Minutemen - Double Nickels On the Dime Album

The Double Nickels on the Dime album is a masterpiece of 1980s indie rock. You really can’t fit it neatly into a genre as it has aspects of punk, funk, hardcore and jazz all rolled into one. There are 43 songs here and they all have meat, including the covers of tunes from Credence Clearwater Revival, Steely Dan and Van Halen. Punk fans will love it for its swagger and cultural commentary. Progressive rockers may love it for its musical arrangement and experimentation. Classic rockers will appreciate the Minutemen's respect for the past, and love their nostalgic bent. In fact, there’s something for everyone on this album and every song is a winner.
