Still not sure whether “Dear You” or “24 Hour Revenge Therapy” is my favourite, but damn, how I still love Jawbreaker.
The song that really got me hooked on Jawbreaker was “Imaginary Way” off “Unfun”. Back in the early 90’s me and some friends played it at my high school talent show. As soon as “Bivouac” came out I was hooked “Chesterfield King”. That song turned latched me onto them for the long run.
Your’re right … it is hard to pick just one song.
