Early black flag was great but they were in constant transitional phase before rollins,,Damaged was the band at their peak.

Eh. Henry sounds raspy/tired on much of the album and the mix sucks, and not in any "omg it's so lofi and kewl" punk rock sorta way.

My War is better. Admit it.

Also, the Misfits were better than every band you named sans maybe The Ramones.

ADMIT IT.

I agree with you that Henry sounds tired on Damaged. I prefer the Keith Morris/Chavo/Dez era vocals personally. I'm not a Rollins fan, although I like some of the Loose Nut album.

I don't agree with you about the Misfits though. I consider them to be one of punks most overrated bands. They have a couple of okay tunes like Some Kinda Hate and Teenagers From Mars, but to me their records sound rushed and shitty. They ain't no Damned or Ramones. No way.

The ramones rule! They combined 1970s punk and retro nostalgia better than anybody. End of the century proved they could do 1960s Pop with the best of them.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Agreed. Pleasant Dreams is one of my favorites.

The queers and travoltas may not have been in the first wave but the talent of joe king and perry leenhouts is staggering. Also how were the surf punks not a legit punk band when they DIY and were one of the pioneering groups along w the weirdos and dickes??

I wouldn't consider the Surf Punks a 'pioneering' group (I like them though, so don't get me wrong). They just remind me more of bands like Blotto (I Wanna Be A Lifeguard) rather than bands like The Germs or Fear. However, I like some of their stuff. The "Oh No Not Them Again" album is an entertaining record.
