Already discussed here: Bad Brains vs. Black Flag but time to poll it up.
I think versions of both bands (multiple versions in Flag's case) are touring this summer.

Flag I think, but I've only heard a few things by each

― Pingu Unchained (dog latin), Monday, 15 July 2013 19:36 (twelve years ago)

I did this once with an added variable: Bad Brains vs. Black Flag vs. Flipper

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 15 July 2013 19:43 (twelve years ago)

Bad Brains.

― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 15 July 2013 19:44 (twelve years ago)

They both had really dodgy periods but weighing it up quickly in my head, for many musical and non muso reasons - Flag.

Flipper better than each x post

Black flag always and forever

I love Black Flag, but Bad Brains (specifically the yellow tape and Rock for Light) get my heart pumping like no other music on Earth, so they win this one.

Wild Flag not an option?

i mean the first few bad brains records are better than any other records, so no offense intended to black flag

bad brains without a second (or even a second's) thought

I think Black flag live at the Marquee '84 is one of the corner stones of the Universe so for that and the '83 stuff with Dez Cadena still onboard, plus at least some stuff with Chuck Dukowski they like rule and all.
But Bad Brains certainly put on some incredible shows I saw and I didn't get to see them til the mid 80s. Certainly loved the Astoria and Glasgow shows from the '89 tour & think they're both on widely circulated video boots too & that Spring Break '87 thing from Florida is breathatking.
But can't decide outright. Think both of them are pretty essential in the development of certain underground musics.

Bad Brains by a bunch of miles.

― WilliamC, Monday, 15 July 2013 21:32 (twelve years ago)

bad brains even if they lose points for the big boys thing

― arby's, Monday, 15 July 2013 21:55 (twelve years ago)

Yeah, but one of the Big Boys dudes formed the hair metal band Junkyard, so in retrospect didn't they kind of have it coming?

Your sense of humor is finely tuned as always. (Junkyard were actually kinda good, btw.)

am I the only one who thinks bad brains lack catchiness

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Monday, 22 July 2013 23:10 (twelve years ago)

yes, that is bonkers. shit is catchy as fuck. have spent years of my life with a little head voice drilling right brigade and i against i into my spongy matters. sailin' on! payta cum! rock for light! at least 2/3rds of i against i (all time top ten favorite album). sing it with me now.

― IIIrd Datekeeper (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 01:25 (twelve years ago)

I can't decide whether white guilt should make me vote Black Flag for their name or Bad Brains for their band members.

― Poliopolice, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 02:22 (twelve years ago)

it ended up being closer than I thought it would..

― SeanWayne, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 06:03 (twelve years ago)

Flipper poached some of the Black Flag vote last time.

― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 06:25 (twelve years ago)

sorry, Bad Brains all the way. Easiest vote I ever cast aside from Obama 2008.

I bought this shirt, but it itches like crazy, so I only wore it once. I have it in a a box with my 08 campaign memorabilia.
