Death Rides A Pale Cow (The Ultimate Collection)
''Death Rides a Pale Cow'' is a greatest hits album by the punk rock band the Dead Milkmen, released in 1997. Release The compilation contains two previously unreleased songs: "Milkmen Stomp" and "Labor Day". The band was unable to include tracks from ''Soul Rotation'' and ''Not Richard, But Dick'', as Hollywood Records still retained the rights. It takes its name from an early cassette-only release. Critical reception ''The A.V. Club'' wrote: "Not surprisingly, the album's best moments arrive fairly early in the proceedings, with such banner moments as 'Bitchin' Camaro', 'Beach Party Vietnam' and 'Instant Club Hit' serving to remind fans what was so great about the band in the first place. Latter-day cult hits ('Punk Rock Girl', 'Smokin' Banana Peels') are briskly appealing, but Dead Milkmen was at its best when it was at its smallest and, by extension, meanest. By the end, its bratty edge was dulled to an unfortunate degree, but nearly all of its best moments are on this worthwh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dead Milkmen
The Dead Milkmen is an American punk rock band formed in 1983 in Philadelphia. Their original lineup consisted of vocalist and keyboardist Rodney Linderman ("Rodney Anonymous"), guitarist and vocalist Joe Genaro ("Joe Jack Talcum"), bassist Dave Schulthise ("Dave Blood") and drummer Dean Sabatino ("Dean Clean"). The band distinguished itself in the hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s through its jangly punk sound and sardonic humor delivered with thick Philadelphia accents. They attracted college radio attention with their 1985 debut album, '' Big Lizard in My Backyard'', and the song " Bitchin' Camaro". Extensive touring and further releases helped the band garner an underground following. The band enjoyed international success on the strength of "Punk Rock Girl", a single from their 1988 ''Beelzebubba'' album which entered into MTV rotation. After an ill-fated stint with major record label Hollywood Records, health problems and industry frustrations in the wake of t ...

The A
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender.
