Straight Edge Playlist

Few would term Mags and me as overly temperate. That said, we both have great love and respect for our straight edge brothers and sisters. This respect lead me to proposition walking musical encyclopedia and all around solid dude Rob Moran for 20 of the best straight edge songs of all time. His introduction and playlist are below.

Here is the list of what I think are the best songs by various SxE bands. Now granted, I think about 5% of the people associated with these songs are probably still SxE, but who gives a shit…these are great fucking songs, they meant something to me then and they still do now. By no means is this any sort of definitive list, but rather a list of songs that stuck with me over the years.

In no particular order:

1. Inside Out – No Spiritual Surrender
2. Minor Threat – Minor Threat
3. Side by Side – Backfire
4. Undertow – Cutting Away
5. Turning Point – Broken
6. 7 Seconds – This is the Angry
7. Drift Again – Drag
8. Uniform Choice – No Thanks
9. Judge – Fed Up
10. Gorilla Biscuits – New Direction
11. SS Decontrol – Get it Away
12. Slapshot – Fire Walker
13. Unity – Straight on View
14. Chain of Strength – Just How Much
15. Judge – Warriors (Blitz Cover)
16. Four Walls Falling – Happy Face
17. Brotherhood – The Deal
18. Integrity – Harder They Fall
19. Bane – Can We Start Again
20. Dag Nasty – Values Here

Since Rob included Judge twice (not that we are complaining) and is such a modest chap this is my nominee for #20.

Unbroken – You Won’t be Back
