I liked them more a few years ago, but metalcore started boring the snot out of me a long time ago. I actually traded my copy of As Daylight Dies in at the local FYE and got Morbid Angel's Formulas Fatal to the Flesh instead. Their cover of "Holy Diver" was pretty awesome though, and the video is hilarious.

Killswitch Engage? I am seriously freaked out by their inclusion.

I really admire the dedication you have put into this thread but am seriously perturbed by the inclusion of this band.

lol, I'm trying to be inclusive, Howard Jones has a hardcore background...and yes I know its hard to defend...but they have written some really good corporate rock songs!

It can't all be Broken Bones & DRI now can it? We must speak to the...diversity of the hardcore universe...yes that's it.

If its any consellation the poser bands on this list are few and far between, and there nothing really worse than Killswitch Engage, maby one band on par and that's as bad as it gets.

x9x3.x scrubbed

bob.

let me clarify my previous statement

Catharsis, Gehenna, and Fall Silent went on tour in 97 or 98 and the tour opened in Reno (two basically Reno bands)....the kids in Fall Silent had some problems with a militant straight edge group in town called Unconquered (some bullshit about selling out)...the Unconquered guys showed up in hockey masks with bats and blocked the doors to the club....Mike Cheese (lead singer of Gehenna) freaked out and threatened to kill them all (not an idle threat...that guy is seriously fucked in the head)....they left but one of them went back in to catch Catharsis....during the opening band (Fall Silent) he shouldered Mike....in return Mike stabbed him four times in the stomach and the place became one giant bloody fight

in short paid to see Catharsis, showed up to show and got involved in some absolute crap that has nothing at all to do with me....left with a swollen face

your list man....ramstein and engage and all

BUT

93!?

seriously your list has been great and i would have no complaints for your taste....cept maybe not including Quicksand ...but Gorilla Biscuits at 93!? what the fuck!....every time i hear that horn intro my brain goes nuts....i literally cannot drive and listen to Start Today....i am at this exact moment listening to them....and have listened to that album twice tonight....while driving

again your list....and i seriously cannot wait to see your top ten.....93...wow

also which singer of Dag Nasty....i assume you mean Dave....and i can see your point about Civ sounding a bit like him

93?????

also just a side note in my opinion they wrote probably one of the greatest pro vegan songs ever.....just for the line

"i'm not trying to press my will
i'm not the first to say THOU SHALL NOT KILL!"

Lol, this is actually really good this happened, as I had my original 100, but started to second guess myself and move things around.

I orginally had Gorilla Biscuits a little higher & no Killswitch Engage, but I started second guessing. I was actually tempted to put Killswitch Engage ahead of Gorilla Biscuits just to see what would happen for a laugh...but thought better of it, lol

So consider Gorrila Biscuits moved back to were it was and if there is enough fury over Killswitch Engage being on the list I'll scrub them.
,
Remember this was intended to be an interactive thread. for who am I to proclaim the greatest hardcore bands. So when people protest I move things, none of this don't get to precious over your own thread nonsense.

I am flattered though that people are following my thread, I orignally thought it was just going to be a loner show. So a few things to note, I do include some of those pesky emo metalcore bands, because despite popular myth, some of them are really good, and I have one topping the list, and although I didn't intend to low ball GB, there are some big names that are pretty low, so it should be noted that I've really lowballed a legendary California punk band at spot 91, so I'll deal with the flack when I get there

On Dag Nasty... Dave Smalley didn't much care for the other guy.

As for my top 10, I've got some Asking Alexandria, some Black Veil Brides, some Limp Biscuit...there a hardcore band right??? Man Its got me so pumped! I can't wait!

In the meantime consider the below your new 93

William_the_Bloody

93.The Adicts Genre (Punk rock) , Ipswich UK era 80's &

Vice Squad Genre (Punk Rock, Bristol UK, era 80's

The Adicts:

Popular British punk rock band that dressed sort of like the characters in A Clockwork Orange, a bit too quirky for me, but they had some good tunes.


Easy way out, va la Revolution,



Johnny was a soldier



Easy way out



Vice Squad

UK Female fronted pin up punk band of the 80's.

Last Rockers

Janszoon

^Ah, I love those guys. They actually wrote some great stuff that was really poppy too, like this:

92. Gang Green Genre (Hardcore/Crossover Thrash) Massachusetts USA, era 80's}

Scream Genre (Hardcore) Virginia USA, era 80's

People always talk about New York Hardcore, but Boston has been just a big a mecca for punk & hardcore over the years. Gang Green has been one of the more notable bands to come out of the Boston hardcore scene. We've already had a few bands from this area, so not the first, and defiantly not the last band on the list to come from the "State of Massuchesettes!"

Alcohol



Haunted House



Skate To Hell



Scream

Yes Dave Grohl was a drummer in this band. I noticed the view count spiked about a week ago, which means somehow everyone has figured out that I am covertly revamping the list.

I therefore have a favour to ask. I use to have a version of this song "Fight" that started with this guy talking to the band stating...

"Yeah, I like a lot of punk rock you know... Elvis Costello, The Clash, Duran Duran, Billy Idol. I got all the Cars records too. D'ya know sometimes when you guys play kinda fast... seems like it ain't go no beat, just ain't got no beat."

Does anyone know what album this version of the song is on. It is before the 90's, because for the life of me i can't find it. Lost gem.

Fight

Janszoon

Fixed your spelling of "Massachusetts" for you. Sorry, it's my home state.
