    • Paul Brannigan
    • Ruby Soho (1995) At their best, Tim Armstrong’s lyrics conjure up wonderfully vivid portraits of life on the margins, with bruised hearts and wandering souls seeking out connections as the world swirls around them.
    • Time Bomb (1995) The biggest single of Rancid’s career, this ridiculously catchy ska-punk anthem, powered by a vamping Hammond organ, taps into both gangster movie imagery and ska iconography to tell a tale of a rebellious kid fighting his way up from the streets to become a respected, feared and ultimately marked for death underworld king-pin.
    • Radio (1994) Co-written by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Rancid bassist Matt Freeman (surely the finest four-stringer in punk since Mike Watt), Radio is perhaps Rancid’s signature composition, a pure love song to the power of music, which will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever had their life transformed by a spinning black vinyl disc.
    • Roots Radicals (1995) Drawing an explicit line from Jimmy Cliff and Desmond Dekker through to Stiff Little Fingers and beyond, this joyous hymn to roots reggae, punk rocker and “moon stompers” is an evocative sketch of a formerly lost teenager realising he’s found his spiritual home in music, and sharing that new-found sense of wonder and awe with his best friends.
    • “Radio” Let’s Go! (1994) is full of micro-sized blasts of melodic street punk that motor their way through your eardrums, but “Radio” manages to stand head and shoulders above the other raging, punk rock bruisers in the set.
    • “Ruby Soho” …And Out Come the Wolves (1995) If you attended high school at any point in the mid-to-late 1990s, you’ll recognize “Ruby Soho” as the anthem for the kids who weren’t invited (or, more accurately, didn’t care to go) to prom.
    • “Olympia, WA” …And Out Come the Wolves (1995) Side A of …And Out Comes the Wolves is about as good as punk got in the 1990s, and “Olympia, WA” represents its high-water mark.
    • “Salvation” Let’s Go! (1994) The fact that “Salvation” marked the start of Rancid’s critical and commercial ascent in popular music by itself makes the song a necessary addition to this list.
