Stormy Was Right

[version sound]

Well, partially. Listening to the Hot Bodi Gram material at the reunion convinced me that it's NOT hardcore. And no, King Face never was. Most of the other DC bands of the period I'd still consider hardcore, though, except for the bands that weren't.

[xxxMidgexxx]

Hot Bodi Gram is in the top 3 Dischord albums ever released.

FACT!

[yourenotevil]

most dischord records from 86 to 89: hc in spirit, boring rock and roll that did not age well in reality.

That's totally bonkers. The only record that really falls into that category is Fidelity Jones.

not really. i may be being a bit harsh. they were still releasing good stuff in 86, but you can see the drop off came pretty quickly. by the early 90s, this label was churning out mostly garbage. here is a quick once over:

1985 15 Minor Threat Salad Days
15½ Scream This Side Up Rough Trade Records
15¾ Reptile House I Stumble as the Crow Flies
16 Rites of Spring Rites of Spring
17 Beefeater Plays for Lovers
1986 17½ Mission Impossible /
Lünchmeat Thanks / Getting Shit for Growing up Different Sammich Records
18 The Snakes I Won't Love You 'til You're More Like Me Discard Records
19 Dag Nasty Can I Say
20 Egg Hunt Me and You
21 Gray Matter Take it Back
1987 22 Rites of Spring All Through a Life
1986 22½ Soul Side Less Deep Inside Keeps Sammich Records
1987 23 Beefeater House Burning Down
24 Embrace Embrace
25 Scream Banging the Drum
26 Dag Nasty Wig Out at Denko's
26½ Ignition Anger Means / Proven Hollow Ig Records
1988 26¾ Shudder to Think It Was Arson Sammich Records
27 Minor Threat Live
28 Fire Party Fire Party
29 Soul Side Trigger Sammich Records
30 Fugazi Fugazi
31 Ignition Machination Ig Records
1989 32 Various artists State of the Union
33 Three Dark Days Coming
1990 33⅓ Vile Cherubs Post Humorous Relief Cherubic Delusions
1989 33⅔ Holy Rollers Origami Sessions Adult Swim Records
34 Soul Side Soul Side
35 Fugazi Margin Walker
36 13 Songs
37 Fire Party New Orleans Opera
38 Soul Side Hot Bodi-Gram
1990 39 Ignition Orafying Mysticle
40 Minor Threat Complete Discography


how many of these records do you bust on a daily basis? i really like ignition but the earliest records are the best ones. dag nasty got boring really quickly. soulside-the first lp was the best record. i like trigger, bass and some of hot bodi gram, but there was also a lot of filler in those records. does anyone(or did anyone ever) listen to fire party, the snakes or the holy rollers? i used to like the three record, but it has aged badly.


compared to the first six years of dischord, this stuff is just not as good. compare this to almost any other punk scene in the world in 86 to 90, and there is no contest. NYC and UK/earache blow this shit out of the water. any record swiz put out beats any of these dischord records in my book.

[77clash]

I am down with this list. The rest of it I could do without.

there's good stuff, but comparison to 80-86 is not possible. i would throw out the MT discog as well since that was all released before.

[JGJR]

To be honest, I love Minor Threat, The Faith and Void (Scream, too, but they kind of encompassed both eras) but could take or leave most of the rest of the pre-Revolution Summer Dischord catalog (I like it to varying degrees, but am not crazy about any of it like a lot of you are). My favorite Dischord stuff/era is Rites of Spring, Embrace, Gray Matter, Dag Nasty, Ignition, Soulside and later Shudder to Think, Jawbox, Fugazi, et al. I play that stuff a lot more and it speaks to me more as an almost 40 year old than the earlier stuff does. Sorry, but it's true. I'm not saying I like everything from that era, BTW. I never got into Fire Party or Kingface, for example. But overall, I prefer the more melodic stuff.

[The Snake]

While I love some Dischord bands from 85 - 90 period (mostly Embrace, Dag Nasty and Ignition), I listen more the early stuff, especially The First Four Years CD.

[JGJR]

Well, partially. Listening to the Hot Bodi Gram material at the reunion convinced me that it's NOT hardcore. And no, King Face never was. Most of the other DC bands of the period I'd still consider hardcore, though, except for the bands that weren't.

The real question is why does it even matter?

because one day the apes will look back on this and want to get their facts straight.

Most labels would be honored to have a roster of bands/releases like that. That is an amazing list of records and I listen to most of them regulary.

Because several people got their panties in a twist when DC bands of that era were called hardcore.

how many from 87 to 89 though?

[version sound]

Hardcore was pretty shit in that era (and every era) compared to '80-'84. DC was the best thing going by a wide margin.

What genre would you classify the Bad Religion releases from 88-90?

i disagree, there were lots of good hc scenes, just nothing people on this board(except like 3 other ppl) care about.

[xxxHunterxxx]

I love most of the records on that list. I don't listen to them all that often now but when I do, I'm immediately transported back to my teenage years.

Can't argue with that. I liked the comp Stormy made, but didn't have much interest in that stuff at the time. I still regularly listen to most of the DC records you listed that were released before 1990.

[Gary]

A lot of good records on that list. For me it's just too different to compare to what came before. Listening to them serves a different purpose to my ears.

Yep, this. Not a ROS fan, but pretty much love everything on Dischord up to around when Smart Went Crazy and Branch Manager came out.
