The Clash actually had Bad Brains open for one of their shows during their 1981 run at the Bonds International Casio on Broadway. Other openers they picked included Lee Scrath Perry, Dead Kennedys, The Fall and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five!

That Minor Threat release has a very strong case for being the most quintessential hardcore album of all time, so as great as London Calling is for a *hardcore* bracket I would’ve gone with minor Threat.

been spinning a few of these records today, The descendants, Circle Jerks, Bad Brains.ight have to agree with the Bad brains. with that record containing some riffs that remind me of some stuff that some bands riffed on through death metal, the record is tight.

counteracted by some of the records reggae tracks, makes it somewhat more chill.

[@bobertrobertson130]

that stooges record was literally the blueprint

[@martinirving2839]

I would argue Fun House has more appeal and greatness to Raw Power. Raw Power was mixed incredibly bad by Bowie and later on by Iggy himself. We've still never collectively listened to the actual Raw Power record when you think of it.

Propagandhis how to clean everything is up there. I like that there was more of a focus on riffage than your typical punk band, the message is clear and unapologetic, for 1993 the production was quite good too. Yea, the vocals are still terrible it's punk.

A lot of Americans here who don't seem to know the difference between punk and hardcore punk.

[@SubparLoki]

Picking iggy and the stooges over black flag is crazy to me. And I fucking love the stooges. To me that flag album is the perfect hardcore album, before they slowed it down and spawned sludge metal and grunge. Granted the stooges made the blueprint, but still… It feels weird imo to call damaged overrated when compared to my war; I see them as both 10’s. But ig I’m a huge flag fan and a huge Rollins fan, so naturally I gravitate towards that stuff. Stooges also hella underrated as a punk band

Is This Real? a truly great album, but I don't think of Wipers as purely punk, they evolved beyond it, I think of them as a post-punk band. Likewise Wire, Pink Flag is a 10/10 album but they were already moving out of the boundaries of punk by then. Maybe we should have had Rotting Fruit for Dead Vegetables instead of Descendents twice?

@@theDutton you should try Gang of Four's "Entertainment!" It put Wire to shame and is the best example of what punk should be. Has never been imitated or bettered to this day.
