Yep. Jacko. Mark Jackson. The Highwayman (shudder). Oi!

Edit: Did you ever give him back? I hope not. Please keep him if you didn't and collect him from the obscurity department if you did.

Epona, thanks! I know a few 'bricks and motar' places I could try to see if they have any that'll let me 'try before I buy' - I know pretty much on first listen if i'll want it + I have a very slow connection...

But can I keep you on standbuy in case?

I actually like Rancid, they're not exactly Oi although have some obvious influences from it. Lately they seem to have been heading more towards the Reggae/Ska/Punk side of their music rather than the speed stuff. They seem to be a band that wear their influences on their sleeve, but wear them well.
Not heard much of NOFX, they seem ok

So tell me about Operation Ivy...

There isnt much to tell , Leonis. They are punk/ska gods from the time when Black Flag and Fugazi were still around. I havent met a single person who doesnt like them.

Two stellar names there. If they are in the same league, I like them already.
