poll is coming.. :rolleyes:

What's the vote for? Best cover? Worst production? Shiniest vinyl?

i'll take the 82 demos, rollins very low in the mix

look at the poll,
it asks for the "best release" - as in the music. doh.
common sense...

im not going to be a smartass and say a tie between my way and the process of weeding out, both for very different reasons. the first side of my way is awesome, very heavy, sabbath influenced stuff, but still undeniably black flag. the second side, meh. i love "the process.." because it showed how skilled the musicians, particularly ginn, in black flag were. this record is influential on improvisational hardcore big time. on the mindflayer myspace, they used to list the process of weeding out as their solo influence. i also love thetriple meaning, weeding out=getting stoned, weeding out the neanderthal hardcore kids who listen to nothing but hardcore, and weeding out rollins.

my war*, i kept saying my way, sorry

side two of my war and the process of weeding out...

...wait, live '84 is there? that one!!

henry rollins can fucking eat me.

My War by far.

82 demos is pretty much the fucking best.

my war followed by the process of weeding out. if family man didn't have the spoken word i would include that too. the family man cover is by far one of the best covers ever.

slip it in without a doubt

My war is one of my favorite albums of all time

I love how the sincerity of the music comes not just from Henry's crazed screaming, but also from Greg's guitar. You have to feel those songs to play them the way he does. If I'm not pissed, there's no way I can play my war and make it sound good.
The sign of a great guitar player? I think so. (greg, not me)

My War is a complete mindfuck.

And that's what makes it so amazing.

I seem to always be the one vote for "In My Head" every Black Flag poll. To me it has the perfect amount of hardcore and dissonance. Every song on there is way different than what the other albums offered.

Out of all the BF polls there have been here, I'm surprised this is only the second "best album" poll.

Damaged of course. The rest are shit.

i'll go ahead and say my war, just cause i love that song soo much, but i prefer the first four years by far. live on, dez!

i'm surprised family man has as many votes as it does. i know side two is killer but side one is pretty lame.

I liked the comp CD and Damaged, but nothing after that.

Why isn't Damaged on the list?
