Social Distortion

I loved them so much just for Mike Ness, one of my heroes from some time ago, but also because they pale in comparison to many contemporary bands (an album by X is worth half of their career). The period of the self-titled was a bit embarrassing, but they always maintained a certain dignity. Ness's solo work deserves to be revisited too, a guy who ended up doing punk purely by chance (bluesman by birth).
