Ned's Atomic Dustbin - God Fodder
/Label: Columbia
Year: 1991
Genre: Alternative Rock
Recommending Person: Paul Conant
I was first made aware of Ned's Atomic Dustbin by the amazing soundtrack on the NCAA Football 06. Maybe the best soundtrack in video game history, right up there with MVP Baseball 05, FIFA 98 Road to the World Cup, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
While "Kill Your Television" is the biggest hit on the album it is not the only enjoyable song on God Fodder. The entire record is full of punk rock goodness I think best exemplified by "Throwing Things". While Trip Shakespeare was over taking by the grunge dominance of 1991, Ned's Atomic Dustbin was huge in the UK and was able to have a fantastic career.
Fun record, Fun Fact: Carl Winslow is quoted from Die Hard "Why don't you wake up and smell what you've been shoveling!"
