Hmmm, top 5, I have to disagree. The legend of Bad Brains has grown exponentially over the years, but I'm trying to judge everything by the output of stand out songs.
Although they were defiantly more talented that a lot of other hardcore bands. I think their musical compositions lacked good hooks. I against I and Attitude are good songs, but they don't stand up to something like Police Truck or Holiday in Cambodia.
I think they play some top notch dub though. There was a struggle in the band whether or not to go more reggae, or into hard rock funk direction. I think the wrong side initially one out.
Anyways, I'm really digging the Ghetto remix. Not to sound like a broken record, but if I get enough input at the end and redo the list, they will defiantly be moved up.
