I have recently started to Black Flag. Love them so far! Any other similar bands like them? I'd love to widen my music library!

What era? Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, M.D.C., Off!, and all the hardcore staples for the earlier stuff. Later Black Flag I'd suggest like looking into Flipper, Saccharine Trust, and maybe some Melvins.

80;s West Coast Staples

Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, D.O.A. (Canada), Fear & Suicidal Tendencies were the big names on the coast outside of Black Flag.

80's East Coast Staples

Bad Brains, The Misfits, Agnostic Front, Minor Threat & you may want to try the Cro Mags if you like something heavier.

UK, The big 80 names out of Britain.

The Expolited, GBH, Discharge & Broken Bones, Amebix and some would throw Napalm Death into the mix, but there much heavier.

That should get you started.

Black Flag used to be one of my favorite bands! I liked their spoken word/instrumental album Family Man a lot, but obviously Damaged is their best. I never understood why so many people were against Henry Rollins, I always thought he was really cool.

I don't find Damaged being obviously their best record. I enjoy My War much more and think it also had a greater impact on the next generation of bands (in some aspects it is a 'grunge' record). But the band had so many different phases that it is hard to pick up a best record in Black Flag discography. Depends on taste, really.

Damaged may be their best hardcore (short, fast and loud) record. I find My War and Slip It In more interesting because they really created a sound of their own.
