let's compile a list...

...a list of the 10 absolute essential hardcore records.

this could be an evolving list... but what are 10 records that absolutely no hardcore kid should be without?

here are one's that i think should be up for discussion (in no order):

cro-mags - age of quarrel
gorilla biscuits - start today
bad brains - self titled
minor threat - complete discography
judge - bringin' it down
dag nasty - can i say
uniform choice - screaming for change


i know that's only seven... i really wanna see what everyone else says. maybe we could actually compile a required listening list.

I'd add

ensign - direction of things to come
champion- count our numbers
ssd -the kids will have their say
redemption 87 - s/t
shai hulud - Hearts Once Nourished With Hope And Compassion

this is fucking hard! i would add

dys - brotherhood
youth of today - can't close my eyes
slapshot - back on the map
bold - speak out
integrity - those who fear tomorrow
sick of it all - just look around

maybe some will disagree :

Evanescence-Fallen..hahaha
With honor-Heart means everything
Strike anywhere-exit english
and uh...whats ssd?

with honor is good, but I don't think it's good enough to be required. the verse full length is the only thing that's been released lately that I would consider.


ssd. society system decontrol. Most likely the second straight edge band ever. They were from boston and before they turned crappy they put out some good records.

it's tough... i think it's a lot easier to fall back on older records that have stood up to the test of time.

there are records that are new that i think are amazing...but i didn't include them because if we are talking about essential, we are talking tried and true.

newer stuff i love: (but not adding to the list)

modern life is war - my love my way
verse - rebuild
strike anywhere - change is a sound



not that new:

lifetime - hello bastards

it should be really easy to find. just don't buy power.

adding

avail - 4am friday
comp- where the wild things are
embrace -s/t
token entry - jaybird
7 seconds - the crew

it's gonna be tough to whittle these down to 10.

It's sort of a compilation cd by Taang! of a few of their records/recording sessions.
It sucks. I think Taang! only sells that one.
I guess you can find the originals on vinyl all over the www.
