Man I'm just saying that A* Bad Brains and Black Flag were huge influences on Hardcore Punk music.

And B* Nirvana was a great band... altough prolly not THE most influentional.

Don't try to claim that you were "once in my position" or that you "remember when I liked those bands too."

I will claim that actually. You're probably older than me, so it's sad that you think Black-Flag was influencial to any good music.

I love Nirvana by the way.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

So because you don't like the bands they influenced that means they have no influence?

Thank you

Not only did they influence Hardcore Punk, but also the entire grunge movement. Their album "My War"'s slow and desperate dirges on the second side influencled several of the Seattle musicians in the formative years of grunge music. Crawling out of the mud of that scene was Nirvana and Pearl Jam (two genuinly great artists) who... love it or hate it... influenced record companies into creating a safer alternative to grunge and alternative rock music: The radio ready "post-grunge" genre, which is almost ALL of what they play on the radio.

Almost all of the bands I listen to we're influenced by the velvet underground, so that's my awnser.

As in rock music that's specifically influenced by the blues.

I would have thought that the difference was blatantly obvious to someone who listens to the white stripes.
