i agree with the biased and fishy remark. the part about inarticulate politics is correct, but i think the suggestion that they are pro-fascist is wrong. (hitler's in the charts, i think, is pretty clearly against the rise of neo-nazi punk rock.)
britannia waives the rules isn't an exploited album, it's a compilation album (and a good one).
whooa.... this article is biased and fishy...
yeah this page isnt acurate its wrong they had way more albums than that
This article is way too based on the writer's opinions. Someone needs to revise it with all of their albums mentioned. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 14:30, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Why? Did you write the article? Because you seemed pissed off about my comment. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 13:57, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Since I first read the stub some months ago this article has gotten a lot better, so just give it some more time and input. I just added the info from the albums I got, if you have more insight than please just put it in here. I agree though that the article is biased, but it's kinda hard to find some actual facts about their history (Quibus 09:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC))
Per WP:NMG could you please add some sales figures for the albums. Thanks - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 13:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
There are several factual inaccuracies and substantial bits of info missing. For example, the original guitarist 'Big John' is not cited at all - he was a major influence. The Exploited were at the hub of the second wave of punk in the UK and were prominent and possibly the most successful band of that time. When I get the chance i will dig out my original copy of 'Punks Not Dead' (I'm the one giving the 'v' sign on the cover picture and update this.
They also charted in the UK charts in ?1981 and did Top of the Pops! Big John later left as Wattie was doing too much glue and eventually heroin. The group also got into some odd noteriety by hanging out with Jimmy Boyle a famous Scottish gang member and violent criminal, who had reformed and became an artist.
Big John went on to be in other groups after leaving The Exploited (according to the official Exploited website he was briefly in Nirvana (think he was second guitarist around the time of recording of the Unplugged album, but Pat Smear appeared live instead and JD was gtr tech) and also I think he may have been involved with Garbage (not Garbage, but was gtr in Shirley Manson's previous band Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, and before this THE BLOOD UNCLES).
What about "Jesus is dead EP(1986)" this a very important EP, because is not "Single" like "War Now(1988)", this EP don't have any remix ("War Now" have remix version of "Sexual Favours"). Also Exploited was a great influence to the "Trash Metal" music, as you know, "Trash Metal" is a consequence of make a "crossover" of heavy metal and punk
so everyone agrees that The Exploited were a racist band? What the F*** is up with that? What kind of white power bonehead s*** like them? I don't see how this can be true. Just becuase a track has Hitler's name in it, doesn't make it a racist song. And why are they a seminal rock band? What does seminal mean?
Consider a sentence like this one: "Originally a street punk band, they transformed into a faster hardcore punk band with a heavy political influence. From about 1987 on (around the time of Death Before Dishonour) they changed into a crossover thrash band." Can you honestly say that means anything to someone who doesn't already know who Exploited is? This is just another fan page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.68.128.53 (talk) 18:43, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
I put a verify tag on this page a few days ago, and I'm going to remove the unsourced allegations that The Exploited have had anything to do with right-wing circles. I've always thought they were an up-and-down anarchist band. mgekelly 03:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Too right they were an up-and-down anarchist band! They had a song called I Believe In Anarchy, put anarchy A's on bloody everything and suppoted Class War!
The Exploiteds' own website contain a statement that clears up any ambiguity. it states " we are against facism, we are agaisnt racism. our message to all nazis, nazi punks and intolerant left-facists - F*** off" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.89.27.224 (talk) 13:31, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Removed the neutrality-tag, since the bias issue seems to be solved. Citation still very much needed though... Quibus (talk) 11:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
I consider The Exploited to be these genres based on their sound: Hardcore punk, punk metal, crossover thrash,street punk(early), oi!(early) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.214.78 (talk) 23:54, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
It doesn't matter whether you are into Jazz, Blues, Metal, Techno, Handel or Smetana - there's good music and bad music. You have to admit, whatever walk of life you are from, that the Exploited make damn good music. I don't know anyone who lived in the UK when I was there who hasn't heard of them. They are an elemental force in the world of music, and much loved in Britain. It's great to hear they are still going strong. —83.208.165.249 (talk) 20:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
The exploited are hardcore punk and crossover thrash, but in their early years they were street punkCite error: The <ref>
tag has too many names (see the help page). and Oi!.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMetallican (talk • contribs) 23:53, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
The exploited, they ARE oi!. They were originally signed to oi! labels and were part of the 80s oi! scene and had been labelled as one of the first oi! bands. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMetallican (talk • contribs) 00:05, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
The Exploited should be added Oi! (early) to their genre. They are one of the pioneers of Oi!. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMetallican (talk • contribs) 00:15, 16 March 2012 (UTC) And according to their website, they are considered the pioneers of Oi!. [3]
They are Oi!. DO NOT REMOVE IT FROM THE GENRE LISTING! I HAVE ALREADY PUT A SOURCE CITATION FOR IT AND A CONSENSUS FOR IT HAS FINALLY BEEN REACHED! IF YOU REMOVE IT EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE BACK THERE! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMetallican (talk • 5:52, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
Should there be something said here about the band trademark Mohican style that did distinguish them from the first generation punk bands? Being a 1980 Punk (rocker) putting up my Mohican made all the difference! I also have the idea Punk became more and more synonymous to the hardcore scene while before 1980 punk music contained a much wider range of styles and influences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.67.142.245 (talk) 21:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
