        That's pretty difficult to nail down since there are so many varying styles in the scene.. I'll post a few youtube video links though:

          here are some basic classic albums that i cant imagine anyone would disagree about.

          Bad Brains - Roir Sessions and Rock for Light
          Black Flag - Damaged and My War
          Cro Mags -  Age of Quarrel
          Minor Threat - everything
          Poison Idea -  Pick Your King
          Misfits - Earth AD and Walk Among Us

          there are a thousand others i could name that some could argue as more important or influential but these albums are at least a good starting point for early hardcore, and could be considered the basis that most modern hardcore spawned from.

            yeah there's a ton of music out there.  speaking strickly NYHC,  for me, here's some of my faves that I would consider essential-  (Cro-Mags already mentioned)

            MURPHY'S LAW- MURPHY'S LAW, AGNOSTIC FRONT- LIVE AT CB'S, TOKEN ENTRY, UNDERDOG, SICK OF IT ALL, ABSOLUTION/BURN, BORN AGAINST, LEEWAY, STRAIGHT AHEAD. . .

            those are just some of them.  i could go on and on and on. . .

                very true.  i was just trying to think of stuff that would be considered "hardcore 101".

                  If you want the best, most recent (as in, this week) hardcore record possible, you should immediately purchase the new CROW 7" on Prank.  It came in today and is 100% perfect.

                    Crow is a perfect example of a band that was great in the 80'ies, great in the 90'ies, and is even better now…

                    7" is ordered btw... Was looking at the new comp. but decided against it...

                            Nails are great, dig 'em a lot. I used to really like Ceremony as well, when I heard all of their earlier shit it was pretty excellent. I picked up their most recent release when it came out and it literally made me want to bash my own brains in.

                            Nameness you should check out Cold Sweat, Veins, Divorce Money and OSS.

                              Thanks guys, will do.  Snagged a couple of sevens from In Desperation based on the myspace stuff they had up, haven't listened to 'em yet but will tonight.

                              I don't think I've heard any Converge past "When forever Comes Crashing", I should catch up.  Seen you play a few times but I think it was before you were in the band?  I remember some crazy ass show at Koo's in Santa Ana, 98 or 99?  My friend has some great pics from that one.

                                Jesuit definitely played Koo's in 98.  I toured with Converge that same year, so maybe I was in the band then?  I have a hard time remembering that stuff.  Koo's was rad though.  The Jesuit show there was insane.  Mike Cheese was there and he turned the place into total chaos.

                                i think the new ceremony record is great.  total germs/flipper vibe.

                                      the pickle patch was great.  we played there twice i think?  Mike Phyte was living there at the time.    The first time i ever swam in the pacific ocean was when we played there.

                                        The night of that show i handed the promoter the guest list.  All it said was "Gehenna".

                                        Promoter:  Um, Mike Cheese is  sort of not allowed here.  He beat someone bloody the last time he came here.

                                        Me:  Ok.  Well he's already on his way, so you can tell him when he gets here.

                                        Promoter:  fuck.

                                        Cheese shows up and just looks at the promoter and says "I'M FUCKING GOING IN."

                                        that show definitely got real wild.  If i remember correctly a chair got thrown threw a window?    me and cheese were punching each other all night for some stupid reason.  he can hit really hard.  bad idea.  we also kept tackling each other during our set and i broke the headstock on my les paul.

                                          Yeah, seriously, if anyone here is interested in learning what it's all about, apply immediately to shadow/apprentice Mike Cheese.  "I am NOT fucking around!"  He's the ultimate litmus test. A lot of people like to talk about how they miss "hardcore and punk being dangerous."  Mike Cheese exposes these people as to their truthfulness in that statement.

                                          Eli - I think that Nagoya City comp sold out. He didn't make too many of them.  I haven't played it yet, but will report back.

                                          Other new/current shit I'm feeling: VACCINE (pissed, anti-human sXe) and POLLUTION (NYC).
