Bad Religion - No Control
This song was one of my
favorites in my high school days... Pretty sure I first heard it on a Crazy Taxi game, along with a bunch of old Offspring songs, and got completely hooked. I was a huge fan of Bad Religions older stuff for a long time, but I had trouble with a lot of their later stuff... It got a little weird and cheesy for me in the later years, although I've come to appreciate some of their "hard rock" stuff of theirs a little more lately.
Listen to I Want to Conquer the World by Bad Religion here.
This song is from their 1989 album
No Control, which is problem my favorite of theirs. It just some good ol' fashioned, fast punk/skate punk sort of stuff, which I was super into particularly in High School. This song is sort of the proto-typical Bad Religion song: shreddy leads, super catchy choruses, fast drums, and highly intellectual lyrics. Their singer, Greg Graffin, has a PhD in Zoology, and is clearly an incredibly smart dude. I used to have to use a dictionary to look up some of the words in their songs haha. I distinctly remember looking up "fecundity" and "trammel" from this track in particular.
