bad brains at their best stand alone.

Dude, I'm still sticking with the Threat. I just played the first Bad Brains record versus the first MT EP. MT just slays. There's a certain quality to the Brains that could never be doubled, changed, even approached. But MT had it down perfectly. Everything about them was just right. BB had fucking awful reggae/jah/whatever shit clouding their records...MT.

I don't know why you guys keep bringing up the reggae Bad Brains. Nobody listens to that shit, nobody cares about it. It might as well not exist.

I saw both bands in their heyday, and I have all relevant hardcore recordings by both. Bad Brains kill everybody, and everybody includes Minor Threat.

Easily Bad Brains. I would have "Pay to Cum" over the entire Minor Threat catalog.

Does everyone include Die Kreuzen (only considering first self titled record)?.

It's still on the records. At least on a CD it only takes a finger punch to forget all about it.

Too black, too strong: Bad Brains.

Bad Brains, for these 3 songs alone:

"I Against I"
"Pay to Cum"
"Soulcraft"

Bad Brains also put on a waaay better live show.

Minor Threat is great, but Bad Brains is light years beyond. Light years.

It's like this.

HR did back flips in practical suits.

IM was only topless.

Bad Brains by 9.46 x 10^15m at least.
