Not even my faves necessarily but it is still a massive 5
Biggest 5 ever.
Best punk band ever.
Best lyricist of all time.
East Bay Ray playing the 12 string electric bazouki you say? no problem.
Moon over Marin is their best song

A holiday in Erinsboro
Dr Karl loves rock n rooooooollllllll
TOAD
FISHā
Thps1 was also my introduction haha
The American Wasteland soundtrack is great cos of it mostly being classic punk covers. Got such a soft spot for that Alkaline Trio track on there.
Sorry off topic
Absolutely love them. Probably the first punk band I really went for and they were a massive influence on me as a young teenager. Holiday In Cambodia must be in with a shout as the greatest punk single of all time and all of their LPs are top notch.
Jello also did some amazing stuff in the early 90s (Lard and his album with NoMeansNo) that I was also huge into at the time. Heās an absolute one off and itās a real shame there arenāt more like him in the music industry. Huge 5. Hope they do really well
All the covers are pretty good tbf. The Thrice mash up of Minor Threat, Taking Back Sundayās Descendents mash up and MCR doing Astro Zombies are up there
Really love this one and the way the music follows the shape of the riot, from the initial sparks to the raging adrenaline high through to the energy being spent and the cops shutting it down.
First three albums, and In God We Trust, are just excellent. Really tough to choose a favourite. Iām leaning towards Frankenchrist as the lyrics, particularly on the first half of the album, are just devastatingly good. This Could Be Anywhere is probably the highlight but these two give it a run for its money:
5, if that wasnāt clear!
& @TKC Agree so much with both of you. Also really enjoy Fall Out Boys cover of Start Today on there, my introduction to Gorilla Biscuits. and i have a soft spot for FOB.
Forgot bout the From Autumn To Ashes version of Letās Have A War, thatās a good one too.
also forgot Emanuel as a band in general
another band to file under bands i have heard a good few tracks by that i really fucking like but for one reason or another havenāt done a deep dive. shall remedy this in light of this thread.
5 for me.
One of those bands I donāt feel worthy of listening to. Just too good. The fusion of surf guitars with Jelloās warbling punkness is such a good vibe and the lyrics are a cut above.
I saw them without Jello play at a punk festival in Brixham, Devon. That was pretty wild. Parkinsons were also on the bill.
good band, donāt listen to loads of them for some reason
East Bay Ray is a great guitarist and is what sets them apart from other punk bands. Why donāt all punk bands have non stop delay soaked riffs?
Always enjoyed them when Iāve listened to them. But that isnāt that often and need to be in the mood to listen to them.
A 3 for now. If Iām in the mood to listen to them later, it may go up to a 4.
Well they donāt have Jello soā¦
Donāt think itās really fair to hold this against them in the context of the band as a whole tbh
Used to great effect in Green Room
Also, reposting from the old US election threadā¦
Best best of/comp of all time i reckon. Near perfect. Plus it has pull my strings on it.
Oh yeah - easy 5. California uber alles, pull my strings, holiday in cambodia, police truck, moon over marinā¦ all right up there as some of my favourite songs of all time.
