i wish cracker could regain their mojo but alas, their last two releases have left me pining for the olden days, when cracker rocked. their new release, "sunrise in the land of milk and honey" has a few good tunes but in my humble opinion, misses the mark more often than not. check out a few keepers.

the damned have been around since the mid-70's and continue to this day to embody the punk ethic. one of the most famous punk groups of all times, they produced some of the best punk rock anthems like 'smash it up', 'stab your back' and 'love song', just to name a few. so, nevermind the sex pistols, here's the damned.
