Search - Die Toten Hosen :: Learning English: Lesson One

This loving tribute to the sounds of '77 by a veteran German band (translation: The Dead Trousers) will wring a nostalgic tear out of punk diehards everywhere. The 19 covers salute a motley crew of period luminaries--The Vibrators, The Adverts, The Damned, Eddie & The Hot Rods, and Sham 69 included--and each features a guest turn by the original artists. The late Johnny Thunders crooning "Born to Lose," Captain Sensible reviving "Smash It Up," and a killer "Do Anything You Wanna Do" are worth the price of admission alone. --Jeff Bateman
