| Comments | Yes, everything the famous DC band ever released. The first sXe band. Fast, screaming, just plain good hardcore. I wish the sXe bands today sounded like this instead of the hardline crap grindcore they try to push off as punk these days...I might have more respect for straight edge people. |
| Best Songs | Straight Edge, Salad Days |

| Comments | I love this band, and this is pretty much the only thing I've ever heard from them, even though I know there are about a million MTX albums out there. It's the kind of music that makes you happy no matter what mood you're in. Just try to listen to You're the Only One and not smile, I dare ya. |
| Best Songs | Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba, You're the Only One, Dumb Little Band |
| Band | Operation Ivy |
| Release | Energy/Hectic/MRR (CD) |

| Comments | The band that made Lookout! famous's only full-length (plus two EP's on the CD version). They invented ska-punk and still do it better then anyone else who has ever tried. I have never met anyone who doesn't like OpIvy, and I'd guess that just about everyone reading this has or has heard this album and loves it as much as me. |
| Best Songs | Sound System, Missionary, Crowd, Bad Town, Yellin' in my Ear, and all of the rest.... |
| Band | The Queers |
| Release | Beat Off (CD) |
| Record Label | Lookout! Records |
| Rating | |
| Comments | Classic Queers. Not as good as Love Songs for the Retarded, but still one of their best. Plenty of catchy Queers leads and snotty, stupid little vocals. |
| Best Songs | Ben Weasel, Grounded, I Live this Life |
| Band | The Queers |
| Release | A Day Late and a Dollar Short (CD) |
| Record Label | Lookout! Records |
| Rating |  . If you like <i>really</i> low-fi punk, this might be for you, but don't expect to hear the Queers</TD>

| Comments | These songs are pretty good as surf-punk pop goes. Actually, they're very good. But they're just not good Queers. I can't speak for everyone, but I was hoping for another Love Songs for the Retarded, but instead we got a bunch of really slow surf rock. It is still very good and worth the money, but not one of the best. |
| Best Songs | No Tit, Punk Rock Girls, I'm OK You're Fucked, Brush Your Teeth |
