then again it does make for valid social commentary, just not so much on the protest side of things.

Good point. But in my own little world, with the way I grew up, almost anything consisting of social commentary was inspiration for protest.

that's fair.

i came up the complete opposite way. always trying to maintain order and limiting the rocking of the boat. i guess that's why most protest songs rang hollow in my ears, but social commentary i've always enjoyed.

Sun City Girls had kind of a "**** this establishment" attitude, but that was more of a joke.

Oh, and Black Flag if they haven't already been mentioned.

I think that might be the first Black Flag mention. Anybody brought up Leftover Crack?

BTown · 12-08-2009, 05:33 PM

If Leftover Crack is going to get a mention surely Choking Victim deserves one too, I'd give that whole scene a mention.

Some more:
Operation Ivy
D.R.I.
Circle Jerks
Assorted Jelly Beans
Minor Threat
Fugazi
Youth Korps
Wingnut Dishwashers Union
Screeching Weasel
Limp Wrist
and although no ones knows about them really The Goats.
