Rock Against Reagan - Redux

Well... the previous post missed a great many bands, for sure. A little research turned up a radio show by none other than Al Quint. Who is Al Quint, you may ask? Why, he is only the publisher of one of the great all time punk fanzines - "Suburban Voice". Al has published this this fanzine for over 20 years now, and is responsible for turning me on to sooo many fantastic bands. Al has a radio show called "Sonic Overload" on a suburban Boston station and worked up a swell tribute to the Reagan years, which are all available as MP3's on his site ( as tracks from the show )
