I figured this would be kinda fun. The list of the top 885 was kind of stupid and useless at the same time. So let's make our own! Of course 885 is was too many, so 15 should work.

Not including Razed In A New Division Of Agony obviously, because that's all anyone would put LOL Kidding obviously.

I'll post mine in a bit ;)

"Let me come over" is the one you have, there is Asides from Buffalo tom which is a compliation, has a classy cover of the Jam's going Underground on it. Pre "let me come over" is more heavy (produced by J Mascis), after it more polished. Good taste mate, how was the game? Watched Chelski and Barca fall over a lot myself.

Absolute classic band - another BT fan here. You'd do well to track down 'Sleepy-eyed', recorded live to tape (largely) in an old church I think. Good to see that fellow NO fans appreciate great groups like Buffalo Tom and Fugazi here on NOOL.

One word to the wise though - it's not very popular here in Aus these days to use the phrase 'Abbo' - that one disappeared around the same time as the words "strewth" "corker" "bonza" and "decent prime minister" here in Aus.
