Although I go way back with Black Flag, their recorded output isn't nearly as impressive as that of the Melvins - so the Melvins get my vote. I'm still getting familiar with Killing Joke and Neurosis, slowly.

Neurosis, with Killing Joke a VERY close second. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L. Mencken |

Killing Joke [1980] Extremities, Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions [1990] Absolute Dissent [2010] MMXII [2012] I'm iffy on their debut, but love the other three. Further recommendations are welcome! ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Also think that KJ belongs on PA as "progressive punk".

The four bands are different enough that I'd prefer if the poll was split up KJ vs. Neurosis and BF vs. Melvins, as there's a strong causal relationship of musical influence between each of those pairs. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

I agree, but they are all sort of influence to alternative metal (sludge, post metal and prog metal and such) -------------

Out of the four bands mentioned here, it's probably The Melvins who are my personal favourite to listen to, for the record.

Killing Joke, with a preference for their more pop-oriented stuff (Night Time and Brighter Than a 1000 Suns), closely followed by the debut, Extremeties and MMXII Neurosis is awesome too. The other two I only listen too occasionally. |

Aaaaaaaah I can't decide, I love all three... Neurosis, by a gnat's whisker. Note, I met the drummer from the Killing Joke. Damn nice chap! ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

I saw Neurosis years ago opening for Pantera. They were promoting Through Silver In Blood at the time. 3 songs in 30 minutes. Sat next to Pete Inc, who was doing their "visual media" at the time. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L.
