Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia 7'' (1980)

Nipping back briefly to the Dead Kennedys,this is in my opinion their greatest single. But is the B side better than the A side? Its just as good in my opinion but if I had to choose I would say yes it is. What do you think? Go on be brave and answer one of the hardest unsanswered questions in Punk Rock history. Holidays In Cambodia or Police Truck? No sitting on the fence allowed!


Tracks


1) Holiday In Cambodia
2) Police Truck

Same here, with Jellos manic chorus of Pol Pot, how could it not be the best.

Longy said...

Looks like I'm on my own on this one then lol.

Holiday in Cambodia is the best cut on this single because of the originality of the music. so that's Holiday in Cambodia 3,Police Truck 0.

Didn't see the pointless football match, but let's make it four for Arsenal (?) by saying tough choice, but "Holidays" just has the edge.

Longy said...

I haven't heard anything more Topper yet Topper.

Chell......Four for Chelsea actually :-)

Holiday in Cambodia, but by a small margin. Both songs are incredible and very difficult to chose.

Would love to hear some more of Pursey's new stuff. Hope and album is on the way

Holiday by a little bit, Police truck is really good too.
Aren't the drummer and lead guitarist from Towers of London in Pursey's new band, or am I under the wrong impression.

Longy said...

Yep that is correct dz.

Excellent single but I always thought the A side was better. Also I always thought the single version was much better than the album version.

Longy said...

I agree on the single version being better....still love the B side though. Cheers Anon.
