So sad that Minor Threat can't be discussed without all of the Straight Edge culture bull$hit being thrown around.
Even the other band members besides MacKaye (y'know -- the guys responsible for that incredible music?) had little to no interest in straight edge. And even MacKaye distanced himself from it as much as possible by the mid-1980s.
To me, Minor Threat were and are the most important HC band. The musical "movement" they helped start is infinitely more interesting (and positive) than the XX stuff.
