Best Black Flag Album
 

Poll Coming!

i have in my head and six pack, so i cant really vote since those are the only albums i have

Damaged is the only one that has me coming back for repeated listens. Maybe I haven't really given the other ones a chance, but there is something about them that just doesn't seem right.

First Four Years is an interesting document but BF didn't really hit their stride until Rollins joined. Damaged is one of my favourite records ever.

My War was a fantastic follow-up.

But it was pretty much downhill from there, with In My Head being mediocre fuzzy heavy metal.

First Four Years is my current favorite, but their best album is Damaged.

i voted for damaged but my current fav is the live album who's got the ten & a 1/2

I forgot to put the live one and Process of Weeding out. Oh well. My favorite Black Flag album is In My Head because it covers alot of different styles that weren't in previous albums. From In My Head to Drinking and Driving to I Can See You. Loose Nut is a very close second for me.

The Process of Weeding Out was good. Who's Got The 10 1/2? I didn't like, but Live' 84 was a great record.

Is Live 84 the same as the live DVD thats out? If so then I didn't like it.

I don't know, I haven't seen any BF DVD's.

Live '84 was originally a cassette only release and quite hard to get hold of at the time, but I thought it was a great recording of a band at their peak.

i voted 1st 4 years.

Slip It In just over First 4 Years for me.

my top 3 are first four years, damaged, and then live in 84. rollins was good but frankly he doesn't hold a candle to dez. he fuckin' ripped it UP!

wow... that's exactly what i was going to say... stop stealing my thoughts already.

Apart from the Keith Morris tracks, First Four Years is not good. Tinny kiddy punk.

"let's do it for the kids"

The ads are quite funny though.

ads... like commercials?

where?
when?

Sonic Youth has re-enacted the second half of Family Man on stage before
I like Damaged the most

First Four Years was originally released as a double LP: three sides music and one side radio ads for their shows.

I presume you have the CD and the ads weren't included?

That was Everything Went Black.

Everything Went Black is a good album.

damaged 1000 times

that was everything went black, and yes, i have that lp without 'black flag' printed on it (due to legal reasons at the time)...
i don't want to get into a punky-cred pissing contest or anything, i just thought maybe ginn was letting the man use black flag songs for gap ads or something like your hero rollins:)

should i get the first four years next~?

DAMAGEEEED

As far as later songs go Black Coffee is a classic.

STARE AT THE WALL
THROUGH MY HEART STAB!

I am such a dozy twat. All this time I've been calling Everything Went Black, The First Four Years.

I take back everything I've said about TFFY, as I've never heard it!

Everything Went Black is the record I don't like.

As I said: dozy twat!

I don't know why, but I like My War better than Damaged. I find the slow songs quite interesting.

I agree.

www.myspace.com/thedrips Listen to Teenage Sex Camp. Sounds like the best moments of Black Flag.

this could not sound anymore like the bronx unless it WAS the bronx

You're right, they sound like Bronx b-sides. But the album itself has a rather different feel than the Bronx, especially the Bronx new album. Both great.

Edited: You do actually know they're two members of the Bronx, yeah?

MY WAR

haha, i didn't but i was assuming that there had to be some member cross over

crypto do you have to make a new sig every day?

i was thinking about how much credit is chalked up to rollins for making damaged so great but, though he was awesome, alot of the extra heavyness and aggressiveness came from adding dez on guitar and dez was twice as vicious as rollins was on vocals

I barely even heard Black Flag, but I know their whole history from this book my friend (littlepuppetboy) lent me. I want to check out some of their stuff

and what book would this be?

nig heist 4 lyfe, bitchez!!!!
