k-krack · 03.17.2007, 05:43 PM

1- Minor Threat (d'uh)
2- Government Issue
3- Youth Brigade
4- Circle Jerks
5- Dead Kennedys (if they count)

Everyneurotic · 03.17.2007, 06:15 PM

i wouldn't count hüsker dü as hardcore, yes, land speed record is off the fucking charts but everything else is definitely not hardcore.

right now, i think, in no order:

# minor threat
$ rudimentary peni
+ zyklome a
& negative approach
= stillborn christians

ask me again in a couple of days.

demonrail666 · 03.17.2007, 06:21 PM

+1

Maybe find somewhere to stick Circle Jerks in there too though.

Minor Threat, Black Flag and Circle Jerks pretty much cover most of the bases of H/Core

jakeonguitar · 03.17.2007, 06:48 PM

Circle Jerks
Minor Threat
Bad Brains
Black Flag
Dead Kennedys

In no particular order.

Good to see Circle Jerks getting so many mentions.

Everyneurotic · 03.17.2007, 07:12 PM

two bonus bands:

- gorilla biscuits
+ outo

I've got the world up my ass
and i'm gonna move fast
be the first
won't be the last
i've got the world up my ass

society is burning me up
take a bite, spit it out
take their rules
rip 'em up, tear them down

twisted mind, withered brain
you know I'm going insane
I just tell them to get back
when they tell me how to act
i've got the world up my ass

you know I've got the world up my ass

yeah. i admit that was a liberal list of hardcore punk.
i think i was thinking about the propulsive rhythms and
minimal chord changes as factors. i intentionally picked
bands from before and after the era of nyhc proper or
whatever your local hardcore punk scene was known as.

Everyneurotic · 03.17.2007, 07:19 PM

i think they moved to maryland, but they started in dc; they used to poster flyer in coke machines that read NO SCENE, NO TREND to piss off ian mackaye and the rest of the harDCore punks, this was before they started the band; then they took the name.

I was just making a light-hearted reference to a hardcore thread I started a while back. Me, Sway and Savage Clone had a heated debate about hardcore and its meaning and origins.

HECKLER SPRAY · 03.17.2007, 07:21 PM

-Sum 41
-Blink 182
-Good Charlotte
-Offspring
-Green Day
Oh, you said the top 5 ? Sorry,...
