Ginn's soloing through the My War era is some of my absolute favorite guitar playing. I do think he fell off pretty hard after that, though.

i like ginn's playing across the flag records even when it's stupid and bad
rollins however is full of shit and also totally misunderstands the appeal of venom

Would anyone's vote be different if we'd polled bands instead of debut LPs?

i would probably vote for black flag in that case but they changed my life at an impressionable age

Black Flag definitely has more range over their brief discography than Venom, or so I gather, since I sure as hell haven't heard the latter's in its entirety.

Venom kind of shot their wad in their first 3 LPs

the good stuff they did post AWWS was more following other trends of the moment than setting any. some of their recent stuff is listenable though.
but I liked the Venom, Inc album with Mantas and Abaddon better than the current Cronos incarnation. sadly, Venom Inc is down to only one orig member now.
