Its a record I've only gotten into the past few years. Got into type
o later on as a youth and wasn't really as into the dark/gothy shit.
Got into Carnivore quite some time back, and was convinced to check
out SDaH by a fellow carnivore fanatic a few years ago. Was unaware
that it was tunes from a planned 3rd carnivore record, and not at all
gothy.

Great stuff. Ever listen to Detestation? 90s crust from portland.
Like nausea but without all the mediocre male vocals.

I've always been a fan of Brazillian HC for its rawness (even in
comparison to swedish or finnish hc) and these guys are one of my
favorite old bands. Some of the later stuff gets more melodic and
makes you wanna sing along in portugese, but the older stuff is raw
thrash, and its all good.

Don't know much about what's on most of their stand alone albums.
What's the big hit or two on that one?

------------------------------------------------
It's an '82 album, and the only song that got any attention, radio-
wise, would have been 'Lightening Strikes', but even that one I've
only heard a couple of times on the radio when it first came out.
'Bitches Brew' and 'Jailbait' are to other stand-outs, but really the
whole album is a pleasure.

All of these are fantastic, and except for Earth (which is relatively

The Pogues are quite possibly my favourite non metal band ever. Particularly
the first 2 albums.

The slaughterhouse is pretty weak IMO. I've only spun the earth
twice, as I've only gotten extensively into them in the last 2-3 years
after having heard earth 2 many moons ago (shortly after hearing
SunnO))) spout off about it)

As far as bands that wrote songs (in the pop sense), there was nobody
really touching Du in the 80s, not even the Replacements. I might be
tempted to rank Naked Raygun alongside them.

Knowing you like these guys so much, I'm kind of surprised you don't
dig Husker Du. Admittedly it wasn't cool playing poppy hc songs in
the 80s when everyone else was getting harder and faster. But don't
think about shit like bad brains, its not even supposed to be like
that, its more like the clash or replacements,

Just picked up the box set this weekend (finally) and pulled out the
first 5 albums to spin as well. This has been my work playlist for
the last 2 days, nothing but pogues.

You probably thought it was over-produced. It's one of my personal

Hm, I haven't even heard the Slaughterhouse. Or if I have, I don't
remember it. Must rectify this.

I have no problem preaching the gospel of Bad Brains. Best/most
important? Of what? It's hard to even classify them. Reggae/soul/
funk/crossover? If that's where they fit, then yes they're the
best :)

I don't dislike the Du, but they don't really turn my crank. Why? I
honestly can't say.
I'm a bit Tom-ish around punk, is probably the right answer. That is
to say, random and inconsistent :). I've heard most bands that got
any sort of attention in the scene from the 70's-90s, but don't have a
huge collection. Loved the first Offspring, hate all Green Day
(including the demoes), for example. Love NOFX, dislike Rancid and
most other pop-punk.
My tastes in punk (including all subgenres but not counting any
crossover) generally orbit around DK, Clash, NYD, Damned, Bad
Religion, Stooges, Misfits/(early)Samhain, Pogues, Murderdolls, NOFX,
Replacements, and Nomeansno.
(if Social Distortion counts as punk this week, then they're near the
top of the list of course)
Missing a ton here, but those are the bands off the top of my head
that I listen to most.

Rather generic late 80s/early 90s US Thrash. Hugely influenced by

I'd consider them a hardcore band, as I dont generally get into
anything past rock for light. There were a few other bands playing as
fast as they were as early (black flag, discharge, middle class) and
theres some bands that have better catalogs (black flag, minor
threat), but bad brains has the ability to make me completely lose my
shit out of nowhere from the second I hear it, which not a lot of
other bands do..

I gotta disagree. I think Replacements went indie rock much more
successfully than Du, but I'd take zen arcade over let it be.

I can get down with early green day and love nofx and the first
several rancid records. most pop punk from that era was bad, it got
really commercialized and watered down

The glove's been thrown down! I'll have to borrow zen arcade to listen
again, but I'd be surprised as hell if it beats LIB.

Yeah, I missed a ton here. Minor Threat of course, Minutemen,
Runaways, Plasmatics...it goes on. I tried to avoid getting into
hardcore, oi!, postpunk or Seattle folk punk either (cos the lists
just get too unmanageable at that point).
Fear ... yeah, although I'm surprised they're counted as influential
as they are. I think history just elevated them because they're "the
band came from." I like the first two (The Record is the second one,
right?)

Ah, ok. Yeah, BB are definitely more than just hardcore, 'cos that's
just two records out of their entire discog :)
Black Flag and Minor Threat's best are as good as BB's first two,
agreed. Although HR is the best hardcore screamer I've ever heard.
You don't like Rise?

