TS: Teen Idles vs. Phish

We've had a 'most rockist' moment thread, how about 'most hardcore'? Mine had to be expressing disbelief to somebody about that pic of Ian Mackaye underneath the Hendrix poster. Oh go ahead laff all you want. (Special pleading - this occured after a few swigs of 'bottled violence')

And Dave Q takes Taking Sides to new levels of greatness... I like short songs more than long songs and I like punks more than hippies and I have fonder memories of getting drunk in the field behind Wilson High School than I do of getting stoned in Vermont or whatever (partially because it would take a large number of wild horses to drag me anywhere near Vermont) so I'm gonna go with Teen Idles. But I can never tell if these TS questions are actually meant to be answered.

Of course they're meant to be answered! But usually Dave Q does such an amazing job in setting up the questions that answering almost feels secondary, so the relatively stripped down entry here invites more talk. :-)

hippy rhetoric vs hippy lifestyle? rice and beans or Ben and Jerry's?

'...and what happened to Ian?'

'Ah, he's playin' cards with his mother...'
