I love the Muffs, but I forgot I love the Muffs. One of the dubious pleasures of youtube Is rediscovering bands you loved from decades passed, It doesn't always end well. So its all Muffs all the time at the minute.
And they were one of the very few 90s punk bands that were actual punk and not Green Day pop punk nonsens.
And getting back into a bit of Bile as well, quality tunes.
this second, Lullaby by The Spill Canvas. at work I just throw on my old ipod with a few thousand songs and let it shuffle, I honestly dont even notice its playing unless someone points out a song but definatly notice when its silent.
Not quite as good as Raise Your Tiny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven or Yanqui U.X.O (my personal favourite of theirs, even though RYTFLAH tends to have a stronger following), but it's still great.

I was so excited when I found out Underworld was doing the opening ceremony. And I was definitely not disappointed. I don't really care about the Olympics themselves, but this soundtrack had me glued to the ceremony.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

I disagree with your statement of Inflammable Material being one of the best Punk albums of all time they do the punk style well but they don't really add anything to the genre like punk albums such as the Ramones, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, London Calling, Double
Nickels on the Dimes, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, etc do. What separates a good album from a great album to me is a great album not only does there genre justice but also takes it into a new direction or it invents a new style of music altogether (like the Ramones is often cited by
many music critics and musicologists as the first Punk Rock group) imo.

A great album's primary quality is that it sounds good and inflammable materiel is quintessentially a good album. I would rate it above anything by the sex pistols and while I am fond of the Dead Kennedys did Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables really do anything markedly different? One of my favourite punk bands are Bad Religion and they can't be described as unique (aside from the quality of their song writing).
Personally I am wary of lauding music simply for taking a new direction, it is the quality that matters, and at the end of the day there are no correct answers in matters of taste

Well, the reason I find Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables to be a great album is it combines the bizarre humour of the Ramones and the political angst of UK punk, the bullet fast vocals, the surf rock and rockabilly twang gives it a bit of a hook, also being a hardcore punk band they're
obviously more fast and abrasive than your typical punk rock band these elements create a memorable experience and isn't just a simple rehash of the genre they took other older ideas combined them in a way that hadn't been done before creating something new. Another concept Jello
Biafra does is imitating the caricature of his enemies, I don't think the Clash or Sex Pistols ever did that, I know they would point out there disagreements with society and politics but I don't remember there ever being an element of mimicry in there songs. Never Mind the Bollocks, is
pretty important album for punk (and in rock in general) because there wasn't any other albums at the time that really matched it in terms of controversy, vulgarity and the lyrical themes were fairly original for the time (songs about abortion, attacking the monarchy, attacking certain record
labels, dissing the New York punk scene, etc I don't think that had been done before), some of it comes across as cheap shock tactics but really not many bands before sounded like them (sure stuff like the Ramones and Stooges are both aggressive and primitive as well but they took
that style in a different direction). And out of all the bands that tried to imitate the Sex Pistols success few if any have matched there infamous attitude, also there trashy look and political dissatisfaction was reflective of the world around them (70's UK was going though an economic
recession).
