It's OK, monkey-star, I'm not really sad.  I do love Black Flag (and The Smiths!), but I also love the way that folk are slating stuff that they don't like in this thread, perversely!

As you can see by the list of songs that I hate (the most recent one must be about 1989!), the time when I felt strong enough negative passion towards bad music has long since gone, though I can recall clearly enough feeling the badness!

You're quite right, it's not a crime to hate Black Flag and/or their songs, but I do find it hard to understand; for me, they were one of those bands that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I first heard them (especially "Thirsty and Miserable" off of Damaged).  But hey! Talking about bands that I love is massively Off Topic in a "hate" thread!  Sorry.

Even if those youngsters who wear the shirt haven't heard the band, it's a bit disappointing but...what a great logo, and what brilliant artwork!!  Who wouldn't want to wear it?

Hey,Pete,maybe it`s my fault that you`ve become sad - i should write more attentively=)Maybe you like Black Flag music,you`re interested in the history of the band and some facts about it,ok,i don`t mind.But if i don`t like their music at all - is it a crime?And i really haven`t meant that i don`t like Black Flag songs only because of their fans and t-shirts=)Pete,what do you think about the young girls and boys,who`ve just listened three or five songs of the band,though there are another good albums,watched a couple of videoclips or even don`t know this band at all - are they really the fans of this band or who are they??

How about:

1) U2 - Bloody Sunday. Bloody awful bloke skipping around a stadium stage in soft pixie boots and a rubbish mullet, more like.

2) Simple Minds - Belfast Child. When will the Belfast child sing again?  When he/she has finally gotten rid of the memory of the crocodile tears shed by this bunch of pompous money grubbers, that's when.

3) The Alarm - 68 Guns. Stop it.

4) The Levellers - Beautiful Day.  How can it be when these Luddites are blighting our earholes with their olde English folk-punk crap?

5) New Model Army - anything.

6) The Farm - All Together Now.  Sums up the spirit of the times.

7) Wings - Mull of Kintyre.  Took over the charts for years in Britain. Popped the wrong mop top, indeed.

8) Brotherhood of Man - Save Your Kisses For Me.  How did this quasi-paedo rubbish get past the Quasi-Paedo Censorship Office?

9) St Winifred's School Choir - Grandma.

10) Kermit The Frog - Halfway Down The Stairs.  Why did the world need this song, then?

This can't be coincidence.  Axel, you and monkey-star know me and just want to pull apart the very fibre of my being today, don't you?  Otherwise how to explain that The Smiths and Black Flag have been nominated in such cruel terms?!

And you??I haven`t meant that i don`t like Black Flag songs only because of their fans and "young reatards dressed in their t-shirts".It`s not the reason,really.And be more polite,ok

Crumbs, I half wish I hadn't stumbled across this thread, swathed as it is in relentless bitter bile.  The other half of me, of course, just can't look away.

Black Flag; I can understand how Rollins can be extremely irritating with his smug media-friendly bonhomie and poor attempts at stand-up comedy, these days, but the band itself and the songs themselves?  They just rip apart er, things that are tricky to rip apart like, er things made of metal and er, stone.  Who cares if anybody/nobody/everybody is wearing their T-shirts?  Even if it is on the streets of Moscow (does it clash with the general colour scheme?).

Aww, c'mon!  Great comments, but the world would be a much poorer place without those three.  The Charlene and Sarstedt numbers provide great (and hilarious) insight into the megalamaniac workings of the songwriter's tortured artistic soul, while American Pie is, um, er, just totally ace (must be, otherwise Madonna would never have covered it, would she?).

Ms Springolator said:

I've Never Been to Me - Charlene. Personally I really wish she'd never been to a recording studio.

American Pie - Don McLean. If all was right with the world, he would have drove his Chevy to the levy, accelerated off the edge and then sunk to the bottom of some fathomless depth of water, where neither he nor his horrendous song would be heard again.

Where Do You Go to My Lovely - Peter Sarstedt. The song makes me vomit, and that's comment enough.

 OK , I could go , ????????? , but , you've got a right to your opinion. I'm not a huge fan of "Sometimes You Just Can't Win" , but I don't hate it....same is true of "Love is All Around" , only because The Troggs had so many songs that are better than the two they're largely associated with.

