I can think of FAR worse bands.....

I videotaped this thing off of some KABC magazine show back in 1980 about 
violence in Punk clubs, and it primarily featured Black Flag at the Starwood. I 
do feel the band was responsible for a paradigm shift in the behavior of it's 
audience, as do a bunch of the people who are interviewed in Brendan Mullen's 
book WE GOT THE NEUTRON BOMB (hell... I'm forgetting, is that the title?... 
it's the one before his Darby Crash book).

That had more to do with the big sociological change in the punk scene, when all the retards, jock types and "hessians" started getting into punk. If it hadn't been Black Flag that attracted those people, it would have been someone else. When subcultures expand beyond their initial base, one always gets a less hip group getting into them - just like what occurred with the '60s counterculture.
