in my opinion this is one of the most quintessential punk rock albums....if you have not heard Minor Threat you have not heard hardcore music

this Discography covers their two full length albums, one EP, and singles/compilation tracks....it has 27 songs and is a mere 51 minutes long

i can still remember the first time i heard this album and the feelings it invoked in me.....and after all these years i can still scream along and still know every word to all of these tracks....thus an absolute classic

keep in mind much of this was recorded when these guys were mere teenagers...and although there is major influence from bands like Bad Brains and Black Flag....this entire album really stands on it's own....the guitar has such a wonderful fuzz element it could almost be psychedelic.....were it not played at blast beat quickness and full of anger....the bass and drums are text book hardcore beat keeping....at a time when all of this was being invented....then there is Ian....his presence as vocalist is demanding, in your face and unrelenting....his lyrics are amazingly mature, often self reflective, always angry

when it comes to hardcore punk this is a must
