Product Description

There'd be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys, or Red Hot Chili Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as Black Flag, Bad Brains, and Minor Threat. Hardcore was more than music; it was a social movement created by Reagan-era misfit kids. Featuring twenty-six definitive tracks, this is the audio companion to the feature-length documentary, released by Sony Pictures Classics in September 2006. Artists include Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, Cro-Mags, Adolescents, Die Kreuzen, Flipper, Gang Green, Negative Approach, DOA, MDC, DRI, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required listening before starting a band, March 15, 2008

By	J. Hendricks - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No, not EVERYONE'S favorite tracks are represented here but this is a VERY GOOD brief overview of the genre. It's a place to start if you're not familiar with Hardcore and may cause 90% of your current record collection to become obsolete (at least until you're old enough to realize that liking only ONE kind of music is kind of silly).

This record should be copied a million times and handed out to the poor kids who go to Good Charlotte concerts thinking they're "punk". Today's youth aren't brainless! They just have a hard time finding the real stuff!

P.S. (No Kennedys or Misfits due to the ongoing legal entanglements between all the former members. Same deal as the movie.)

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like punk, this is for you., February 12, 2008

By	Jeannine Peterson "Neeners" (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw a concert in LA w/Fear, Circle Jerks, and Black Flag. Wow this really brought it all back. If you like punk or want to get in touch with the punk movement of the 80s in the US this is for you.
