don`t forget about good riddance. easily my fav band on fat wreck. operation phoenix, ballads from the revolution, a comprehensive guide to modern rebellion and bound by ties of blood and affection are all classics.

in 8th grade I sold my rap collection and bought an alien workshop beanie,a skateboard, and nofx punk in drublic along with a slew of other fat releases. I actually never bought a lagwagon disc. I think maybe it was because this kid down the street acted like he was there biggest fan. This kid was kind of a douche and played guitar in my bros band. One time we all went to a show and the way there my best friend started a pit in the car. Someone totally kicked the lagwagon guy in the head and it was kind of scary because he was driving and whatnot. Luckily no one was hurt.

You´re damn right that the first 3 Lagwagon albums kicks ass. I own them on vinyl and cd, and to this day I still get amazed how fuckin' brilliant the songs are on "Duh" and "Thrashed".
I haven't seen Lagwagon and Nofx play live since like -96, so imagine the nostalgia of getting to see them + Bad Religion on the same bill just a month ago in Gothenburg, Sweden. Great times.

I actually just re-bought "Hoss" last night from DownloadPunk (I sold the CD many years ago) and it's not bad. Not as good as "Trashed" by any means, but pretty solid nonetheless…

Absolutely love Lagwagon! I've seen them live many times and I'm going to see them again in September when they play BB Kings in NYC. While they definitely fall into the "punk" category, Fat Mike had a hard time signing them to Fat Wreck back in the day because he thought they sounded (and looked) too "metal." Make no mistake, they are awsome musicians who play some very technical start-stop riffs. 'Trashed' was the album that got me into them (but I was in college back in 1994 - insert old man joke here). I agree that 'Blaze' was probably their weakest, but they followed it up with a very strong release in 'Resolve.' Grab a few free songs off the Fat Wreck site. Thanks for the post!

The only Lagwagon album I ever gave a spin was Double Plaidinium (which I assume was one of their weaker ones). Didn't think much to 'em live, though it is pretty hard to spot their singer unless you're standing in the first few rows… :) Bad Religion's last two albums have been awesome, they seem to have that hunger back. But, yeah, they brought out at least two shockers earlier this decade.

So funny you posted this. Like a few folks who have already posted I've been on a serious Jr. High days music kick and I just broke this bad boy out after about three straight weeks of solid, Descendents – Milo Goes to College and Face to Face – Don't Turn Away. Trashed is so awesome. It's actually the only Lagwagon record I've ever listened to come to think of it.

I've actually barely been able to listen to Bad Religion for almost a decade now. Maaaaaaybe "Suffer" here and there. They had some really great songs spread across their discography, but… the vocals just drive me insane. Can't stomach 'em anymore.

I haven't listened to No Use for a Name in like 15 years. I should revisit some of that old stuff and see how it sits with me today, heh…

Good record! I saw them also on this tour… No Use For A Name's "Don't Miss The Train" and "Daily Grind" are also recommended pop punk albums. NOFX's "Longest Line" also deserves a mention. I guess all "pop punk" band's catalogs are a bit hit and miss. Only Bad Religion could put out great records in a row (up to Generator). And of course The Descendents whole catalog is gold…
