I like them very much.  Loved them as a disgruntled teen...and always thought Jello Biafra was the real deal.

When I was in high school. Kinda fell out of the hardcore punk thing though. Still good stuff regardless.

There are serveral songs that I really like, not sure about the whole catalog though. It all sounds relatively the same I think, with a few stand outs.

One of the only punk bands I like.

If you've never heard it, Live at the Deaf Club is probably one of the best live albums of all time

I like the Dead Kennedy's, they're always fun to listen to, but they're so hit-or-miss for me. Especially their later hardcore punk style music.

Also, Holiday in Cambodia is one of the best punk songs ever.
