Poison Idea vs. Naplam Death

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I know who's gonna win, but as I sit here listening to the 40 tracks Best Of Poison Idea, I'll be damned if they didn't carry the punk-to-metal flame as well or better than Napalm Death. And this disc doesn't seem to include anything off of Blank Blackout Vacant. Which should point anyone in Portland's favor. Inspired tonight because my bud drove off to Charlotte to see Motorhead this 9/11, and I was too pussy to break away from the job. So vote against me!

suddenly appreciating the full irony of Nam Pla sauce.

Best of Poison Idea is basically Pick Your King, Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes and Kings Of Punk in their entirety. Doesn't contain anything after that. It is great though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

So nothing off Feel The Darkness (their best record!)? Weird.

Love 'Plastic Bomb' so much.

Best of Poison Idea is all the tracks from the records Col. Poo mentions, oddly enough. I don't have Feel the Darkness. This must be rectified. I can't believe I haven't listened to BBV in years. That was like my #1 or #2 in '93.

War All the Time is often the metalhead fave of P.I.

I dunno, neither does it for me all the way. And I've seen Napalm live and I live in Portland. I have total respect for classic lineups of both though.

It's basically everything Taang has the rights to, I assume

Wish there were more fat hardcore bands.

More hilarious:

1) Only nine people voted
2) The post that bumped this thread

I am unsure.

Is this really our only Poison Idea thread?

Feel the Darkness rules

Turned Out A Punk interview with Jerry A was kinda delightful, didn't know he was a big fan of post-punk weirdo music before he formed PI. And played in Smegma.

never checked out Poison Idea before, Feel the Darkness is fucking incredible!

It's different that what I expected, sort of? I mean it's def big aggressive sick hardcore w/metal tendencies but I guess I thought it would be more chaotic or sloppy, this band is tight as hell and these songs are really well crafted

drummer is a monster

Sanneh's appreciation of Pig Champion remains my most-surprised-face thing I recall appearing in the the NYT.

Love that he got this in.

One of my favorite bands for so long now, and I came to Feel the Darkness relatively late, shortly after starting this thread. It's their peak, but Blank Blackout Vacant has nearly as many peaks. What held them back was that, even in the context of hardcore, they were never quite with the time. Kings of Punk showed up as loud-fast-rules was feeling played out, and I dismissed it. Feel the Darkness and Blank Blackout Vacant were crisp ideals of '84-'85 metallic punk when the underground wanted it more grindy. They're one of those bands that was perfecting a sound five years out of sync. Kinda like DMZ with Nuggets-style garage rock.
