Best albums in order
Fresh Fruit...
In God We Trust Inc
Plastic Surgery Disasters
Frankenchrist (really enjoying this album at the moment)
Bedtime for Democracy (havent listened to this one enough)

and Plastic Surgery Disasters is pretty great too, if not a proper album.

and before someone picks me up on this

I know in god we trust is an EP


I don't have any albums.

I've liked all the stuff I've heard though...


Ok.

I've bought about 10 albums in the three weeks I've been home

:)

Missed them while I was away


Let me know when you like them

i dont see how anyone wouldnt :)


I remember some idiot trying to convince me

Fear was a better band at a DK show years ago...after the show I said, "Now what stupid?" Then a bunch of punks and cowboys from the joint next door fought in the parking lot. Good times.


was this with biafra

if so i hate you


plastic Surgery is great

Moon over marin isn't your typical 'dead kennedys by numbers' song but it may well be my fave


^^ aye

sad song that one.

DKs are one of the most articulate bands ever.


I'd put Frankenchrist higher up

it's a fucking great album.


Plastic Surgery Disasters

is the only album worth listening to.

Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death, granted isn't a proper album, has some of their best work.

Bedtime For Democracy... *shudders*

what we need is LARD!


My 3 year old love 'California Uber Alles'

She loves nothing better than pogoing around the room shouting 'California OOH AHH Alice' whilst it plays.


Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

is one of my most treasured vinyl LPs, still got the big wall poster in it as well.


yes

it's a great album and that poster is one of the best bits of album artwork ever - when you get bored of looking at one side of it you can just turn it over


yeah ive got it too

i only paid about £15 but its worth loads to me, i have the poster over my bed, its really cool. the booklet that comes with plastic surgery... is really good too.


i suppose 'fresh fruit...' is the best

but i listen to frankenchrist more nowadays.

fresh fruit for rotting vegetables (great)
frankenchrist (great)
in god we trust, inc. (great)
plastic surgery disasters (ok)
bedtime for democracy (nowhere near as good, too long)

there is some great unreleased stuff on 'live at the deaf club' too, even if jello bitches about it because he didn't release it. 'gaslight' is brilliant.


I've got

Fresh fruit and in god we trust - I really like Fresh fruit but don't really like in god we trust - I don't know what any of the other albums are like - are any others kind of melodic like the first one?


Love 'em.

I quit my last job to Take this job and shove it.


frankenchrist

is my favourite, Stars and Stripes of Corruption is quite the album closer. Though I probably listen to In God We Trust more than anything else - Religious Vomit FFS.

Moon over Marin is a good call, that song rarely get the credit it deserves.
