Justified Arrogance loves NYHC. This is one of the more passe observations that can be made about this blog as time goes on. There could be two separate discussions made on best LPs ever and best demos (which equates to an academic dogfight). This list is for the top 10 EPs to ever come out of New York City. Special thanks to Jacob Duarte (Dress Code / The Pose / Narrow Head), Jose Mora (Gag / White Wards / Combat Knife / Mongrel), Sean Holland (Neutral Accents Zine), Jesse Gasface (No Parole / Criminal Intent) for consulting with the formation of this list.
Honorable Mentions:
Breakdown - Blacklisted
Confusion - Taste of Hate
Crippled Youth - Join The Fight
The Mob - Step Forward

This is a cool list. It would be interesting to make top ten NYC HC demos and especially LPs because I think that it is a much bigger chalenge to make a perfect hardcore punk LP than EP.
ReplyDeleteGood list, surprised GB s/t 7" is not mentioned at all. And Reagan Youth "Youth Anthems for the New Order" would fit in nicely in the top 10 with all the other old school shit.
ReplyDeleteWould also be interested in a top 10 LP list.
Where are CroMags
ReplyDeleteMags never released an LP, mate
DeleteGREAT GREAT
ReplyDeleteKill all the douchebags and hipsters NOW !!!
ReplyDeleteKilling Time baby I'd put that above anyone but AF and I'd put Madball Dropping Many Suckers on that above most of those as well. I know a lot of people hate on Rick Healy but that 25 ta Life 7" was better than many of those and deseves to be on there. Fahrenheit 451 and District 9 and definitely Bulldoze
