i know some folks shy away from RFL cos of the speed-up issues but since it has some tracks not on ROIR figured I'd poll the best track from first two albs in case anybody wished to choose a version of a song from RFL instead of ROIR. I included reissue bonus tracks. so without further adieu....

i like the s/t Sailin' On way better, but RFL's Attitude has more bite for me.

prefer the reggae tracks on Rock for Light, though they're no slouch on s/t ("I Luv I Jah") is a fav.

First track on Rock for Light, "Coptic Times," is fantastic, but "Riot Squad" - holy shit.

Pay to Cum

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 12 March 2016 16:55 (nine years ago)

This is a nearly impossible call, so I went with my first inclination: "Don't Need It". But it could have just as easily been "I" or "Right Brigade" or "Coptic Times" (my first Bad Brains song!)

Big Take Over (s/t) - the way HR comes back in after the guitar solo might be my favorite Bad Brains moment

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

geoffreyess otm

the version of Pay To Cum on the s/t is a bit weak sounding compared to the 7" version, probably because it's a live recording.

DON'T NEED IT

at some point I made myself a CDR with all my fave versions from Black Dots, S/T, RFL, and the singles
