Comment:

The height of hardcore punk was unequivocally the '80s, when the outright hedonism of the Sex Pistols gave way to the socially conscious screaming of bands like Minor Threat. Their "In My Eyes" single is a staple of sheer frustration over the human condition, as is the speedy rambling of Bad Brains and utter brilliance of L.A.'s X.
