My Favourite Albums (480 music items)

"Dead Kennedys used to be highly smart and distinctive hardcore band with more than handful of classic hit songs to spare. This album is a timeless classic and a time capsule of the early 80's Californian punk culture."

RS: 40 Greatest Punk Albums of All-Time (40 music items)

"Dead Kennedys' debut LP is the ultimate hardcore comedy album, with singer Jello Biafra playing Johnny Rotten as goofball satirist on songs like "California Über Alles" and "Holiday in Cambodia." Fueled by the band's technically sharp guitarist, "East Bay" Ray Pepperell, Fresh Fruit also had more musical fire than contemporary efforts by similarly over-the-top hardcore shock-rockers like Fear or the Adolescents."