Little Richard at the Okeh club

it's alive Ramones

Smell of female Cramps

Slade live (the first one)

Bootleg with Gene Vincent and the Bluecaps doing Hound dog and Bebop alula Alan Freed show

As I recall, that is "live" in the studio and produced by Kurt Bloch of the Fastbacks. The two live ones I know of are "Live at the Revolver" & "No Requests Tonight". "No Requests" is not nearly as clean sounding as the "Revolver" LP but much more raw and fun in my opinion, but I was at that one so I may be a bit biased.

I've always loved The Devil Dogs' "Saturday Night Fever"; am I right in remembering that this is a live album, or was it just recorded "as live" in the studio?  It sounds live, and is totally thrilling.

 

Yeah this is one of my favourites too!

Alison said:

i like that one , but, to me , personally , DTK is the shit. THE ORIGINAL BAND , WITH JERRY NOLAN (dUNNO MUCH ABOUT THIS TY STYX GUY , EXCEPT THAT HE PLAYED ON THE DEVIANTS' GREAT REUNION ep.) , IN THEIR PRIME , ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE , BAITING THE BRITISH AUDIENCE....THO' THE MAX'S LP HAD MORE 10 YEAR OLD - LEVEL SEX JOKES.....

the heartbreakers  Live at Max's Kansas City

I'm not a huge Only Ones fan , but I LIKE them , don't get me wrong....I have that Live at The Beeb , and another Live (As in , before an audience.) album , bu t, I don't play 'em that much. I don't even have "It's Alive" on CD , EXCEPT A COPY A FRIEND BURNED ME, WITH NO SONG SEPARATION.    I never thought "SAturday Night Fever" was recorded live, maybe live in the studio......
 
Pete Sottrel said:

I have to agree with The Ramones "It's Alive) being the one that just leaps into my head, first and foremost.  It has to be the vinyl version, though; on CD the way the tracks are separated takes away the breathtaking rush of the experience.

If you don't know how ace a band The Only Ones were, "The Only Ones Live At The BBC" will reveal all, especially album closer "Programme".

I've always loved The Devil Dogs' "Saturday Night Fever"; am I right in remembering that this is a live album, or was it just recorded "as live" in the studio?  It sounds live, and is totally thrilling.

Theatre of Hate's "He Who Dares Wins" is worth an honourable mention, especially as that album plus the exciting John Peel sessions that were being broadcast at around the same time were the only things you could hear by the band for a while before the (in my opinion) relatively disappointing Westworld album came out.  And getting hold of that live album in a Suffolk backwater in 1981 was not easy, which made it even more desirable.

Yeh , how could I forget Live at Leeds ? Crackling Noises OK , Do Not Correct.

That was probably the first example of packaging to make a legit release look like a boot (Barring all the inserts.). Come to think of it , some people might even say "The White Album", but the bootleg market did'nt really open wide until 69 - 70 , when The Stones started touring again and The Beatles were splitting up.

Seeds Raw and Alive (at Merlin's Music Box) - Ha ha! I know it's terrible but fun!

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........soooooooooooo good.

Alison said:

THAT'S VERY TRUE.  I HAVE'NT HEARD ANY GOOD RUMORS , LATELY....

I remember the one about The MC5 REFORMING TO DO ONE SHOW IN DETROIT in 1991. That made it all the way here, to Chicago.

Turned out , it was Sonics Rendezvous Band . There were , HOWEVER ,  negotiations to get The  MC5 TO DO A VERY LUCRATIVE 5 - DATE TOUR around that time. They all agreed to it , but , one. THE LONE HOLDOVER WAS Fred "Sonic" Smith.

Dickie Peterson told me , at Blue Cheer's last (Pre - reformation)  gig in Chicago (At the BEAVER CLUB.), in 1971 , that "Two people on the dance floor started fuckin', and we had to all leave separately , in different cabs , to throw the cops off. They wanted to book us for causing "A disorderly situation". ". My friend , Bill , was at that show , and he said he remembers nothing about that. Hmmmmmm........

It could be worse, he could have been singing about insurance.

I saw an interview with Lemmy , in the 80's , where he was asked if it was true that he was seen with Morgan Fairchild at The Opera....."I HATE bloody Opera. I saw an opera on telly one time , and this bloke was singing about sausages. SAUSAGES!!!!".

Well , Wilko's still here , and going full steam ahead. This is a man who once tried to pilot a plane , with no prior knowledge of how to.  It's a cinch he has more sense , but , still no fear.
