Black Flag was an American band whose extensive touring and prolific recording helped to popularize hardcore punk. This genre arose in California in the early 1980s in response to the punk movement of the 1970s. The band is known for the fury and aggression of its performances.     The Queers are the greatest pop-punk band in the world!!! The band has released classic records like "Love Songs for The Retarded" and "Don't Back Down" while playing around the world many times! Often compared to the Ramones and The Beach Boys with a little Black Flag thrown in for good measure, the band plays nonstop for 40 minutes. Few other bands could play their set without stopping 20 times!
