heretic:

bucky_2300:
Ahh, Epitaph. Mitch Clem's favourite whipping boy. :)
a pack of wolves:
I dunno, 2 and 3 are pretty solid. I never bothered with any after that since most of the bands on them looked pretty bad, but those two... New Bomb Turks, Poison Idea, NOFX (I still reckon 'We Threw Gasoline...' is one of their finest moments), Bad Religion back when they were still good, Cramps, Red Aunts and a slew of bands that would probably get irritating over a whole album (Undeclinable Umbuscade for one) but sounded just peachy there. Okay, so you had to sit through the Voodoo Glow Skulls and a few other duds but there was some good stuff to be had on Epitaph back then. Not now unfortunately, although at least Anti has Tom Waits and The Locust.

4 was my first taste of punk, got me into dropkick murpheys (good rats)
NOFX song catchy as hell: Jaw, Knee, Music
"johnny has a problem, johnny's outa control.."

Lower Class Brats rock as well...
and Millencolin are certainly awesome. Pennybridge Pioneers is a great album. I love Material Boy.
Yeah, I agree about the Punk O Ramas, they did broaden my horizons in the punk genre when I was first dabbling in it. 4 was really good, and 6 as well. It sort of started going down hill after 6 though.
Compilations are a godsend I find. I have so many of them, from epitaph, new red archives, lookout records etc etc. Thats why I know so many bands that I do know.
Because you buy a compilation if you recognize a couple bands, but then you listen to all the bands on it, starting liking a bunch more, than you find compilations with the new bands you discovered on that comp and it just keeps going and going.
