its Black Flag. i mean most "loud rock" is influenced by Black Flag because they started the underground hardcore punk scene. after recording and touring continuously for 6 years, they had spread hardcore punk throughout the US and then broke up. but since then, numerous hardcore bands started, and then most of them broke into the mainstream. examples are Rise Against, Bleeding Through, Give Up The Ghost, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Hope Conspiracy, and so many more.

Read that like it was on Lord of the Rings stoned and you'll laugh your ass off.

all the bands on the list are awesome and worth listening to. Minutemen and Black Flag especially.

our band could be your life
real names be proof
me and mike watt played for years
punk rock changed our lives

we learned punk rock in hollywood
drove up from pedro
we were fucking corndogs
we'd go drink and pogo

mr. narrator
this is bob dylan to me
my story could be his songs
i'm his soldier child

our band is scientist rock
but i was e. bloom and richard hell,
joe strummer, and john doe
me and mike watt, playing guitar

still punk

...glad some of you fellas have discovered some real gems. growing up in that era was an amazing experience. DC in the 80s and 90s was one of the greatest places to be if you were into punk/hardcore...
