Black Flag was better than the Circle Jerks
I would rank Black Flag behind the Clash, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Kennedys, and the Ramones.
Unlike Black Flag, Circle Jerks are an incredibly TIGHT band, and Keith Morris could actually hit notes on key (unlike Henry Rollins of Black Flag). Circle Jerks are STILL performing, I think.
One of the guys in this TV Party video was a good friend of mine in the 1980's. Wonder what he's up to these days. I've also met Henry Rollins. Smart guy but lousy singer.
Saw Circle Jerks many times. Great to see in person. Love the chord changes in their songs. Clever stuff such as "Letter Bomb", "Deny Everything" (shortest song ever), "Room 13", "Operation", lol.
