The absolute worst was No Use for a Name.

Also still don't get why NOFX isn't winning. Not only for how bad they are, but for how much badness they influenced. and then they kept going. AND they suck at hockey!

I'll take them over Guttermouth any day. The Vandals haven't aged all that well for me either.

Guttermouth, Lagwagon, etc. were all terrible, but No Use for a Name was execrable. Anyone remember Diesel Boy?

While not great, that first Vandals album is better than the aforementioned bands. Hell, anything they did was.

You either have some incomplete or incorrect info...

(Although a lot of it is about Karina...)

Two other things...

First(and foremost...) - RIP Tony.

Past that... If Snodgrass thinks you are solid? You ARE solid.

SNFU? Definitely. NUFAN? No.

Nufan played it straight down the middle. Melodic hardcore with earnest attitude neither macho, nor cartoony goofy. They might have been a little narrow but that guy wrote some good melodies. Of anyone on the list they have the most in common with Face to Face.

Yep, but not kindly. What I remember most about them is none of their boring-ass music but an anecdote when that "Independence Day" or whatever tour that was came around our little burg in the late 90s that had them and FYP (more on that in a sec) and some others I can't remember...anyway, one of our scene friends was dating the promoter and kinda did him dirty that night to hook up w/ DB's drummer.

FYP was another band that was awesome for their super raw, dumbass skate punk & then they morphed into just a really boring-ass band so that was disappointing to see.

Now that band managed to innovate by bringing their pop punk raw and fast. Just a blast of "ooom pah oom pah" on the drums and ultra snotty. Neither Fat Wreck nor Lookout styled pop punk, but still an outgrowth of what the Ramones started.

Don't know if I could sit through an album now but I remember them fondly.
