Hands down the most influential band for me in every way. I remember running down anything I could find (which ended up being "Stations of the Crass" first, then "Feeding.." and probably years later "Penis Envy"...) after watching an older local punk get a stick n poke of the logo. Took months to track it down and when I got it the sounds were so 180 degrees from what I thought that ominous swastika-esque logo had promised. Of course I was a kid and it was the early 90s so I had a really narrow idea of heavy. Now, its hard to think of a "heavier" band when taken in a broader sense.
Penis Envy is a really weird record for me. I think its the best Crass Record, although I don't put it in my personal top 3 from them... which I see as some reflection of poor values or user error or something. Like I actually feel guilt about this and have, at weaker points in my life just lied and said it was my favorite one so that I could pretend to be a better person than I am.
One of the great tragedies of (well stocked, big city type) record stores now vs then was how easy it was to go grab a killer Crass record with a massive poster sleeve and enough content to keep you thinking for years to come for under ten bucks.
It's still fantastic, indispensable stuff.
