Yea that's a great album. One of the best I've heard.

Great topic, keep myself through looking it.

It's tough to choose one, but at this moment, it's possibly Plastic Surgery Disasters - Dead Kennedys. "Terminal Preppie" was a major laugh when I heard it first in an era where the Preppie was growing in social status in The US while "Trust Your Mechanic" also hit a home run for me knowing about the US public's love of Psychiatrists. It was more to do with the time, but there it is. I also could have said Fresh Fruit or even Frankenchrist, but in the long run the best DKs non-compilation album is down to their '82 album for me, with the inner sleeve booklet hitting the final home run (Winston Smith's artwork is great!), making this my favorite Punk album (at the moment...).

Subhumans—From the Cradle to the Grave
As always, I have trouble picking favorites, but this is certainly one of my favorite punk albums and don't think anyone has mentioned it. It's a raw, angry and sarcastic album but also one that pushes the boundaries of punk. One of its greatest accomplishments to me is the fact that it closes with a furious 17 minute long track which manages to simultaneously cover a lot of ground and still retain that righteous punk energy and emotion.

i would agree 100% with Plastic Surgery Disasters.....it's really the only DK album that i still listen to on a regular basis....seriously every song on there is a classic

i have not listened to From The Cradle to the Grave in well over 15 years....when it comes to Subhumans i almost always go for The Day The Country Died.....i think i'll throw Cradle on the ole ipod and listen tonight

Listened to FTCTTG this weekend its an awesome record, I still gotta side with The Day though it is one of those records that touches my heartstrings. Great record though and I can see where there is certainly a place in someones best of discography Jansz.

I like all NOFX albums

That's rather masochistic ^

Because they have released some god awful stuff. Actually all their albums are a mix of cool and god awful, guess that is part of the NOFX charm, they're enduringly retarded.
