What is it with American alternative bands and their shitty KISS covers? Utter shite.

I once had a Bosstones album from the library and I only really liked Royal Oil and The Impression That I Get (admittedly a fantastic song), but that American Ska/Punk thing never really floated my boat.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Oh shiiiiiiii. I've been waiting my whole life for this moment.

1. Don't Worry Desmond Dekker
2. Kinder Words
3. Devil's Night Out
4. Holy Smoke (Live from the Middle East version)
5. The Magic of Youth

I've probably got like a couple dozen songs from these guys I'd put in any given top 5.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

I think you would like their album "The Magic Of Youth". A little less punk and more pop/ska.

Honorable mention to Issachar, a song I'm not sure is objectively good, but I really love.

Issachar rules.

They still tour, seeing 'em in a few weeks. Well worth it, great live band.

It is a great song, I love that whole album their best IMO but then I never listened past QtA.

Bad in Plaid
They Came to Boston
Our Only Weapon
Don't Know How to Party
Someday I Suppose
Almost Anything Goes

That's six but who cares, a fun band and I should explore their later material.

I'm sort of the same, other than the tracks on the mix that Flex made a while back. They're mostly pretty good songs, but yeah, I'm only really familiar through QtA.

I agree, Flex should make that mix available again.

I agree, Flex should turn his ON/OFF switch to OFF.
Yeah, I'm in.

A 90's band, alright :cool:
I've got their one big album and the starter comp Flex made me awhile ago.
1. Don't Worry Des
2. Rascal King
3. The Route That I Took
4. The one from the Clueless trailer, not the one they play in the movie.
5. Numbered Days
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
