from the late 70s until now. it doesn't matter if it's chugga chugga metalcore band or a party thrash band that is a big trend now in hardcore.

aside from my top 3 (black flag, minor threat, bad brains). i will have to go with negative approach. their first ep is just perfect punk rock. fast, angry and noisey. i still think ready to fight is the most intense and best rock song ever.

i think gorilla biscuits would come after them.

I really like Fall Of Troy. They aren't my typical type of music by any means, but they have a great sound I love. And I know, they aren't HARDCORE hardcore, but since (1) thy are considered post-hardcore which must be some sort of derivative and (2) 7 Seconds is considered hardcore and there isn't a thing hard about them, I think I can count this one.

you really think of naked city as a hardcore band?

[Mrs. Butcher]

they definetly have hardcore influences, particularly in the aggression in the songs.

i guess, i just dont think of hardcore having avant garde jazz rhythms and instrumentation, i consider them more of a free jazz grind band.

[Mrs. Butcher]

it's pretty much impossible to categorize them, they borrowed from so many genres, in a similar way to the Minutemen (but sounding completly different) who I wouldn't say sound like a hardcore band but they belonged to that scene.

yeah, minutemen and husker du

[uhler]

as for metalcore bands my favorite would probably be the first cave in record and then botch.

husker du and rites of spring would def. be up there as some of my favorites too. discharge is one of the only english hardcore bands that i like.

[jimbrim]

bad brains are my favourite. i've been listening to a new band from london called dirty money who are well worth checking out.

[Mrs. Butcher]

though Husker Dus first album is very much straight forward hardcore, but they evolved into something much more interesting/important.

anyone want to buy my old deadguy shirt off of me for about 5 bucks (plus 2 dollars shipping)? it's in almost perfect condition and i never wear it. it's the "death to false metal" shirt. it's size small.

I don't think I like any one hardcore band that much more than other hardcore bands to claim it ass a favorite.

Bad Brains and Minor Threat are pretty good though.
