Spermbirds - Eating Glass

Last album of their "trilogy", before the singer went away, issued in 1990. Then the music changed, I admit I wasn't much interested, because the way of singing of Lee Hollis was so special. I think they made 2 more studio albums during the nineties. As far as I know they are back nowadays... well like everybody from 1977 to 2000, aren't they ?

Spermbirds - Common Thread

Common Thread was issued in 1989. Another great album.

Spermbirds - Nothing Is Easy

The Spermbirds were a german band playing a typical 90's hardcore : intelligent, non-conformist, evolutive, somewhere between the Circle Jerks and Alice Donut, in a word really good !
This is their second album issued in 1987, but the first being known.

Minutemen - 3-Way Tie (For Last)

The last studio album of the band. It contains wonderful melodies. Next to this, they should have become huge probably, but one night, while D. Boon's girlfriend was driving their van, and while he was sleeping behind, caught with flu, she fell asleep and they had a car crash. D. Boon died in a second. Mike Watt and George Hurley wanted to stop music, but they were convinced to go on, and founded fIREHOSE.

Minutemen - Post-Mersh, vol. 2

This compilation contained the EPs "Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat" (1983) and Project Mersh (1985). Maybe the best CD to get.

King of the Hill :

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime

44 songs in one album ! This album is probably their master piece along with 3-Way Tie (For Last). It has something magic in it.

Minutemen - What Makes a Man Start Fires ?

Their first real "long-play" album (1983), if you can call it like that ! Still full of hardcore influences, but other styles are coming in each song.

Minutemen - The Punchline

The first album of the Minutemen (1981). Intelligent experimental emotional hardcore, if you can call it like that. the longest song lasts only 1 minute and twenty seconds !

Minutemen - Paranoid Time

The Minutement began their career along with Black Flag. They played a really powerful hardcore, fueled with funk, jazz, pop melodies, always experimenting, always uncompromising. D. Boon, Mike Watt and Goerge Hurley had a deep political mind and all their songs were very engaged. Everyone loved them, every bands, but their signature on SST was not enough for them to get fame, and you can understand that because their music was hard to get into.
This is their first EP, back in 1980. 7 songs, only 5 minutes...

Minor Threat - Complete Discography

Shall I introduce you to Minor Threat ? The first band of Ian McKaye, later founder of the famous Fugazi band and of the Dischord label. Straight-edge hardcore punk (that meant "let's be punk, but sane punks, not into drugs, drinking, and... fucking, because if we want to fight the system, we have to be in good health with all our senses opened" —without fucking they should have been priests, but well, the idea was good—).
This is a compilation of all they have done, with songs always less than 2 minutes. A classical one.
