(September 2020) Episode 285 is BAD BRAINS. Ground-breaking and iconic, a D.C. original. Who would think of combining punk and reggae? Not surprisingly, I like the early punk material best, and the reggae is good, but the metal phase is a mixed affair (for which I find H.R.’s voice ill-fitting, not unlike Dave Mustaine with Megadeth).
Favorite album: Bad Brains (Black Dots, the collection of early singles, is the best, but I can’t count it as it’s a compilation)
Favorite song: Don’t Bother Me
Compared to expectations: same
