Bands Ripcords
Which of these bands do you think is the best?
I think that all of these old bands are cool and I want to know the opinions of you folks, the first 3 bands are punk, the last 3 are metal.

Perhaps instead of The Exploited I should've used Doom or Chaotic Dischord.
Naz Nomad: I'm not sure if I hear any Beki Bondage style vocals in Znowhite, perhaps a little bit.
I wish I would've gotten to your Siege question in time, but hmmm this is an interesting question in retrospect of how some of these bands compare, but before I answer which one is best. I will say Belching Benguin reminds of well Angry Samoans added with kind of a style of either a great lakes state or rocky mountains state states band a friend of mine's band toured with. I have so music it's hard to remember everything of the top of my head, but I can tell you his band was call GEEKS and they were a Hardcore band from Nebraska believe it or not. The bands he toured with I have on cassette somewhere and a bunch of my cassettes are somewhere where I have to find them. Ripcord, ahhh with them, as I recall one of them went on to a band called Heresy later. Ripcord reminds me a bit of of DRI but more of on a more vegan way and I while I like Belching Penguin, I like Ripcord better. Saint Vitus, yes they were on SST and that's a label I ordered some music from as well bought stuff of in a store we have of Punk. What can I say though, I sometimes found myself having to use mailorder, when stores I went to didn't have things and sometimes they didn't always have things going great with distributors sometimes. St. Vitus is definitely a classic band. Exumer, yes I like this band - they sound kind of like a fusion between Exodus and Megadeth and those are both bands I like and I'd say like Exumer more than St. Vitus, even though St. Vitus is pretty decent. Znowhite I like them but the odd thing is, this may sound quite odd, but their singer reminds me of Becki Bondage from Vice Squad. Do you hear that too?
Things all being said, hmmm I will say I like Exploited the best, , but I'm not saying that because you like them or that other people are saying that. I will say maybe I'm a bit partial to Exploited because of these choices. I will say however I like Exhumer as a close 2nd place to Exploited with the choices of these 6 bands and here's how I would rate how much I like these band in order of what I like best -
1) Exploited
2) Exhumer
3) Ripcord
4) Znowhite
5) Belching Penguin
6) Saint Vitus
That being said though, with in regards to my ranking of Belching Penguin, as I mentioned earlier they partially remind me of Angry Samoans with another bands style, but I like Angry Samoans quite a bit more. Also I am more partial to Punk than Metal, but I like Metal as well as other genres as well besides Punk and Metal. Speaking of which I have a question about a Hardcore band by the way -
