Minor Threat was a short-lived but incredibly influential hardcore punk band from Washington DC, often credited with starting the straight edge movement. Critics have called them and their work 'iconic'. They and fellow Washington DC residents Bad Brains set the standard for many hardcore punk bands in the 1980s and 1990s. They produced short, often astonishingly fast songs, eventually with excellent production quality, which at the time was lacking in most punk/alternative rock.
