Your Top 10 Favorite 7"s

[412Wolfpack]

fuck only having digital music of independent bands and labels. physical music is the only way punk/hardcore can be fully enjoyed as the lyrics and artwork is usually just as important as the music to a band's release anyway.

7"s are the best format. you can try new, unknown bands out cheap and they are short enough that you are forced to pay attention to the whole record, which i like. i can sit down in front of the record player and play 7"s and look at the artwork and read the lyrics/inserts while i listen and i can't just do other shit around the house/room like i often do while listening to LP's.

that said, i am going to compile my top 10 7" list. probably take me a few days to narrow it down to 10.

+1
7" > 12"

i may have to come back and update this...and i admittedly don't have a ton of 7"s so...

portrait - all my chances
tunes - s/t
suis la lune/osceola split
phoenix bodies/raein split
spirit of versailles - live from WNYU (i think?)

so was my post deleted because Steven runs Init, or because supporting digital music is considered unpunk according to the latest manifesto or whatever?

i can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but, uh, thanks?

and they are short enough that you are forced to pay attention to the whole record.

Agreed! This may explain why I have way more small (5, 6, and 7") records than 10"s and LPs.
