no Bad Brains = no DC scene
they didn't just break racial boundries in punk rock, they introduced sounds into American punk rock that no one else could have done.

i hate bad brains myself.
the fact they are rasist , sexist and homophobic doesn't reall endear em to me.

zen arcade is a great album though as is bitches brew, trout mask replica, 13 songs and day dream nation.
time out is great too.
glad to see smashing pumpkins on the list..

I think I own like 19 of those records. I am a music geek and therefore laughed my ass off at that list. I think that all your sacred cows should be assaulted from time to time. It gives you a sense of perspective.
What did that list do for me? Made me wanna blow the dust off my copy of "moving Pictures" and air guitar like there's no tomorrow!

zen arcade is an overblown self-indulgent mess, and is really only cool in the "holy shit, someone DID this on no budget in '84?" sense.

that said, i listen to it prolly twice a month

According to this list,Bad Brains kind of sucks.
Whatever
Listen to I against I and shut up.

seripop's right about the homophobic stuff. "don't blow no bubbles" is a pretty questionable song. i don't know about the racist and sexist stuff. you've got to give them one thing, for what it's worth they've had a huge influence on punk rock.
