    I saw this video on June 9th, 2018. I wanted to learn more about rock and roll and Black Flag caught my eye. A year later upon graduating high school I would hear Damaged in its entirety in June 2019. Its raw power blew you apart with an intensity I hadn't heard before, not even in metal. The album was punctuated with witty lyrics of satire as well as deep emotional ones of the human condition. Henry snarled like a caged animal. I was hooked and got My War in its entirety sometime later as well as the work of the first three singers. By late July, I had heard and loved Slip It In and by the end of the year I had heard the entire catalog. I don't know what changed that summer, it just made sense

      BrainEatPenguin well compared to the jerryfits I can’t argue. Graves wasn’t bad for what It was. They put out better music than the jerryfits, but totally different than the Danzig misfits. All they had the do was change the name and do their own thing and not cash in on the misfits name, or rather the fiend skull logo.

      Conor Elmes DK and Misfits are hardcore? Not really, maybe DK was, but old Misifts was just Ramonesque pop-punk with shocking lyrics, and now they are a bunch of screamo try-hards (I apologize if you are a Misfits fan). Western Addiction is my definition of hardcore. Anyways, I didn't even mention them in my comment, I just said pop punk has all the right to be included in this list if the music is good enough. And my ears tell me, it is. Don't go ahead and presume what I didn't say.

    It’s weird that every time these lists are compiled the Damned are always overlooked. They were the first British punk band to release an album. And they were the first to tour the United States. They were also far faster and louder then most of their contemporaries. And most of the early West Coast punk bands describe going to see the Damned as a pivotal moment in their decision to start their own bands.

    I used to live in a white bread, upper middle class tourist town and they had Sunday afternoon concerts at a pavilion downtown. Imagine my surprise when I saw flyers around town saying that the Misfits were playing downtown on Sunday. There was no picture of the band so I asked around town and everyone said "Yes, the Misfits are playing downtown on Sunday afternoon!" Well it turned out this band called "The Misfits" was a group of senior citizens that played ragtime music.
