Black Flag
If there's already a thread I'm sure the merging will be swift and professional...
There's alot to talk about with Black Flag, not least the fact that they were far from a conventional punk band, after 'Damaged' at least. Before getting into them I read tons of average reviews of 'My War', 'Slip It In' and so forth - but all these albums turned out to be provocative brilliance, alternating between explosive rage and a sucking mire of noise... Greg Ginn was a true original. It's apparent from interviews that Rollins hates England and the English, which is disappointing (being limey scum myself) but I still admire his all-consuming passion and the total disgust he had for the hardcore flock. We'll pretend the last 20 years of solo releases never happened... my war slip it in family man |

Pretty much the best rock band ever.
 ^ One of the most intense performances I've ever seen.

Amazing. H.R really doesn't care about his little short-shorts falling off does he?
they are my late-night music of choice at the moment. 'Rat's Eyes' makes even more sense at erm...2.40 in the morning. |

They were the gateway to 80s hardcore for me so I guess they'll always hold sentimental value. My War and Black Flag are favorite -and as you guessed it I prefer the Rollins years. I think Damaged is the most accessible and My War is their best. I was really surprised to see how many here liked them in that recent poll thingy.

Greg Ginn is one of my favorite guitarist. Henry is underrated.

Henry > Ron > Keith > Dez, IMO.
