2) JGJR, I still think it's insane that you take the last two SDRE LP's over the first two.
3) I was bored on Youtube last night and watched a documentary on "Dookie" that was pretty cool. They interview Paul Westerberg, Bob Mould, Elvis Costello...

1) Sorry, but going off on tangents is what we do around these parts.
2) Yeah, I know. Everyone else does, too, except for maybe one other person I know. I don't even like the s/t album at all. It sounds like an unfinished demo to me. I think I just heard that one and Diary (which I like) way too late, though, honestly. But yeah, the last two blow it out of the water in terms of songwriting, musicianship, etc.
3) I'd like to see this. Link please?

Is it the one that says "full documentary" or the VH1 one?

Mineral was fucking terrible, but Christie Front Drive were/are solid dudes and a good band. They weren't really "marketed" at all. They played all the same shows as the other bands you mentioned from that era. They had major labels all over them, but directed the labels to Jimmy Eat World instead. Eric is still making good music.

Never heard of them at the time (this is before they hit). Been listening to them ever since. My faves would be 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk but I enjoy all their records.

I like you. And man...those early records are definitely some of the best pop punk of all time, IMO.

Agreed! I still love all of those early records today and still them play them occasionally.

I feel like Green Day found their sound pretty much right away too. Some of those type bands take a couple records to really hit a stride, but Green Day sounded like Green Day from the very first 7".

Yes, they had songs about their cocks and played/recorded a fuck-ton of covers and I can see how that could look like Green Day continued that, but I think Green Day's banter/back and forth was always there, but apparently now it's total cheese. Before leaving Lookout!, Green Day were very very independent and came from a very DIY scene, I mean they got shit from Tim Yo and Gilman for being "too poppy" and got made fun of by 'punks' even back then. "Sour Grapes" pretty much sums up Descendents and Dickies present day complaints, IMHO.
