Dead Kennedys Review / The Black Crowes Preview (Album 29)

I heard somewhere that the Dead Kennedys set up punk, or were the kings of punk, or blazed the trail for punk. Or something like that. Somewhere. Anyways, for good or bad, it's the truth. I don't really like this album, I'll be honest. I don't like the songs, I don't really like the sound of the Dead Kennedys, and I guess that's mostly it. But that's kind of a big deal. The super short songs and strange song matter don't appeal to me. I see how they may have, being something entirely different than had basically ever been heard before. I really only like Holiday in Cambodia because it was an actual song in my ears, not the quick little spaz on the drums like the rest of the songs. That and Guitar Hero.

Favorite Songs:
     Holiday in Cambodia
     Viva Las Vegas

Album: Shake Your Money Maker

"The record stayed on the U.S. charts for 18 months. It was not groundbreaking stuff, but when the music was as funky and punchy as this, it did not need to be. The recording career of The Black Crowes has since followed a somewhat erratic trail, but then their reputation was already assured with this remarkably assured debut." - Lino Portela Gutierrez

And here I thought 'shake your money maker' was strictly a hip-hop term. Silly me. I apologize for not being on in a long time. I'm going to school. So that takes up most of my time. Looking forward to this album.
