there is no way i could choose just one....so a top ten
1) Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today
(just as the first track proclaims
Rebirth of Hardcore Pride!!!!! )
2) Shelter - Beyond Planet Earth
(it does not get more positive than this album.....and band for that matter.....krishna pop-core)
3) 411 - This Isn't Me
(any skater from the early 90's knows this band from an old New Deal Video....this band is seriously ignored)
4) Snapcase - Progression Through Unlearning
(seriously great breakdowns....and self introspective lyrics)
5) 108 - Creation. Sustenance. Destruction.
(this band defines Krishna-core....possitive yet in your face hardcore)
6) Deadguy - Fixation On A Co-Worker
(this band has probablty sparked more binge murders then anything....insane hate)
7) Uniform Coice - Straight and Alert
(the west coast Minor Threat?....probably)
8) Better Than A Thousand - Just One

(a NYCHC supergroup and pure ode to circle pit hardcore)
9) 7 Seconds - Walk Together, Rock Together

(one of the originals....there would not have been hardcore without 7 Seconds)
10) Youth Of Today - Can't Close My Eyes
(what can i say aout you of today....great positive sing alond hardcore)
