Feel Lucky Punk?!! -- Best of the bootleg obscuro punk comps of the way-early '90s? I believe so...
So first off, I thought I posted this a long time ago. But it looks like some old “Drafts” never posted, maybe, kinda... Anyway, dig into this, lemme know what you think. My faves, one day, way back. Pretty much still the same, though Cramps would be higher.
Alright, a good pal got me thinking about my absolute favorite albums. Now anybody checking in on this here web log (or "blog") probably thinks about such a list 7 to 8 times a day. And while these are pointless exercises, given our intense emotions/opinions/bowel movements over such trivialities, they are nonetheless a hoot by any measure. And, also given that two beers in also tends to grease my memory wheels over this topic, I shall leap onto this mood and extol, in fact, MY FAVORITE FULL-LENGTH LPs OF ALL TIME (or at least for the next week; and assuming I don't blank on absolute faves that, on the way home from this bar, I will bonk my head and disclaim, "Doh!". Yes, I feel like a fuckhead typing at a bar, but you'd have to see this place, it's pretty laid back and sorta dead tonight, so no one seems to mind...) So I will proceed, and this shall be a maleable beast from here until my death bed, wherein I will exclaim, "Does anybody have a brainscan memory chip blood back-up of the Ramones Rocket to Russia on them? Or was it Leave Home...?
