3. Get In The Van (1994)

“Henry Rollins’ diary about his experience touring with Black Flag is eye-opening, gut wrenching, and inspiring all at the same time. From his unbridled passion for music that drives him to quit his secure job and hop on the tour bus, to the uncomfortable, embarrassing, and downright dangerous situations they encountered, this is a must listen for anyone interested in doing music full time.”

2. Drive By Shooting (1987)

“Henry Rollins is now no longer the just the lead singer of the legendary and sadly depared Black Flag (my favorite punk band of all time), he now leads the successful and experimental Rollins Band, has recorded quite a few hillarious spoken word albums (a string of T.V. specials based in it followed), and has played parts in many movies.”

1. Hot Animal Machine (1987)

“This release compiles Hot Animal Machine with the Drive-By Shooting EP, which was recorded under the pseudonym Henrietta Collins and the Wifebeating Childhaters. If you think the title is cool, you’ll like the album, too. Highlights include “A Man and a Woman”, which is about how everyone trivializes spousal abuse, “Move Right In”, the closest Hank comes to outright heavy metal, the EP’s title track, and “Men Are Pigs.” The last song is acapella.”
