Agnostic Front guitarist Vinnie Stigma is the latest guest to appear on Colin Young (Twitching Tongues, God’s Hate) and Bo Lueders’ (Harms Way) HardLore podcast, and while he was on the show, Colin asked him what his four favorite hardcore albums ever are–a question HardLore stirred up a viral moment with earlier this year. “I could give you the usual answer,” Vinnie said after sharing his list, “but like, you know, I switch it around a little.”
His list included the 1982 Faith/Void split (“because it’s a little bit of a combo”), the 1982 Negative Approach 7″, the self-titled Minor Threat record, “and to get a little melodic, let’s say,” Vinnie said, Bad Religion‘s 1982 debut album How Could Hell Be Any Worse?. He also added that if you asked him again tomorrow, he might switch one out for somebody else, so don’t hold him to it if you ever hear him answer this question again.
Watch the clip where Vinnie talks about his favorite albums, and the whole episode, below. Also watch HardLore ask a bunch of other people the same question earlier this year.
Agnostic Front will soon be opening Sepultura‘s North American farewell tour, alongside Obituary and Claustrofobia, and that hits NYC’s Palladium Times Square on October 12.
