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.

I don't think Rollins is half as underrated as people make him out to be. I've found it to be a pretty even split .

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