Conflict or Crass?

Crass were a product of their time and I think that their ideals far out weighted their musical ideals. The music was always secondary to them, even though their ideals were fully realised.

Conflict are one of the few bands that have stuck to their original ideals, despite being forged well over 20 years ago.

Crass are the band we should all aspire too but Conflict are the band still out there doing it without compromise.

Conflict for me.

Crass aren't just accussed of being Hippies; Penny freely admits to it. Accept it as a fact that the primary purpose of Crass was to spread hippie politics. Music and all else was secondary to this.

And, in regards to what they were advocating; talk about a failure. Whether it be the idiocy of their anti-Capitalist rhetoric, the endless screetching about an impending environmental disaster of monolith proportions, etc.

...and yet, despite this, they're thought of as a good band.

I Like both bands. I would lean towards Conflict having seen both live as Conflict shows are Other worldly. Saw a guy jump off their amp stack and compound fracture his leg what could be better.

whos better none of them. I used to like crass, but steve ignorant, and penny rhimbaud sold out, and now the crassical project costs much more than their motto of no more than $2.00, and conflict is pro-life, so I dont like either of them now.

crass is better though
