I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think The Clash's first 5 albums are all great albums.

List is blowing my mind. Most of these bands were pretty crappy, but I had no clue a lot of them were straight-edge back when I was far more into that sort of stuff.

Yeah, I find that a good amount of straight edge bands tend to be overly preachy and kinda bad. Of course, there are some gems, but I also find that those bands usually aren't as outspoken with the straight edge stuff.

I cannot see you being straight edge at all. I mean that in a good way, of course.

Antischism is really cool, I really like the dual vocals in particular.

****, I mean there's some cool bands on that list, but the majority of that was really bad, and I had no idea half of those bands were straight edge

Listened to Witch Hunt's sophmore album earlier. "War-Coma" is awesome.

Listening to Gray Matter's debut right now, fantastic. Also got their 1986 EP.

Great band.

I have that Gray Matter album, Food For Thought, on purple vinyl. It's pretty awesome.

As for Witch Hunt, they've never made a bad album.


In a completely unrelated random fact I learned recently, Craig Ferguson and Peter Capaldi were in a punk band together called "The Bastards From Hell" a long long time ago but they never recorded anything. Or at least nothing I can find. This disappoints me because I want to know what that would sound like.

Same here.

Saw OFF! play a few weeks ago and have been listening to the CD collecting their first four 7"s pretty consistently. It's Keith Morris from lack Flag and Circle Jerks playing with guys from Redd Kross and Rocket From The Crypt. Live every single one of their songs started off like Nervous Breakdown and the CD is... slightly more diverse. Great early 80's throwback hardcore punk.
