I'm done with FM 94.9 here in San Diego. I'm not quite sure if Social Distortion hails from here or not, but this station plays them every five fucking minutes. I never really had an opinion about them before, but I honestly can't stand it anymore. The way that dude sings through his nose is so ridiculously contrived... I can deal with that in some country but this is (faux)punk. It just doesn't work.

He absolutely murders that cover of Dylan's "Don't think Twice" that you prob heard a few years ago. I have heard it 3 times this week.

Everybody seems to love them; that's why I posted. What's the appeal?

A: Great songs that are instant classics, the first time you hear them (like a punk CCR).
B: I don't hear them every 5 fucking minutes.

I think I cover one or two of their songs in a side band. I've never heard the original versions of most of the covers, nor do I know who wrote some of them. But I think there's 1 or 2 by them.

Thus, no idea about how they sound. Why aren't you on satellite radio yet, B?

I'm sorry you feel that way. Mike Ness is one the coolest muthas ever and most of their albums I never get tired of hearing.

He's got the rough-boy-who-knows-he's-fucked-up deal down tight.

I am still trying to figure out how to get my ipod to play in my car. My stereo says it is "XM ready" though. What do I need?

Your car stereo ("xm ready") means it needs you to sign up for an account, I guess, assuming you have the antenna dealy on top. Pretty much a phone call and ten bucks a month.

It's nice to have indoors, too. An antenna in the window, run a line to a stereo somewhere, bada bing. Good content, where you can enjoy it. Mine's hardwired to the side of the house. Shit's on like ten hours a day.

First of all, San Diego doesn't have much in the way of radio. Secondly, Social D is from Orange County. And lastly, they're one of the best early punk bands from SoCal. So, you just hush and drop in a CD!

At some point, with any regular radio station, they're gonna get you hatin' on someone who might not deserve it.

Rec me a good one. Maybe it's just hearing the same 2 songs over and over that's skewing me.

Old Kentucky, Social D has been around for 20 years. Go check out their older stuff before you judge them on a current song.
The only thing that got on my nerves was that there had to be a pick slide in every single one of their songs.

Some may recommend a studio album but I think "Live at the Roxy" fucking smokes. It encompasses most of their best songs plus Mike Ness's fuck you diatribes.

Great live band.

Also, not sure what songs are playing out there but I know Ness's solo work tends to lean towards cow punk and outlaw country type stuff.

Yeah...that live album really is damn good.

I'm a fan of Mommy's Little Monster just 'cause that's when I started listening to them...love the 1945 single as well.

And, I'll never forget the first time I saw 'em in a bar with like 50 other people where they were selling hand painted T-shirt for 5 bucks a pop and played a crap load of covers, mostly Stones stuff, to keep the set going for close to two hours and several broken guitar strings.

Saw 'em tour later on for the self-titled one, but something about packing a smallish venue with a couple thousand people to see 'em play a solid hour or so set and leave was a little disappoionting, if entirely expected.

I think they're one of the only, if not the only, hardcore band of their era that was able to maintain their fan base and still progress musically.

[b]Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell[/i] (1992)

AMG Wrote:

Social Distortion finally achieves the perfect balance between their two major influences, the country anguish of Johnny Cash and the furious punk rock sound of early Clash, on their 1992 album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, making it the band's finest hour. The band tears through a fair share of rollicking, straight-ahead hard rock with songs like "Cold Feelings" and "When She Begins," but they also show a reflective, heartfelt, country-inspired side with songs like "This Time Darlin'" and the hard rock tribute to "Folsom Prison Blues," the cold blooded, murderous tale "99 to Life."

At times the band slows down the pace a bit more than on earlier albums, but the band hasn't lost any of the edge or attitude they had as the brash young punks who recorded Mommy's Little Monster. Social Distortion classics "Bad Luck" and "Born to Lose" find a more mature Mike Ness still continuing to play the familiar role of the steadfast underdog with better results than in previous efforts.

This album had all the earmarks of a major commercial success with some radio friendly tunes and strong production, but it never found the large audience Epic records expected. Regardless of the sales totals, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell finds Orange County's most enduring punk band, Social Distortion, at their creative peak, and this album is the crown jewel of their entire catalog.

That's some great stuff. I have the 1945 single too, on 12". I do like the s/t and Between Heaven and Hell albums a lot too. I think it's hard to go wrong with those three albums or the 1945 single. I have a couple other studio albums too, but those are hit and miss, to these ears, but still pretty good.

I'm not sure that's true. Last time I shopped car stereos (admittedly > 2 years ago) "XM Ready" meant you still had to buy the fairly expensive tuner to go in your trunk.

The separate tuners are around a hundred bucks, are now the size of ipods, and mount of little armie-dealies on the dash anywhere. But different car manufacturers mean different things by "xm ready," that's true. Acura means it for real... just sign up. Others, I don't know what they mean, maybe just "antenna already installed."

Yeah I think when I saw it, it meant "you can plug the tuner into the head unit, which will then display the name of the station."
