Yeah, I like Big Black, Unwound and Melt Banana. The Boredoms are yet another of those bands for me that I've wanted to check out for a long time but never got around to getting anything by. Any recommendations on a good album to start with?

Of course a lot of people (read: punks) don't like it because of the female vocals and probably prefer hearing about anarchy than feminism, something that is actually relevant to their misogynistic lives.

I'll have to check out
Penis Envy, it sounds like it would be up my alley. I certainly don't mind music having a message, but it does annoy me when the political screeds (or religious screeds or whatever) are placed ahead of making good music.

That's weird. It seems like most people at least like "Love Will Tear Us Apart".
