Nobody likes The Misfits, Rancid, or The Dead Kennedys??????
When I first got into punk/hardcore the DKs, Suicidal, Agnostic Front, DRI, COC, SOD (yeah they were metal, but the mid to late 80s was the "crossover" era), Exploited, BAD BRAINS(!), the Misfits and a shitload of bands on various skate comps were the bands which got me into the sound. Most people into HC (especially those my age) cut their teeth on the Misfits and DKs.
@ White Devil:
I noticed you mentioned Sick of It All as "wannapunk". I can almost see where you're coming from on that one since their last few albums had a more punk-than-hardcore feel, but they're still as hardcore as they were when they started in '87. The fact they're still around and still playing hardcore (albeit from an east coast and metal-INFLUENCED angle) surprises me.
edit:
@ White Devil again:
The Sick are tight! Hell yeah!
