Compare that to Led Zeppelin, who were excellent musicians, had a sound that was very fresh and different for rock music at the time and had a massive (if sometimes polarizing) impact on rock music since the early 70s. If we're trying to be "objective" here then we failed, this is all about preference, because I don't care how much you hate zep, there is no way in hell Black Flag are better than Led Zeppelin.

And then theres Johnny Cash, the mere suggestion that Black Flag are better is not only absurd, its insulting and completely insane.
lol.

Johnny Cash was influential, but it's not like what he did took a lot of effort. I mean even by country standards, you take a generic chord progression, have a guy rambling in a low-pitched voice about his amphetamine addiction or whatever else, throw in the most boring guitar solo humanly imaginable, more rambling. Wash, rinse, repeat.
