The great hardcore/punk countdown

109. Alice Donut Genre: (Post hardcore/Psychedelic punk/alternative) New York, era 80's /90's

Quicksand Genre: (Post Hardcore) New York, era 90's/00's

Alice Donut:

I'm not sure what genre label these guys are stuck under now, back in the day I just saw them as an alternative punkish band. They were defiantly unique, and will always be remembered for the somewhat brilliant but yet disturbing song Lisa's Father. (I always liked their jazzy instrumental of Black Sabbath's War Pigs)

Lisa's Father

Bombing Sarajevo

War Pigs

Quicksand

Quicksand was originally slated for the list, but as I am not a fan of post hardcore, I ended pulling them for Dr. Know. Anyways I thought I'd slate them in with another NY band.

Sorry about that. I misinterpreted your THE as sarcasm, I wasn't trying to be smug. The problem with the internet.

When I was a teenager their were a lot of too cool people in my neighbourhood with shaved heads who saw the Cro Mags as the ultimate hardcore band, but by putting down other bands who didn't fit thier mold.

So I like the Cro Mags, no CM hate here, cheers.

Nobody is suggesting you re-arrange anything.
This is your thread, you list it how you like. I'm just unsure as to why you think people discussing it is a bad thing.

Please don't get precious over your own list, you'll ruin what is so far a great thread.

It's your thread, I think we're all enjoying reading your particular take on these bands (I know I am at least). No need to change it fit the opinions of others.

Heh. No worries. I misunderstood you as well. That's the internet for you!

No worries I mentioned rearranging, because I originally had the idea of the thread being interactive but I'll just keep plugging along.

108. Comeback Kid Genre (Hardcore), Manitoba Canada era, Modern &

Cancer Bats Genre (Hardcore) Ontario, Canada era, Modern

My opinion of this band has greatly changed since the release of their last album Symptoms & Cures which had some real killer tracks on it, to the point that I know think they're one of the better bands in North American hardcore at the moment.

Do Yourself a Favour

G.M. Vincent & I

Crooked Floors

Cancer Bats

When I was originally doing this list I got the impression that a few people were waiting for me to add this band, I can't get into them myself, but they are quite popular so...

i agree with everyone else man....your thread, your list, your order

otherwise i would have flipped out when you said Quicksand would not be on it and you put dr Know so low in the list

as to end the discussion about Cro-Mags...John Joseph returned after their second album and has been the driving force since....i think for some strange reason there is an allure around them with bonehead tough guy bull****....probably due to their own interests in fighting and martial arts.....plus the music was a bit ahead of its time.....but i also think that they have always had a very positive message which often gets lost in the somewhat misrepresentation of the band

the thread is great....don't change a thing...just remember you're talking about hardcore and punk rock....and we fans tend to be quite emotional about our favorite bands

....as judging by your taste and knowledge....i am sure you know

so on that....i saw Comeback Kid when they opened for the reunion show of Gorilla Biscuits back in 2003 or 4....i have to say i was not impressed with them....but as i listen to the first two tracks you posted i think i'll give them another spin....it may have beeen just the anticipation of finally seeing Gorilla Biscuits

107. The Diesel Queens Genre (Punk Rock), California USA era, 90's &

The Autonomads Genre (Rasta Punk/dub) Manchester UK era, modern

DQ:

A guilty pleasure. (No one has added Assman, that is their best song no buts about it)

Drink N ****

Man/Boy Love

OSH

The Autonomads

Rasta punk band from Britain

Dubbin Up The Downfall

Spot on appraisal of Comeback Kid, man. I liked them a lot before Symptoms & Cures, but that album took my love for them to a whole different level.

106. SNFU Genre (hardcore/melodic hardcore) Alberta Canada era, 80's, 90's &

MDC Genre (Hardcore) California USA, era 80's

SNFU:

A classic Canadian hardcore band well known south of the border that I think is better than a lot of the second tier US hardcore bands like MDC, Naked Raygun ect, so I put them on the list.

I forget

Victims of the Womanizer

She's not on the menu

MDC:

Speaking of second tier bands, jk. Actually there was nothing second tier about MDC, they were a great band, it's just that their not as infamously famous as bands like The Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, ect. I remember being about 13 or 14 and looking at the alternative tentacles mail order list and wondering what MDC stood for, lol.

I remember
