Sure do. Long time fan here: since about 1999, when I first heard their song "san dimas high school football rules", the title song on their "Look Forward To Failure" album. That's when they were just getting started too. It is still my favourite song of their's:).

I started listening to them early last year, I think it was, on reccomendation. First song I heard was "I Remember You" (which wasn't on an album). My favourite song from them (and in general) is Teenage Riot, off the End Is Forever album.

I prefer their earlier stuff overall, personally. More rockish and punkish or something.

I like their older songs a bit better too, their new album is still good though:). Their old music is more punk rock but they seem to be moving toward rock music now:). There are still plenty of great punk bands to listen to though, so I'm not worried:).

Aye. An abundance of punk bands is all we really need, although I don't mind the apparent move the Ataris are making towards rock.

nobody likes the new metallica..... shame that the "Great bass monster" Cliff Burton(RIP) had to pass away... i bet things would be different and better if he was still here

I have to disagree. I think "Look Forward To Failure" is their best album:).

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you again here. I like that song quite a bit:).

Not exactly the music I'm into:p. Well, occasionally I will have a listen to Coldplay, and Jack Johnson or Ben Lee aren't bad on a long drive:).

The Ataris are great, So long astoria is so so, i think it no where near matches the lyrical or musical perfection of end is forever.
But the don henley cover is awesome though.
i like all of mxpx's albums, great band.
