The Muffs, “Blonder and Blonder” (Reprise, 1995)
This band was pretty much peerless in combining a classicist mid-‘60s sense of pop song structure (think Who/Kinks/Beach Boys) with the finest dynamic heaviness of ‘90s alterna-punk. This is their hardest, fastest and best.

The Muffs, “Blonder And Blonder” (Reprise, 1995)
Melanie now gone (*sigh*), their second album puts Kim up front for the most explosive set of their career. Power-driven bubble-punk with huge guitars and Angry Barbie (as Ann Powers tagged Kim) blasting everything in her path with a big-ass Bazooka of hooks and snotty attitude.
