Top 10 Best Dead Kennedys Songs

The Top Ten
1 Holiday in Cambodia

Love this song. Has everything a good punk rock song needs, love Jello's vocals, the intro is what mad this song the best song ever. If you don't feel the lyrics, you are not punk and should go listen to Justin Bieber.

The album version is better however...

Can't beat the "Pol Pot" chants...

Classic of all classics

2 California Uber Alles

Honestly I just like the story behind this song... it was a response to some neo nazis thinking DK was a neo nazi band... nope!

Just play it loud!

3 Kill the Poor

Good top 3, only order is screwed up, "Kill the Poor" is their best, the best satire I've ever heard and great music behind it.

4 Police Truck

Awesome song from an awesome game. Should be much higher on the list!

5 Nazi Punks F**k Off

The napalm death version is awesome two.

6 Chemical Warfare

I think chemical warfare deserves to be here. Amazing intro, fast paced, loud music, with a big touch of dark humor, that's Jello all right. Every song from "Fresh fruit from rotting vegetables" deserves to be here. (Except Ill in the head, because lets face it, the lyrics are good but the music is boring) I honestly don't know why Holiday in Cambodia is labelled as being from the album "Give me convenience or give me death" because it appeared in "Fresh Fruit for rotting vegetables, first. And ha! To you for not being able to put the "Penis landscape" as the album art for frankenchrist.

As soon as I saw the live version of this song, Dead Kennedys was one of my favorite bands.

7 Too Drunk to F***

How has nobody voted on this yet? The first song I ever heard heard by DK, it started a trail that would eventually lead to DK being ranked high among my favorite bands. The song is fast, the lyrics are reatable and the name makes stupid music from today look like lullabies. 10/10!

Are you serious? Just listen to that guitar!

8 Soup is Good Food
9 Moon Over Marin

Should be up there near the top, not the typical DK's sounding song but very powerful.

10 I Kill Children
The Contenders
11 Riot
12 I Fought the Law

This isn't even a Dead Kennedys song. It's a Clash cover.

13 Halloween
14 We've Got a Bigger Problem Now
15 Moral Majority
16 Bleed for Me

Excellent rhythm, great lyrics. Build up in beginning, possibly best song from plastic surgury disasters

17 Buzzbomb

How come this is not even in the list? This is one of the many amazing songs they could come up with even after Fresh Fruit for Rotting vegetables set up such a big benchmark.

The quintessential DKs song: loud fast hardcore punk mocking the materialist in all of us.

18 Pull My Strings
19 When Ya Get Drafted

One of the best on Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables.

Short, biting, Dead Kennedys at their finest.
