Steve at The Otter Limits and I have been talking ALL/Descendents a lot lately and today he sent me a text with the idea that we should each do a post of our Top 5 (or so) favorite songs by ALL and the Descendents. I thought it was a great idea. As I started to put together the lists, I realized that I would never be able to narrow it down to a Top 5 because everything that this (or these depending on how you look at it) band has done is fantastic IMHO. Sure there is stuff that is better than others and there is some stuff that is not that good, but on each album there are songs that I would consider classics. The other thing I realized in making these lists is that if you asked me to compile this same list in a week or a month it could end up completely different.
You can read Steve's version here.
