31) It's Expected I'm Gone 32) #1 Hit Song 33) Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth? 34) Shit from an Old Notebook 35) One Reporter's Opinion 36) Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing 37) Toadies 38) Take 5, D. 39) My Heart and the Real World 40) History Lesson - Part II 41) The Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts 42) There Ain't Shit on T.V. Tonight 43) This Ain't No Picnic 44) Jesus and Tequila 45) Little Man with a Gun in His Hand [Double Nickels LP] 46) The Cheerleaders 47) Take Our Test 48) Tour-Spiel 49) Spoken Word Piece 50) Time [Ballot Result] 51) Bermuda [Ballot Result]. One thing is certain: the Minutemen certainly remained true to the aesthetic of their name, specializing in short, sharp bursts of song that had enough twists in their 50 seconds to outsmart any listener. These fellas were a key part of my '80s high school experience and I have no idea where I'd be without them today. God save D. Boon. God bless the Minutemen. (And yeah, I changed the title back; the other one just wouldn't do.)

While I much prefer the Mats and Husker Du to the Minutemen, "Double Nickels On The Dime" is a great album--one I stupidly lost years ago and haven't yet replaced. Nice job.

I prefer the Huskers to the Minutemen, but not the Mats...

How do you make a single artist mix of a band who's every note is essential? Great mix, but it depresses me to see this & consider that there's never going to be enough bands who exhibit the Minutemen's intelligence & earthiness. Just last week I saw a clip of Watts giving a very heartfelt justification for selling 'This Ain't No Picnic' to some auto-maker (which, until then, I was unaware of) to raise funds for D's ailing & uninsured dad.
