I hear they're giving the next one to Michael Bay, it's sure to be explosive

Not sure if I'd want a movie about sodomy to be "explosive," but at least there wont be anymore blue cat people

American hardcore like 81-84 or so is my favorite.

That's a hard decision the 80s bands are amazing but at the same time
you can see the musical and mental changes from the stooges and
pistols up to minor threat agnostic front and black flag era bands even
through to bad religion and penny wise. Even though each generation
of punk can be characteristically defined id say it's more A question of sub
genre Of punk. With that said I love the exploited, the unseen, gbh, and those style of bands

But seriously, I think that both eras were excellent and if I had to choose one, it would be 1970's. I like a song that I can understand the words to.

I like the hardcore shit more because it's faster. I've been exposed to hardcore a lot more than the 70s punk rock.

I can't really say that I don't like 70s punk rock, I do, but This Is Boston Not LA / Unsafe at Any Speed is on my top 5 favorite CDs of all time, with The First Four Years (Black Flag) being right above it, so I'd have to go with the 1980's hardcore punk. (Even though Black Flag was formed in 1976, I think that they fit right in with 1980s hardcore punk.)
