. they were the first ones to tour every little shithole in the country. imagine how many bands were started after flag hit their town. as far as best, that's pretty tough. kinda like asking what the best set of titties are...

Alright, I'm throwing my final vote to Black Flag. If you read "Get In The Van" by Rollins, and you subtract a few points for some alleged storytelling, you still realize that these are the psychopaths, as someone mentioned earlier, that paved the way and turned hardcore from a bunch of isolated but friendly scenes into a national scene.

It also makes sense to remember that there wasa time when playing this music, or even listening to it, was a very dangerous proposition and these brave motherfuckers put there nuts on the line every night, played to hostile crowds, with hostile bands, and never gave up. At one show in Denver in the early 80's, some smartass nazi skinhead (of which Denver had MANY) was holding up a sign at Rollins that said "Denver skins, the few, the proud, the nazi's" and what did Rollins do? He said "give me your biggest, toughest skinhead and the rest of you step away. He proceeded to kick the shit out of a very tough motherfucker. Hard to imagine it's the same guy but you can't top something like that.

Yeah, you have to give credit to Black Flag. DIY hardcore wouldn't be the same without them. Although my favorite HC band is still Negative Approach

Negative Approach
Poison Idea
Sheer Terror
The Fix


Black Flag was amazing until Rollins joined. The combination of his personality and Ginn's "experimenting" ruined that band for me. Has anybody ever read the interviews with Greg Ginn where he talks about how full of shit Rollins is and that almost all the shit Rollins wrote about how hard his life was is complete bullshit? Fuckin' priceless. That and when Rollins was doing all those ads for the Gap still cracks me up to this day.

If you listen to some of Rollins spoken word he makes his childhood sound like life in Mayberry. It wasn't till he joined Black Flag and moved to LA and experienced life there that he turned into a dick.

That's actually what I'm talkin' about. The time after he joined Black Flag. Foe example, he says all this shit about how he lived in a shed behind Greg's parents' place, but Ginn says it was actually a converted garage that his dad used as an office and it had AC, carpeting, everything you could want in a place you were living in FOR FUCKIN' FREE. Anyway, that's just one example of what I'm talkin' about. I actually kinda liked Henry back when his last name was Garfield and he had a band called S.O.A. I think his ego just grew bigger than the world when he joined Black Flag.
