I used to listen to a lot of this sort of thing when I was a bit younger. My beloved Phlegm Fatales were heavily influenced by Bad Religion and their ilk when we first started out. I think it had something to do with being skint and unhappy. It's odd listening to the music that people in their 40s made when they were younger than you are. Suffer is a great record - it's short (long punk albums are almost always a bad idea, unless you're The Clash), it's angry, and it changed the face of punk music beyond repair. Unfortunately, it mostly went shit (see: your little brother's record collection), but Bad Religion were cool as fuck. I like the artwork too.
Notable tracks: 'Suffer', 'Do What You Want', '1000 More Fools'.
Night train is groovy
An orange jubilee
Feels good comin' and goin'
I'm warm all over me
Fire up the crack boys
And tie off my arm
Cinch up my diaper
Turn the TV on
Give me another blow job
Before I'm on the nod
Say you'll always love me and
Never do me harm
Never do me harm
Never do me harm
Well you're a preacher's daughter
And I'm a bastard's son...
There can be nothing wrong with an album that includes these lyrics. Mark Lanegan is a new discovery for me, and my life is a better thing with him in it.
