VOID - Their side of the Faith/Void split is the most urgent, fucked-up hardcore i've ever heard.

NEGATIVE APPROACH - ready to fight, sick of talk, pressure, nothing... Some of my favourite songs of all time.

DRI - Dirty Rotten LP

RED KROSS - 1st 7"

ADOLESCENTS - Adolescents

Bad Brains up to Quickness is some of my favorite music period. Nothing charges me with so much energy as that stuff does. I can listen to Fugazi; Repeater, Jesus Lizard; Goat and Liar, and Scratch Acid again and again and again as well.

i like born innocent better, but the first redd kross 7 inch was amazing too.

One of these Saturdays I'm gonna check out the hardcore matinee at ABC NO Rio...one of these young bands has got to kick some ass.

I agree 100%

They are easily in my top 5 bands ever and Earl is my third favorite drummer EVER right behind John Bonham and Dave Grohl.

Long live Earl Hudson!!!

I should drop some obscure band but I think I am just gonna go with MINOR THREAT, or maybe Indigesti. Much love to Black Flag also, much time spent being angry in my room and singing "Listen and listen and listen... and I get FED UP argghhh"

Minor Threat is a hair behind Bad Brains for me....very hard to choose.

anyone like roach motel? classic florida hardcore.

no. Roach Motel is objectively really fucking bad, thats part of their charm.

yeah most of their stuff could be considered awful, but they did have some classics and they are still pretty fun to listen to.

I also like Keith Morris era Black Flag. I should buy The First Four Years.

discharge + flipper + black flag
kick.
ass.

Hmmm theres something about Negative Approach that just isnt that urgent to me . I'd call the Nihilistics , Void , and 'some' Black Flag and 'some' others urgent , theres something about NA's vocals that sound like hes pissed off about his meatloaf being burnt , pissed off that he got cut off in traffic, pissed off that his favorite football team losing , somethign not as vital like poisoned plasma in the vein as other bands in comparison . The way i see it , hardcore is easily divided in somethign as simple as the difference in this vocal approach .

Dead Kennedys

Yeah DK are great.

they were fucking awesome but they don't fit the mould of a typical hardcore band.

Altern-8

anyone like JFA?

hell yeah

you should
