Your Favorite Hardcore/Punk Album?

I love all forms of punk, hardcore, crossover, etc etc. But my favorite full album from beginning to end is....




Earth Crisis - Destroy The Machines

Since I first heard it in 1998, this album still surprises me 10 years later with its heaviness and all out rage. I really want to kill someone by the end of this one.


What is your favorite hardcore/punk release?

BTW, Sax's is Minor Threat's Complete Discography.

When it comes to "hardcore:"
-- I haven't heard it in years (since my old cassette crapped out and I've never upgraded to CD) but I suppose my favorite would be Corrosion of Conformity's ANIMOSITY.

-- I'm not sure if S.O.D.'s SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE would qualify as "pure" hardcore, but that's definitely up there.

-- Carnivore's RETALIATION album has a lotta hardcore in its metal too.

Those were the days. Skank or die!!

As for plain ol' straight up punk rock, it should be pretty obvious by now to everyone around here that I worship the ground the Ramones walked on. Doesn't matter which Ramones album, they're all good. Lawd, how I miss that band!!

I love the song "Bloody Lane" by Crashdog. Ya gotta love punk mixed with bagpipes. It's just to much fun!

Two words: Dropkick Murphys

One of my favorite punk albums from beginning to end:

my absolute favorite hardcore album... Cro-Mags - The Age Of Quarrel.

I'm not sure it qualifies as hardcore, but one that came to mind was:
S.O.D. - Speak English or Die

One that definitely is hardcore that came to mind:
focused - Bow

Minor Threat would definitely be top 5. But don't do that to me. There are so many important albums that address so many different subjects on the ills of society. All I know is, properly harnessed and directed, ANGER IS OUR GREATEST WEAPON!! Anger is an N-R-G!

Another of my favorite punk bands are The Dead Kennedys. How can you not like songs like Holiday In Cambodia, California Uber Alles or Kill The Poor?

I like mostly hardcore/punk but with metal(. Some of my fave´s are:
THE EXPLOITED:DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR
AGNOSTIC FRONT:CAUSE FOR ALARM
ENGLISH DOGS:FORWARD INTO BATTLE
CAPITOL PUNISHMENT:WHEN PUTSCH COMES TO SHOVE
TAMPERE SS:their early singles
FINAL CONFLICT:ASHES TO ASHES
EXTINCTION OF MANKIND:BAPTISED IN smurf poo
BLACK UNIFORMS:SPLATER PUNX ON ACID
PLASMATICS:BEYOND THE VALLEY OF 1984
etc.........

For punk, a big toss-up between.......

Dead Kennedys--fresh fruit for rotten vegetables
MDC-- Now more then ever
Circle Jerks-- Golden shower or hits
The Vandals-- Greatest hits

For Hardcore, either Eighteen Visions-- Lifeless(EP). That band had so much talent then they had to throw it all away and conform to Emosim, or Earth Crisis-- All out war, Zao-- All else failed, Raid-- Hands off the animals.

Couldnt agree with you more on the Earth Crisis.

That album shocked the hell out of me! I was a fan before this one, and there was no warning that they were going to turn up the metal and brutality like they did. It's such a killer album, though.

I don't know if I could ever choose a favorite, but outside of Earth Crisis, here are some of my favorites.









Now stop creating similar threads that you've already done.

Oops....

Anyway....

Isn't there a thread about a Kirk Hammett amp you have to take care of?

Is it me, or has this forum turned into the cafeteria at lunchtime at St. Tardo's School for the Gifdid?

Cro Mags - Age Of Quarrel
Black Flag - Damaged
Snapcase - Designs For Automotion

I don't like hardcore music but my favorite punk album is "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death" by Dead Kennedy's.

If SOD is hardcore, then they are my favorite. I've always just considered them thrash.

Anything from Fugazi up to In On The Kill Taker. Steady Diet Of Nothing would probably be my choice as the favorite.
I also love the Bad Brains. I Against I would be my favorite from them. Though I have to credit that first album as the thing that caused me to check out the whole hardcore/punk scene.
Haven't listened to it in forever but I used to be really into Dag Nasty's Field Day.

This whole post rocks.

Fugazi would be my number one band for this genre. The 13 songs compilation of their first two ep's is a classic, never to be topped. Waiting Room, Bulldog Front, Bad Mouth, Margin Walker, Provisional.... all of them....

Minor Threat were good, but Fugazi was better, IMHO.

Dag Nasty was another band I thought no one else but me knew about. Wig Out at Denko's was my fave.

Other bands?

How about GBH? City Babies Attacked By Rats and City Babies Revenge were the one's I was most familiar with.

7 Seconds was another cool one. New Wind especially was a great album.

D.I.- Team Goon is an excellent release.

D.R.I-Crossover

I think that Earth Crisis album is a MONSTER! I also enjoy:

Cro-Mags - The Age Of Quarrel
Agnostic Front - Cause For Alarm (though I'd say this falls into the Crossover catagory)
Broken Bones - Losing Control (again, more Crossover)
Gang Green - Older...Budweiser (trend? more Crossover than pure hardcore)

How about Bad Brains - Rock for Light? One of my favorites.

Discharge-Why
Discharge-Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing
Biohazard-S/T
Verbal Abuse-Just An American Band
Siege-Drop Dead
SSD-The Kids Will Have Their Say
Poison Idea-Pick Your King

Well my username pretty much gives the answer.
