Once upon a time...
As I've said often lately, "I'm not the pretty boy I used to be."

With all due respect to the OP, but we seem to have rather different definitions of the terms "punk" and "hardcore".

I was just rolling with the "musician" pics. I would not claim the band I was in to be punk. I tried to work some in, but every attempt was shot down. Oh well.

Yeah, most punks I knew back then were at least partly goth in appearance. Plus, I had my own twist on the style, being a "nonconformist wildebeastman" (Amboy Dukes!)

Punk/Hardcore for me is:

Discharge, Negative Approach, Sheer Terror, SFA, Agnostic Front, Black Flag, Cock Sparrer, Outo, Born/Dead, Deathcycle, Slumlords, Modern Life is War, R.A.M.B.O., Victims and so on ...

Do you like Black Flag better with Keith Morrison or Henry Rollins?

Rollins is great on his own (though Biafra beats him in terms of spoken words) but Black Flag were better with Keith.

Punk for me was the Clash, 999, Stiff Little Fingers, the Undertones, Sex Pistols and the Ramones. By the time I heard Black Flag, I was already past my punk phase, and into Prog. I still love the Clash, tho.

punk also includes Minutemen, (early) Husker Du, Dead Kennedys, Cramps...

well for me anyway.

Awwwww...thank you. And the feeling is mutual.

And while I don't have any albums of Keith Morrison Black Flag, the stuff I have heard I like more than the Henry Rollins Black Flag.

And I'd like to include Fear into the mix of punk. But then again, there are tons of little bitty bands I could name off as well. I really saw more live than I ever bought.

yeah FEAR, the Meatmen, Minor Threat, Fang. I love it all. That's more in the line of "hardcore" Punk.
But there's plenty of Punk that isn't hardcore such as the Fall, Magazine, Wire, X (who actually had Ray Manzerek from the Doors on keyboards and producing their first album), and my all time favorite, Redd Kross.
I certainly fit in more closely in the mold of "underground" and Avant Garde punk.

I would have to love Minor Threat if it wasn't for that straight edge thing they triggered off. Anyway, I've mostly been (and still) am into NYHC and British Oi. Finnish and Japanese HC from the 80's also is essential.
