I nominate Blackhouse, Blackgirls, Black Uhuru, and Black Sun Ensemble.

But I vote for Black Flag.

― sleeve (sleeve), Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

I'm tempted to vote for Black Flag too, purely on the basis of their pre-Rollins stuff.

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

Well, sure, I can trot out

Black Oak Arkansas
Sounds Of Blackness
Black Uhuru (xp)
Blackfoot
Richie Blackmore (har)
Black Keys
Black Dahlia Murder

There needs to be a band called Black. Why isn't there one? Someone start this band now.

― Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

Tough to argue against Sabbath here, really. But Black Merda have to be considered as well.

― Dark Horse, Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

I like Sabbath, but I think I prefer the peppier Black Flag stuff.

― o. nate (onate), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

Blackalicious, A Forest Mighty Black

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

xpost - Well there was (is?) an artist called Black. He was an 80's UK artist, whose real name was Colin Vearncombe. Had a huge hit with Wonderful Life, but I have no idea if this charted in the States.

Oh, and of course, Big Black are the best Blacks

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:22 (nineteen years ago)

blackstreet wins, black dice loses . . . alwayz.

― buyabiznatch (buyabiznatch), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:26 (nineteen years ago)

wait, o. nate, what's wrong with their rollins stuff?

― buyabiznatch (buyabiznatch), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

yeah Big Black, my vote right there

― blunt (blunt), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

wait, o. nate, what's wrong with their rollins stuff?

Nothing's wrong with it - I just haven't heard it.

Does Blaque count?

From the link:

Names of songs Shamari has recently written:BRETHE, CAN'T BE REPLACED, HUMMER, I LIKE IT, I'M GONE, I WANNA BE MORE TO YOU, IF HE CAN'T GET IT UP, MAKE MY DAY, TEAR MY HEART OUT, WATERFALL, WORK (information from BMI)

I really want to hear "Hummer" and "If He Can't Get It Up" played back-to-back. Seems like a bit of a contradiciton...

― Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Friday, 3 March 2006 07:36 (nineteen years ago)

My ex-roommate had a short-lived band named Black Black Black, which I always thought was kinda neat... yeah.

― nancyboy (nancyboy), Friday, 3 March 2006 07:50 (nineteen years ago)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 3 March 2006 08:00 (nineteen years ago)

― poopershoot, Friday, 3 March 2006 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone would think Black Rebel Motorcycle Club were shit...

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

adam is correct in his earlier assessment. also Ben what's that new Black Lips like? I have We Did Not Know... and I like it a lot, is it along those lines, better/worse?

― wangdangsweetpentangle (teenagequiet), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Even Black Lace were better than Black Rebel Motorcycle Club!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 3 March 2006 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

Black Flag by a furlong.

― Jason Toon (Jason Toon), Friday, 3 March 2006 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

I think you'll get with this, cause this is kinda fat.
