I haven't heard much of Discharge. As for DK, I've got a lot of respect for them, but I think that in some ways their music is very dated. Reading the lyrics is like reading some 80s-era anarchist tract. On top of this, I don't really agree with their politics. When I was younger, I could totally get behind it... like "Yeah! Fuck the system! Crush capitalism!" As I've gotten older though, I've realized that things aren't so black and white. The people that decry the government so loudly are often doing so to achieve their own selfish ends. I've got the same problem with bands like Crass, Conflict, etc.
