Fun Stuff > BAND
Where to start?
David_Dovey:
With Black Flag I would suggest you start with Damaged. A lot of people would argue that the pre-Rollins stuff is actually better and they may in fact be right, but nevertheless most of the music they made was with Hank Rollins singing so it's pretty imperative that you work out if you dig him. Also it is probably the apex of the "hardcore" stuff they did. After that the sludge/Sabbath influence started to creep in.
I'd argue that with Fugazi it is probably a good idea to go through their discography chronologically, because the band progressed in a very linear fashion from the start of their tenure to the end.

Go chronologically with Mudhoney as well, get Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles. It's got Touch Me I'm Sick and their cover of Hate The Police by The Dicks on it.

i actually like every Butthole Surfers album, for vastly different reasons. their "sellout" album Electriclarryland is actually quite good. their early stuff is very difficult listening, so listen to Locust Abortion Technician and, if it's too weird for you, try Independent Worm Saloon and the aforementioned one.
all you really need from Mudhoney is Superfuzz Bigmuff.

I dunno, the later tracks with Dez on vocals from The First Four Years are pretty close to the way they sounded with Rollins on Damaged, you can hear how much Henry was influenced by Dez's style. I'm with you on the earlier stuff though tracks like Jealous Again are pretty far removed from the later sound, and if I want to listen to Keith Morris I'll go for Group Sex by the Circle Jerks every time, he was better in that band anyway. I'd go for My War and Slip It In before First Four Years anyway, side two of My War crushes and Slip It In is worth it for the riff in Black Coffee alone.
