The Dead Milkmen-Big Lizard in My Backyard [1985]
I'll always have great memories of this band. I remember being in 7th grade, a fan of punk music and good comedy, when my friend Nate found this cassette in his uncle's van and we listened to it. Not only was this one of the most fun albums I had ever heard, but it was hilarious as well. "Bitchin' Camaro" is probably the best known song on the album and it led to me incorporating the term 'bitchin' into my vernacular to describe awesome nouns. As I return to this album after 5 years deprived of The Dead Milkmen, I can honestly say that this album is still just as great as it was the first time I heard it. I hope you have as great of a time listening as I did!
