A while back I introduced your Skredriver = Bad Brains argument to a few kids around here and have heard it reappearing now and then at parties.

I know you think this is totally dorky (and I've never had time for Agnostic Front since they were the favourite band of all the neo-nazis at my junior high school circa 1989-91), but I can't enjoy a band that writes shit like this. There's no rule or logic to it, and I'm not trying to say what other people should feel, but it's like the Forgotten Rebels-- I tried listening to In Love With The System a few weeks ago and thought, "man, fuck these assholes

All else aside, I certainly don't think that "Skrewdriver = Bad Brains". It's just a fun argument.

Well yeah, that's common knowledge-- but I think it's entirely irrelevant to the discussion, isn't it?
