Introducing The Dead Kennedy's Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. This group was a shocker in the day due to the band's name and hard-core punk sound. My parents, though not thrilled with the Kennedy family, were visibly angered by the name.
The famous song from DK's first album was California Uber Alles. Critics call it an anthem directed toward Governor Jerry Brown's hippy-nazi tendancies (???) but WTH could figure out what was said?
I would file this album and group under tasteless entertainment, certainly not as fun loving as Pooh.

Okay...are we up to 100 tonight?

The DK name was in poor taste but they were certainly one of the most creative punk bands ever (at least on the US side of the pond). That album is and was a classic and was instrumental in helping me break my corporate/classic rock habit and put me on the path to college/alt/indie. For that I thank them even though I think Jello Biafra is a fool.
