| | My Top 10 Operation Ivy Songs | | 1 | Operation Ivy
Bad Town
I'm generally not even a big fan of horns, but they work REALLY well in this song, plus i prefer tim armstrong's singing jesse michaels' any day of the week. | | 2 | Freeze Up
This song pretty much sums up the band, containing elements of reggae, ska, a short guitar solo, and punkish, fast vocals. | | 3 | Take Warning
Not only the longest op ivy song (at a staggering 2:44), but one of their best. | | 4 | Healthy Body
Catchy as fuck. | | 5 | Jaded
SUCH a punky verse and menacing riff at the beginning. Like most of their songs, this one is short and sweet. | | 6 | Sound System
Next to "Bad Town," this is probably the most radio-friendly song in their collection (even though they never released any singles). | | 7 | Officer
Non-radio-friendly within the first 5 seconds of the song. | | 8 | Caution
Absolutely beastly bass solo despite its shortness, plus the rest of the song is a damn good listen. | | 9 | Big City
Really catchy riff and just a good song overall. | | 10 | Bankshot
Very short instrumental, but it's impossible not to get into this song - it's such a fucking catchy one. | |

06.28.10 | nice to see a fan, your user name made me smile. Since Operation Ivy isn't indie or metal you won't get many comments. Great band, though, I still prefer sublime. | TRMshadow
06.28.10 | Just Bought an Operation Ivy Album, Waiting for it to arrive in the mail. | sublimefan1991
06.28.10 | yea man, op ivy's the shit but i too prefer sublime (only real sublime though, not this sublime w/ rome bullshit). they're pretty much the only 2 ska/punk/reggae bands i've REALLY been able to get into, good to see another fan though. | Satellite
06.28.10 | OMG BUT JESSE MICHAELS DID VOX BUT DIDN'T PLAY AN INSTRUMENT AND THUS ISN'T A MUSICIAN | TRMshadow
06.28.10 | Check out Bomb the Music Industry! if you want another amazing ska/punk band. Jeff Rosenstock is the new ska messiah. | sublimefan1991
06.28.10 | i'll check them out but not gonna lie i'm prob gonna hate them if they have a shitload of horns. | Satellite
06.28.10 | You'll hate them because you have shit taste and have hilarious and arbitrary views toward music in general. That said, if anyone's gonna set you straight, it'll be Mr. Rosenstock. | PanasonicYouth
06.28.10 | op ivy rules | couldwinarabbit
06.28.10 | listen to some jazz music, then you will like horns.
Radiohead- Idiotique/ Life in a glass house (songs/ best place to start)
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble- Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (album)
Miles Davis- Kind of Blue (cliche but Davis and Coltrane) | sublimefan1991
06.28.10 | aight i'll try to check some of that shit out. | PanasonicYouth
06.28.10 | tbh tho lately BTMI! has been straying away from ska and venturing more into the indieish punk kinda stuff
if you want ska BTMI!, get their earlier stuff
fuck it get ALL their stuff cuz it's all good | Skimaskcheck
06.28.10 | Jaded and Room Without a View are my favourites
Energy actually has a seriously high average, fairplay! | Yotimi
06.28.10 | Bad Town is great. "Here we go again" will always be my favorite. | sublimefan1991
06.28.10 | @yotimi, yea man if this list was a top 11 op ivy songs one, that'd make the cut fo sho. such a SICKKKK bassline. | buckfutter2
06.28.10 | 3 is their best. Even though it's short, it's still a nice addition to the genre |
