Franklin, TN
Quoted from Gryszzz:But then we Jump.
*snapkick!*
Quoted from Gryszzz:In 88 when I was a wee 14 yr old lad the lead singer of westside Indy's Sweet FA moved in across the street. They put out their 1st album on MCA, which, especially back then, was pretty impressive. I was already a year deep into the Sex Pistols and Fear by then and didn't like hair metal one fuckin bit. But Steve Delong ended up being the best neighbor I ever had. And his girlfriend...MY MY MY--Penny was the foxiest chick in Indy back then. And my neighbor for 6 years. She ended up marrying Jesse James from lol Jackyl.
And that's just the beginning of that story.
Anyhow here's the best song off that album

Took a listen and would have swore that was Slaughter!
Quoted from Gryszzz:Matt Slaughter or Billy Slaughter the realtor? I'm thinking FUCKIN SLAYER.

This was technically a demo I guess but I thought it had so much promise for a full length release. The singer went on to make the Jackass movies 
Here's "The Knife Song" made nominally famous by Jason Lee's segment in Spike Jonze/Blind's Video Days. His corny ad libs even made the CD 
If you like melodical punk pop with a generous serving of existential crises, Nada Surf is for you. Their fifth album, Lucky, is their most consistent release and probably their high point. The Proximity Effect is actually my favorite but it has a couple songs that are embarrassingly bad.

Quoted from vid1900:Going way back to this one.
The Afghan Whigs practically invented the Mobster Soul genre, and Black Love was the pinnacle of their craft.
Dark, driven, smoky and sometimes moments away from flying apart, theses are all great songs for a night of drinking.
Bumping to say thanks to Vid. I was only vaguely familiar with this one but on his recommendation I started listening to it.
Just fantastic. Dark, threatening, flawed, regretful, perfect. It opens with the lyric "tonight I say goodbye/to everyone who loves me." Vocals reminds me of the Stones for some reason. Can't stop listening to it.
Thanks Mister Nineteenhunnit 
Edit: the whole album seems to tell a story and when it culminates in the last five songs it's as good as anything I've heard
