Okay, I'm going to settle the debate once and for all. No Control is better than Suffer, and it's the definitive best Bad Religion album. As proof, here is a cover off of...um...Against The Grain. Fine, all three are essential punk albums, and they're all unique snowflakes of heavy philosophical themes, sharp social commentary, and aggressive yet melodic punk rock anthems. In a time where an ever-growing ignorance and anti-intellectualism reigns supreme, Bad Religion is as cathartic a band as it gets.

Also, I want to give a shout-out to a superior cover of this song by Emily Davis, who I've been a fan of for years. Her killer Bad Religion covers paved the way for lesser punk covers like mine:    • Bad Religion - Walk Away (Acoustic Co...  

Lyrics:
Shut off the TV and peel off those Sunday gloves
And I'll stain the clean that you've been counting
Old Mr. Fletcher passed by here today
After 40 years of toil, he just stood up and walked away

Fantastic, the panic that showed in his eyes
He shrugged when I asked him about it
He said, "Young man, pay heed, you listen well to what I say
Now there comes a time for a man to walk away"

Walk away, I'll be a parade
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
On my way, I'll sure take some time
And burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind

He passed by again and he was shivering from the cold
I'm not sure but I think that he was trying
He told me about the weather and something old to pay
"But tomorrow," he said, "I'm gonna surely walk away."

Walk away, I'll be a parade
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
On my way, I'll take my sweet time
And burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind
