Black Impulse Sonics Reduced 22: Baddest Brains

I first read about Bad Brains through an unlikely source, Guitar Player magazine. Somewhere between the pages of Steve Vai gurning and music theory tutorials from Buckethead lay a small section of reviews, one of which was for a CD release of the bands classic “Rock For Light” LP. This review was enough to pique my interest and I purchased it the next time I was in Tower Records and my love of the band has not waned since.

So here are my nine personal favourite Bad Brains tracks, enjoy

Track Listing:

1. Bad Brains – Big Takeover
2. Bad Brains – At the Atlantis
3. Bad Brains – Attitude
4. Bad Brains – I and I Survive
5. Bad Brains – Sailin On
6. Bad Brains – Redbone in the City
7. Bad Brains – Pay to Cum
8. Bad Brains – Supertouch/Shitfit
9. Bad Brains – Send Me No Flowers
