- MY FAVORITE RECORDS #22: "THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION SOUNDTRACK"
Is there anything better than watching this movie when you're a teenager? You have Black Flag with Ron. X. Germs. Circle Jerks. Alice Bag. The list goes on. The raw energy from the footage still gets me going today.
I can't wait for the Circle Jerks, Adolescents and Descendants show this year. Punk ain't dead!

Later on in the '80s, The Replacements were my favorite band. I think they ended up being the best band of the '80s.
I saw the movie when it came out, and I've seen it multiple times since. I'd say it's the best punk rock documentary. By the time it came out, I'd already met the Ramones at a record store and seen the Ramones, the Clash, and Blondie. I was listening to the Buzzcocks, the Damned, etc. I was really into the early Black Flag stuff, the Adolescents, etc. I had a huge jambox, and I was playing this stuff on cassette as well as vinyl. I was constantly buying D batteries to feed the jambox so I could blast it outside. I saw X in the early '80s a bunch of times and they were my favorite. I loved Billy Zoom, and yes, that was D.J. Bonebreak on drums. I kept thinking about getting a tattoo of the X logo, but I never did. I saw the Descendents, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks. Those were the days! 😄
Replying to myself: 'The Clash - Westway to the World' is a good documentary if you've never seen that one.
Wow! That is so amazing. I bet the Ramones were such cool guys. I would have loved to see those bands in their prime. Thanks for sharing your experiences!!
