Meh, too bad the rest of the band sucks =/

Yeah Rancid kinda holds Matt Freeman back a lot of the time. His style was far better suited to Op Ivy

umm..the Cure's Fascination Street comes to mind..

I'll think of more

Nice!

L.A. Woman and When the Music's Over by The Doors are great too.

Whole Lotta Love as well by Led Zepellin...while we're back in the 60s.
