It's time for you true fans to pay tribute and provide the essential Junkyard. What are your top tracks?

[LAglamrocker]

“I live like I want to- not like I should,yea”

That’s why my life is better than any rockstar or celebrity
Don’t want to be Axl or Jacob Fatu

I can walk to Fatburger whenever I want- eat Fatburger on the beach- wait few days then go see Babylon AD#JunkyardLife

[BulletProofPoet]

I like them all but …

Debut album - Hollywood, Simple Man, Texas, Blooze and Hands Off.

6,7 & 9’s - All the Time in the World, Slippin Away, Misery Loves Company, Back on the Streets Again

Highwater - Faded, WFLWF, Till The Wheels Fall Off, Don’t Give a Damn

Old Habits Die Hard - Hangin Round, Pushed You Too Far, Tried and True, Holdin On, Out Cold

[Wild Obsession]

Lead singles off the 1st 2 albums, "Hollywood" and "All The Time in World" are great, however the remainder of both albums are mostly filler.

I also think the last 2 tracks were really good, Lifer and last of a dying breed, although Blooze is my favorite song

Blooze, hands off, simple man, all the time in the world, clean the dirt

Back On The Streets and Throw It All Away both have kickass guitar riffs. But I have a soft spot for Clean The Dirt. My wife turned me on to them years ago and I couldn't believe they had the cajones to float Tex and the Horseheads out there to a metal audience. Got my interest piqued right off the bat.

I always wondered why the Junkyard guys were listed as co-writers on “clean the dirt.”
Do you know about it?

A lot like Havana Black, I never found Junkyard or their music to be “essential” to anything.

I figured there might be a couple true fans of this band on here to provide recommendations. I don't remember hearing much about them back in the day.

No but I figure the Junkyard guys were around the LA music community long before they released anything as Junkyard. Mike Martt and that band were from LA too. There was a punk flophouse / practice facility in Hollywood called Disgraceland and they were all involved with that. Probably wrote it together there. But I don't know all the details.

Check out Waste of Time from their 2002 ep
"It's much easier to live a lie
You think I'm kidding man give it a try"
Some good good stuff on their debut 1988 ep too.



It's a shame Joker and XXX weren't actually released when they were recorded. At least half of the songs got released on Old Habits Die Hard, but a lot of good songs left off. They should have just put both out instead of mashing them together.

"Hands Off". That's it.
