Hardest and heaviest all black bands.

Let's get your take on the 'hard-hitters' 'loud-n-proud' all black bands.
Here's my take;
#1 Band of Gypsys
#2 Bad Brains(Soul Brains)
#3 Living Colour
#4 24-7 Spyz
#5 Sound Barrier
#6 Pure Hell
#7 Phil-E-Phunk
#8 Fishbone (at times)
#9 Mother's Finest
#10 Follow For Now

Don't agree? Then let me hear your choice.

Well everyone knows that I'm a stone cold harda** funkateer and would surely put Funkadelic on my list, but the Funkadelic I loved the most included the 'token white' guitarist by the name of Ron Brykowski so that disqualified my boys. And Ice T's 'Body Count' would have been #11 with 'Hard Corps' a close #12

As much as I love Jeffrey, Peter and Sandra, I wouldn't call them "hard-hitters" at least not in the studio, but live yeah at times especially when they had Ronald Drayton on guitar.

Kind of a funny list. Never heard anything by #s 5, 6 & 7; they must be local faves of yours. #4 and #10 just moved me a litle bit and #1 qualifies on the basis of just 1 gig/recording!!

You have got to know that this was designed to draw you out.
#5 Included Spacey T who was the sheading partner of Victor Johnson from (Sammy Hagar/Bus Boys) dis you should have known a 'LA' thang.
#6 Come to Philly on 5/31/02 Have you heard of the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Johnny Rotten?
#7 Of course my band from Philly.

Yeah I know, notice I didn't bother with a list either? SPACEY-T I've run into at recent FISHBONE gigs. Didn't know 'bout SB at all.

Philly's way too far ('sides that list is much more punk than funk!).
