If you begin and end with this album,...
 "Youth Anthems for the New Order" ...you will have their one record that many consider great or essential. The second album wasn't as good. I can say that "I Hate Hate" is something of a pump-up jam for me. It's get the pulse quickening.

I should say...so as to avoid confusion...They only ever had this one album, but other collections exist, and the ones that include tracks not found on "Youth Anthems" are not nearly as good.

i agree, i'm not too fond of their later stuff, they have their charm but they are a bit tiresome.
usa is one of my favorite punk songs ever. |

I've got a discography lying aroud somewhere; its pretty good. I'm not sure if it has their LP on it, but I Hate Hate sounds familiar.
I may have to break that out this morning. |

I saw them play at the Channel in Boston with the NYC Killdozer and 2 Boston bands, maybe the STrawdogs? It was not the best experience there were a bunchof NYC skins that came up so there was a lot of tension between the NYC and Boston skinheads (who were dickheads anyway) we didn't like Reagan Youth too much the singer really got into a rock star mode and then they did a Sabbath cover which seemed very wrong at the time, plus their skinhead fans were beign very aggressive and obnoxious. The NYC Killdozer was awesome, one of the most memorable sets I've seen, the singer took Iggy as his starting point and was just going nuts the whole set culminating with him jabbing a screwdriver into his forehead repeatedly until he was bleeding...

Reagan Youth was a band like most HC bands...shoulda stuck to EPs.
I recommend "Teaching You the Fear" by Really Red as a superior HC heyday full-length LP. The best songs on the Reagan Youth LP sound a lot like it, but Really Red were musically and philosophically untouchable. I rate that LP higher than anything by Black Flag or Bad Brains. And official reissues of it are easy to get.
