Complete lack of polish and metal don't usually mix. Crossover thrash probably, but what's more hardcore than that?More metal than anything, but still awesomeness

I think both count. Stooges are called proto-punk these days, and Fugazi has to be at least DIY/punk.I don't know if either band exactly counts, but the Stooges and Fugazi are both awesome.
Bad Brains and Minor Threat both came out of DC and were key to my youth. Then Fugazi formed after Minor Threat broke up.
Bloodlet
my favorite was one truth by strife but would much rather listen to snapcase todayETA: if it is a 90's Victory band, I am pretty much a fanBloodlet

As a teenager, I was in the original 9:30 Club all the time in the 80s so my hardcore was DC-centric also. Bad Brains (even HR's solo stuff), Minor Threat, Government Issue, etc. Ian Mackaye from Minor Threat/Fugazi did great with Dischord records and kept a lot of bands stuff out there.I don't know if either band exactly counts, but the Stooges and Fugazi are both awesome.

You are really in my wheelhouse here. I was living in Minneapolis in the mid-90's when these guys owned the scene in that town. Them and Lifter Puller (which featured Craig Finn, lead singer of the Hold Steady). Saw them at least a dozen times, including opening for/ playing with Avail, Leatherface, Pegboy, 7 Seconds, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and others I can't remember.
You cannot #### with Avail's live show. Dear God.You are really in my wheelhouse here. I was living in Minneapolis in the mid-90's when these guys owned the scene in that town.

Nope. Best show I ever saw was Leatherface, Dillinger Four, Avail at First Avenue in probably 2000 or so. Mindblowing. Lots of bruises and ears ringing for two days.You cannot #### with Avail's live show. Dear God.You are really in my wheelhouse here.

Played on the same bill as those guys on multiple occasions. Awesome.Probably my #1 album of all time:
I saw Teengenerate open for New Bomb Turks at some bar in St. Cloud, MN in the '95 tour. Bought the Get Action LP and had Fink sign it. "Don't forget to wipe your ###. -Fink" Eric Davidson from New Bomb Turks wore my glasses for a song. Good show.Two personal garage punk (no HC) favorites from the 90's, among my favorites ever. Crypt records ruled! Exclamation points!!!!
Teengenerate - Get Action!
New Bomb Turks - !!Destroy-Oh-Boy!!

I don't want to be friends with anyone that doesn't like bad brains.I always felt like Bad Brains didn't get enough love. Maybe it was just the guys I hung out with, but I was the only person I really knew that loved that band, despite the fact that the whole crew liked punk and I Against I was a seminal album.
This is my favorite BB track:
They were great. To paraphrase Dash Rip Rock, Dr. Know shredded faster than Slayer. Bad Brains are cited as a major influence by all kinds of musicians like the Beastie Boys (they started as a hardcore punk band), Fishbone, Henry Rollins, Living Colour, Minor Threat and Ian Mackaye, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.I always felt like Bad Brains didn't get enough love.

Saw that one. It was really good. Late stage Lyme disease? Interesting. I'd never liked Bikini Kill back in the 90's. I actually liked Bratmobile more, for some reason. But that is a worthwhile documentary, IMOI watched The Punk Singer, a documentary about Kathleen Hanna yesterday. Really good.
I'm not arguing, just my opinion, I still have an S.O.D. shirt with that album cover that I wear todayComplete lack of polish and metal don't usually mix. Crossover thrash probably, but what's more hardcore than that?More metal than anything, but still awesomeness
Never heard of Dr. Know? Great band bro...never heard of
Could be the greatest punk/HC song ever, IMO. Heard it on the Rhino Faster & Louder comps they used to put out. Those were quality comps. Sent it along during a draft to somebody as my favorite. Awesome.
This is a freakin great record. This band has stayed pretty active, they've done several splits and joint songs in the last 10-15 years. This recent one is spectacular:Sheriff66 said:

Rebel Girl really is undeniable, in retrospect. I guess I never thought they were PUNK enough, being so affiliated with Sonic Youth and festival touring and stuff, even though I was dead wrong. And their songs were over three minutes long, IIRC!!! Forget that.Yeah, I'm not a fan of all their stuff, but "Rebel Girl" is pretty undeniable.rockaction said:Saw that one. It was really good.

I'm just realizing she's not married to the Beastie Boy who died.
That documentary is definitely a love letter. But I think a viewer can probably assume that, being married to a Beastie Boy, she's doing OK. Because of "You've Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party", ultimately. Oh the irony.Rebel Girl really is undeniable, in retrospect.

Ad Rock is still alive, BTW. It's not MCA, who passed from cancer. She's well taken care of, which is another irony they skate by in the film, which is another reason it is so interesting.
Posting from their show in Sf tonight. Mrs eephus and I are right in front on Diggle's side.The Buzzcocks will forever be my favorite punk rock band.
Killer record and I like that song a lot, thanks for posting itThis is a freakin great record. This band has stayed pretty active, they've done several splits and joint songs in the last 10-15 years. This recent one is spectacular:

Carnivore is one of my favorite bands of all time, just awesomeI'm a metalhead that grew up in the 80's and missed out on the real punk scene. I really wish I would have had those early influences but I was into later stuff like Bad Brains, Suicidal, SOD. I loved Carnivore (Pete Steele before Type O ) and think they don't get enough attention for their crossover. Another favorite was Leeway. I big song that gave a boost to punk with metalheads was when Megadeth did Anarchy.
I thought the most interesting part of the RocknRoll Hall of Fame museum was the punk section.
