Very nice, until those punks starts "singing"... Jello's voice is an acquired taste for sure, but if you can acquire the taste it will pay dividends as the DK's are a mighty fine band with extremely clever and witty lyrics about the surreal culture and corrupt underbelly of American life. Most people didn't "get" them because of the provocative song titles, some even took them at face value! I consider them the most important American band, not least because they dared to have that name but they hit so many nails on so many heads, you could tell they had an effect by the amount of time Jello got beaten up and his house burned down. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win - Ghandi. Only the Dead Kennedy's didn't win, they went bankrupt fighting a trumped up obscenity charge. Oh well, the revolution has stalled for while... ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : This lists always miss the greats: Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcjzoydyQIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcjzoydyQIY Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcjzoydyQIY DK's 1980 song, featured on there first album "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables".

It's the kind of lightweight, amusing contest that has obvious appeal: 1) we all regard ourselves as experts even if (like me) you've never picked up a guitar 2) You can indulge in some gratifying sneering at the lack of taste displayed by others' choices 3) You can tear your hair out at the priceless songs the unwashed masses have overlooked. My choices would for sure have included Peter Gunn – Duane Eddy (makes No 58); Don’t Fear The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult (No 34); Day Tripper – The Beatles (No 28); Paranoid – Black Sabbath (No 26); and You Really Got Me – The Kinks (No 9). But if someone had challenged me to pick the greatest ever riff off the top of my head I would have gone for Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin - and that is indeed the song chosen. Was it a shoo-in?
