 Love it Mar 18, 2009
easy to find on amazon; shipped quick and arrived in great condition. very happy with the purchase and i absolutely LOVE the cd. listen to it all the time.
Best turned up loud with the top down........ Jan 05, 2009
I am more of a Clash fan and with the split, more of a Strummer fan than a Jones fan. All the same, this is a very very good CD and is best taken with a few brews, the top down, and the volume at 11.
The Only CD by BAD You Need Sep 26, 2008
This cd has all of the major hits for Big Audio Dynamite including a few you may have heard on the radio. The songs are long and tend to bleed together. B.A.D. was a great late 80's band early 90's band but there time passed like alot of other synthizer bands. If you are feeling nostagic and want to relive the 80's this is a good bet.

Spread The News The Maestros Back Dec 03, 2006
From the acrimonious breakup of The Clash - though Joe Strummer later colllaborated with Big Audio Dynamite - came several bands with varying sound from Mick Jones. The group has been known as Big Audio Dynmaite, Big Audio Dynamite II and Big Audio due to the changes in band personnel and approaches to music.
With elements of the sound he refined as guitarist/vocalist in "The Only Band That Matters," Jones delivers lyrics that are sometimes comparable with the snapshot mosaics of John Dos Passos in his classic USA Trilogy and the spoken performances by Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg. Many of the earlier songs intertwine lyrics with cuts from TV shows, movies and music.
Jones especially shows his brilliance in the still politically timely The Bottom Line, guitar-powered E=MC2 and C'mon Every Beat Box. In Sightsee M.C.! and I Turned Out A Punk, Jones pounds away at issues like mindless hate & how many let a musical movement narrow their thinking to extreme levels of nothingness.
The band somewhat devolved from a post-punk dance/rock to a heavier sound comparable with The Clash, and then - with the addition of the legendary Ranking Roger - began to explore the ingredients that made ska essential and timeless.
Planet BAD is a great sampler and shows that a greatest hits package is only as good as the band whose name appears on the cover.

 Got to be one of the Worst Bands I heard Oct 02, 2006
I was forced to listen to this band because everytime I got into a friend's car that loved this band had it blasting in his car. I couldn't stand that ridiculous voice from the lead singer and the band's wacked sound. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not a hater, I love all type of music, from rock, rap, metal, new wave, pop, jazz, freesyle, opera, classical, country, R&B, blue grass, gospel, nu metal, industrial, techno, to the homeless guy on the boardwalk beating on pots and pans for a nickel. I LOVE music. But....WHAT THE HELL DO YOU FIND IN THIS BAND????? THEY SUCKED!!!! BAD....LY!!
