20. G.B.H. ,Genre (Hardcore) Birmingham UK, era, 80's/90's
One of the big three British hardcore bands from the 80's, I could not possibly create any self respecting list without putting them in the top 20, that being said, there was a notable drop off in the quality of their work by the mid 80's, which has to be taken into account.
There first three releases Leather, Bristles, Studs, And Acne, City Baby Attacked By Rats & City Baby's Revenge remain absolute classics, but both Midnight Madness and Beyond & No Need to Panic(great albums otherwise) suffer from low production quality. This would be followed by A Fridge to Far, a record that is so poorly recorded & mixed, its hardly worth the listen, it's a shame because there are some really good tracks on the album trying to get through. They'd recover by the 90's, but by then punk would fold in the UK.
