I’ve always preferred Black Flag before the days of Henry Rollins. Keith Morris who later went on to be in Circle Jerks was the bands original vocalist from their formation in 1976 until 1979 when he quit. Morris (pictured above watching a pretty brutal dance off) wrote humorous lyrics sung over fast, furious punk guitars, essentially it was goofy hardcore that didn’t take itself too seriously and is just overall fun to listen to. When Rollins came in the music took a very different direction, becoming more political and angry, still amazing music but lacking the everyday charm of the bands earlier output. Still, great in every sense and had the best touring ethic of any band in history.
