Good times!
Yeah, they just played In This Defiance in its entirety in Philly (at a bar called Kung Fu Necktie)... I would have loved to go, but I am so old.

11.x Bad Brains - The Big Take Over
Was on the fence about 12.. I wanted to take something from Repo Man, but there's not a lot of options left, I really love the title track though I've taken it in drafts here before..f it
12.x Iggy Pop - Repo Man
Now I have to throw China Girl back, there's too much Iggy

@Mike Damone gets credit for breaking the seal but I am also going to pick up the Modern Lovers' Pablo Picasso as a makeup

I have very mixed feelings about this band, but I really loved this album when it came out and there is no denying its impact on the punk world...

Long Island is far away. Well, not really but it seemed like it was when we were driving there for a show. This was a time without GPS so we had to rely on printed mapquest directions that were never really accurate. Anyway, on Long Island they had this place called the PWAC. It stood for People with AIDS coalition. No idea who thought it would be a good idea for these people to rent a space and put on shows, but they did, and there were some awesome shows. Here are some old posters including Fugazi
The place was so big and I just remember playing basketball with the guys from H2o before VOD went on
Anyway, the band I am picking here is from Long Island and when they started playing the place erupted. Epic night of hardcore fun
13.X, Vision of Disorder, DTO (CHOOSE THE STILL 1995 VERSION PLEASE. THE STILL ALBUM IS FAR SUPERIOR THAN THE S/T ONE), PWAC

I feel the same way - based on the time of my life it was released I had a bunch of fun times listening to it though.

That Smash album is awesome. And there is nothing wrong with The Offspring. Really good band. I saw them in Arizona and was going to choose them but like Kid Dynamite, they got the chop.

I hate the Offspring. I saw them once by accident ages ago and they were amazingly bad. sounded like their 3rd week of practice.
edit: I was already getting jaded on music when they popped big though. I bet if I was 10 years younger, I would have loved it.

Funny, but serious.
Anthony Fantano reviews Honeys
From a mostly positive review, a funny line.
"One single word comes to mind: and that word is finesse. Because this band does not have a scratch of it."

Fantano is ... something.
I love listening to him talk about albums that I know really well. But if I'm totally unfamiliar with the record he's talking about, I don't have the patience to listen to him go on and on. That probably says more about me than it does his reviews, though.

Definitely a worthy pick for this draft. I can't stomach this band anymore, but they lit the ####ing world on fire with it in 1994. Soooo many good memories listening to this...
Ron Swanson

Part of my disdain for them these days is how scripted their shows are. Saw them do Smash in its entirety a couple years ago and it was the most antiseptic show I've ever seen. Of course, it didn't help that they had the misfortune of having Stiff Little Fingers and Bad Religion open the show.
Herb
Footballguy
Who the hell do they think they are that they could follow those 2? No way to prevent a letdown there.

I saw them a year or two before Smash came out as then-unknown openers for some show, I can't even remember who was headlining. The only memory I have is how bad they were. This probably also gave me even more leeway to auto-hate (keep in mind, I don't need much encouragement there, to begin with) Smash once they got huge.

Yeah, I was just listening to him talk about my potential next pick today. I think he missed the boat on it, but he's usually pretty interesting. That said, I see what you're saying. The reviews are rather long. As for the bolded, it's not just you. I shut them off halfway through, too.

We saw the Butthole Surfers open up for Stone Temple Pilots. The breakdown of the crowd between those two bands was pretty hilarious.

Mine came when Faith No More (still love this band, Angel Dust was criminally underrated and is one of the best albums of the 90s) opened for Metallica with GnR headlining. FNM and Metallica killed. I fell asleep during GnR. So disappointing. I was amped for that show for months.

The Offspring makes me want to listen to the Damned's Machine Gun Etiquette because of that cover of Smash It Up (Pts. 1 and 2).
That's the Pavlovian reaction I have when I hear about the band The Offspring; is that darn cover introducing me to a great song and getting me to buy a four cassette sort of box set by the Damned. It was worth it.

Not sure that this is the pick that I want, but we've had Earth Crisis and VOD on this page, so it seems fitting to take
12.14 - downset. - Against the Spirits (1996)
Not my favorite song, but seems the most punk.

for sure that would be the most downset song. i originally read about them in Metal Edge or something and they were described as Rage Against the Machine on steroids and, being the SJW I was way before it was cool, I thought that sounded like a band for me. Then I remember hearing that opening to Anger and saying, hell yes, that is 100% the band for me.

Yes it is. I see the membership card in my wallet expired in Nov 2016 so it's been three years. We were thinking about going to a Nekromantix show there a few months back but weren't in the right frame of mind to deal with Gilman.

I think it's twenty if you want it to be, drop out if you want after fifteen. That's how I understood it.
I'm goin' twenty, and like Acer, it still won't be enough.

I haven't made my official distaff pick yet (although X and Jawbox have female members). Once again, the category is Eephus' brief brushes with SF punk luminaries.
12.xx Hole - Teenage Whore
I met Ms. Love circa 1984-5. According to Wikipedia, she would have been 20 years old at the time. I was living in the 7 Rooms of Doom on 22nd St. with David, who we last saw with Cintra Wilson earlier in this thread.
Dave and Courtney wandered in off the street one night. We had an unused room in the flat that had his artist supplies, an old Omega B22 photo enlarger that was never used during the time I lived there and a closet full of vintage suit and overcoats abandoned by a previous roommate. It also served as our designated drug room. David disappeared into the room to do drug prep stuff and Courtney hung out with us in the living room.
Ms. Love honestly didn't make much of an impression on me but Mrs. Eephus recognized her immediately when she appeared in that terrible punk Western movie "Straight to Hell" a couple of years later. We checked and David confirmed they'd had a hot couple of weeks together and that Courtney Love is nuts. The rest of the world discovered this a few years later.

12.xx - TSOL - Code Blue
I remember scoring a Punk-O-Rama CD for free at a concert in the 90's. it was the first time I heard this song and remember thinking how awesomely ####ed up it was. The sound and energy was so different than anything I had heard to that point and I am pretty sure this is when I started exploring early 80's punk deeper.

Sweet. Love the Sonics.

Yep, keep on moving it down the line.
This comes from the pride of Kingston, PA
Off of the Spring Songs single. A little Weezerish/post-hardcore emo from within the decade.
Title Fight - Be A Toy (2013)
eta* Careful of the video. Cheesy on-the-road footage of twenty somethings kicking it in cities unknown.

Big fan. Sax player, longtime commercial airline pilot and all around cool dude Rob Lind is the only original member still touring but the Sonics always put on a cooking live show.
