This is the first installment from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and to put it bluntly this album is brilliant. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes already had around 5 7" out but this is their first album. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is a part time band which has members from many fine Punk bands such as NOFX, Lagwagon and many more.

This album is a tribute to 70s music, I think, or possibly a complete piss take, either way it is a great album. The album covers populor songs of the 60s and converts them into Punk, what more could you ask for? The originals! (well possibly?)

They cover such artists as: John Denver, Bily Joel, Cliff Richard, Niel Diamond, Elton John and many more. Here is a list of the tracks on the album:

1) Danny's Song
2) Leaving On A Jet Plane
3) Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard
4) One Tin Soldier
5) Uptown Girl
6) I Am A Rock
7) Sweet Caroline
8) Seasons In The Sun
9) Fire And Rain
10) Nobody Does It Better
11) Many
12) Rocket Man

If you choose to listen to this album, this is a great way to get into Punk music. Although the album is short you don't mind as the quality of the music is so good. To find out more about Me First and the Gimme Gimmes go to the website: www.FatWreck.com.

This sounds like a really fun album, I would love to listen to it. I will have to start searching to see if I can find it. - Thanks Donna.

I do like their music, but just think that they way the lead singer (can't remember his name) goes "YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH" after every song.