I've been going nuts just listening to a bootleg of outtakes the past

Fair enough, you can't be listing all day (who can, besides ian?).
Those were just two I assumed you would dig, and was surprised to not
see listed.

The record is the first one. I think the big thing that plays into
their mythology is the SNL appearance. Also, I don't care about you
is one of the best songs of the original cali punk era alongside
Bloodstains and Kids of the Black Hole. I totally went crazy when I
was listening to the Despise You/Agoraphobic Nosebleed split and
Despise You covered I Don't Care About You. Also, this female fronted
band I saw open for the Queers last week covered it, and my drunk ass
couldn't get enough. My girlfriend probably got a lifetime's worth of
ranting about the song that evening.

came out a few months back, was kinda sleeping on it, heard good
things from a few people, noticed the LP version came with a CD, made
a mental note to get the vinyl, then promptly forgot all about the
album altogether.

Actually, I think there's probably enough interest on AMS at least.
Who wants to take a crack at a top 10 essential punk records list?
DC? Cailinsdad?
...Wyrd? ;)

Ah, right. I keep getting that one confused chronologically with More
Beer (which is my favorite...I think). It's been ages since I heard
either.

I'll at least give a good number of listens to anything SD puts out.
They've earned that much.

I havent heard more beer in forever, was always more of a fan of the
record.

Yeah! They did half a set of classic 90s shit with a few off the new
album, then a mini set with wimpy on vocals doing the rawer 80s stuff.

Absolutely. Were terrible live when I saw them last time, but the few
songs I've heard come on my girls ipod have been pretty good

I'll bite, this is off the top of my head though, so could be subject
to change.
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
Misfits - Walk Among Us
Stooges - Self Titled (this could so easily have been either RP or FH)
New York Dolls - Self Titled
Ramones - Self Titled
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
SLF - Inflammable Material
The Clash - The Clash
Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
Discharge - Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing
Mostly well known stuff, but it does seem as though the best albums
from the popular bands eclipsed everyone else in the punk field.

This is impossible, but off the top, I'll try to stick to punk and
early hardcore/punk full lengths and not deal with hardcore as it
developed through the 80s to the present
Bad Brains ROIR cassette
Adolescents - s/t
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
Discharge - Why?
Ramones - Leave Home
Blitz - Voice of A Generation
Poison Idea -Kings of Punk
Subhumans - The Day the Country Died
Channel 3 - Fear of Life
Angry Samoans - Back from Samoa
a lot tougher than I thought, so many of my favorite releases were
seven inches, theres not a lot of good actual studio lps.
dclizardking
I love that Buzzcocks album, I'm not bothered that it's a compilation.
It still gets regular spins 32 years after its release. I probably
should have included Siouxsie and the Banshees "The Scream" as it's
one of my favourite albums of all time, but I never like to classify
her stuff as I think she transcends classification.
TJ Xenos
> More records to confound Tom ;)
Satanic Slaughter- The Early Years: Dawn of Darkness CD (thrash/death/
black pre-witchery)
Witchery - Don't Fear the Reaper CD
Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream +3 2xLP

Amebix)
Amebix - Monolith LP (crust/metal)
Fall of the Bastards - Dusk of An Ancient Age LP (crusty black metal
from Oregon)
Noothgrush/Deadbodieseverywhere - Split 7" (noothgrush = sludge, DBE =
thrashcore)

more atmorspheric)
Alcest - Ecailles De Lune CD (blackgaze or whatever the fuck they call
it)

Last In Line - L'esercito Del Morto LP (One of the best HC bands/

NOFX - The Greatest Songs Ever Written By Us CD (punk rock best of)
Dillinger 4 - This Shit is Genius LP (comp and ep tracks)
Dillinger 4 - D4 The Bootleg LP (allegedly a BBC session, but
everything about the packaging is 1000% tongue in cheek, so who knows)

What we talk about when we talk about punk rock...
No hardcore, late 70's to 1980.
Ramones - Ramones
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
X Ray Spex - Germfree Adolecents
999 - 999
Young Loud and Snotty - Dead Boys
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys
Inflamable Material - Stiff Little Fingers
Blank Generation - Richard Hell
Go Girl Crazy - The Dictators
Los Angeles - X
additional mention
Pure Mania - Vibrators
Damned Damned Damned - The Damned
Pink Flag - Wire
I think that is as good a starting point for someone looking to check
out punk rock as any. I leave out Never Mind The Bullocks... because
I don't think the Pistols embodied the same spirit as these bands and
most have heard them anyway.
