1981's Flex Your Head compilation LP may be the greatest historical document of any punk scene. Now, I'm a huuuuuge fan of Dischord, but mostly the late-& to mid-& post-hardcore. Minor Threat is probably the best band on the album, and one of the few to actually stand the test of time. Government Issue: "Hey Ronnie" and "Lie, Cheat, & Steal" aren't as bad as the songs on Legless Bull. That would be impossible.
