SERIOUSLY? You really need to listen to it again because that assessment is just kookoobananas. Maybe
you're thinking of their live performances which did suck.I don't know how Joan Jett managed to pull it out of them
in the studio.

Anyway, for the most part I agree with most on the list and pretty much everyone's comments about omissions.
The list should have been called Southern California Punk because many of the bands are from Orange County
in which case The Crowd's "A World Apart" should be included.
"Damaged" is an important album in hardcore, but not necessarily warranting number one. I would sooner put
"Nervous Breakdown" or "Jealous Again" at numero uno. All in all X "Los Angeles" should have been tops.
