Cool of you to offer, but I won't put you to that trouble. I'd be interested in hearing what tracks you have included on it though.GASOLINEDREAM said:

I'll start you off with old stuff. The "disc" is actually 2 CD's.
Things you MUST hear: Hammerhead, Overkill, Fuck YOU, Rotten to the core, Powersurge, Wrecking Crew, Hello from the Gutter(the one Beavis and Butthead ragged on), Brainfade, ALL of YEARS OF DECAY And all of HORRORSCOPE, World of Hurt, I hear Black, Dreaming in Columbian,Spiritual Void, MOST of WFO--of course includfing GASOLINEDREAM, then you start getting into late 90's and early 2000's. You can see some changes, but mostly they stay the course.

As the biggest Overkill fanboy on this planet, let me say...
Under The Influence, Years Of Decay, Horrorscope, From The Underground And Below, Necroshine, Bloodletting. Just start with the first one and go from there.

What album should I start with?
What are some of their best tracks that you can recommend?
If you can get the live double CD WRECKING YOUR NECK, you can get a good range of songs from 1985 to 1994. Seven songs on it were on WFO, and I think they're better live. I think Gas was at the show.

Whats kind of strange is that I listen to my music in groups. Like when I'm in the mood for Testament, I listen to Testament and Anthrax. And when I'm in the mood for Overkill, I listen to Exodus and when I'm in the mood for Metallica I can listen to Megadeth or Metallica. So that's why my Ipod playlists consist of..
1st playlist is 80's Testament and 80's Anthrax
2nd one is 80's Metallica and all Megadeth
3rd is all Overkill and all Exodus

I once rad that Overkill made a deal with the devil and that every 3rd album will suck. I Hear Black was supposed to be that example, but I liked it. I also like Years Decay, Feel the Fire, and the ep Fuck You. Ah, nice song.....

I'm not a fan of Overkill myself (although I admit to not having heard more than one song (Hello from the Gutter, I think?)) but I do know that they are playing here in Jersey in March with Prong and a few other bands.

I would say everything from "Taking Over" through "Horrorscope" are essential, with "Taking Over," "Under the Influence," and "Years of Decay" as the absolute best of that bunch.

Yup, they're playing the Starland and also BB Kings in the city. They always put on a good show.

Fabulous disaster to me though is way better than bonded by blood(ill get grilled for saying this!)
