Our Top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! songs list looks back at the songs of one of the most interesting bands to come along in the 21st century. Formed in Paris in 2014, the band Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! really don’t sound like a band from Paris. This group sounds like they are from L. A. or New York. And that depends on not which song your listening to by them, but what part of the song your listening too. This is a band that blends so many styles together you never know what to expect in any one of their songs. If your not familiar with this great band, we think you find them a lot of fun.

# 10 – In Friends We Trust

We open up our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list with the smoking punk infused 90s sounding song “In Friends We Trust.” This great tune stands as the band’s first single release of their career.  We love those guitar strums in the middle section of the song. Just awesome stuff. And of course they throw in the occasional death metal roar which kind of feels odd at points because this music is just way to sweet for death metal, but of course that is what makes this band so original. The song was released on the album entitled Something for Nothing which came out about three months after the single was released in September of 2010. Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! had arrived.

# 9 – All Star

Punking sweetly along with our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list we take a listen to the band’s very cool cover of Smash Mouth’s “All Star.” The band put their own spin on the song’s verses but pretty much sticks close to the original on the chorus.They really had no choice since the chorus on the song is so distinct. The song was released on the album entitled Punk Goes 90’s 2. The album was released in 2014. The video the band made for the song is a whole lot of fun to watch. Don’t miss it.

# 8 – We R Who We R

In the number eight spot on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list we present the song entitled “We R Who We R.” Now this is what we call a real remake. The band takes the Kesha classic and gives it a brand new coat of paint and an entire new house built underneath it too. Those death metal vocals always crack me up and they sound a bit amusing on this one. Yet, the band makes it work well. The cover of the Kesha classic by Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! was released on the album Punk Goes Pop 4. The tribute album was released in 2011. Oh yeah, DJ turn it up!

# 7 – Blame It On This Song

In the number seven position on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! songs list is the song entitled “Blame It On This Song.” This one grabs you right from the crunchy guitar opening. There is a little bit of Led Zeppelin in this opening riff, but that all goes out the window as those youthful vocals take over and it’s back into the land of Blink 182 meets Simple Plan sound. Very cool chord changes on the bridge sort of come out of nowhere. The song was released as a stand alone single on youTube. Boy have things changed since the days of the 70s.

# 6 – Drift Away

Landing in the number six spot on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list we present the song “Drift Away.” No, this has nothing to do with the famous Dobie Gray song. “Drift Away,” is a brand new original song by Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! It’s a really new song as it was just released a couple of months ago as of this writing in 2021. The song “Drift Away,” was released on the album Gone Are The Good Days. It stands as the fourth studio album by Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! The song was placed as the second track on the album. There is definitely a new found maturity in the band’s sound on this track. Yet, they still retain that youthful modern punk sound that all those 2000s bands seemed to have inspired in this group.

# 5 – Captain Blood

At the midway point on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list is the raging song entitled “Captain Blood.” This one rocks very hard and yet it still has those sweet melodic vocals sailing over the death metal double bass drum playing and the sinister guitar riff. It’s just such a wonderful combination that is so original in many ways. The song “Captain Blood,” was issued on the album entitled Something for Nothing. The album was released in 2010. It was the first and only single released from the album.

# 4 – Insanity

At the number four spot on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list we present  a rare but immensely brilliant song entitled “Insanity.” The song is a bit rare because it was not included on the band’s original release of the album Pardon My French. It was later added to the Pardon My French Deluxe Version as a bonus track. Come on, all fans love deluxe versions. It’s on the deluxe version where we find the gems and that is exactly what this jubilant track is.

# 3 – Haters Gonna Hate

Cruising along on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list we present the song entitled “Haters Gonna Hate.” The song was released on the album entitled Pardon My French. The album was released in 2013. It was never released as a single but a great video was made for the song. It was sort of a “Revenge of the Nerds,” type video. It looks like the group had a lot of fun filming this one.

# 2 – Bitter

We love the opening shot of the video where a hand places a homemade VHS  tape in a VCR right next to a Buzz Lightyear. Just perfect. And that’s pretty much what we think about this song. “Bitter,” is one of the best singles the band has ever released. Boy does this baby have kick. The song “Bitter,” was released on the group’s most recent album entitled Gone Are The Good Days. It was the first of three singles released from the album so far.

# 1 – The Other Line

As we arrive at the number one spot on our top 10 Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Songs list we present the kicking tune “The Other Line.” This one starts out with that Kids In America meets Green Day meets Blink 182 guitar line that’s usually a slam dunk for a great radio hit. You gotta just love it. The song “The Other Line” was released on the album entitled Get Lost, Find Yourself. The album was released in 2015. It was the second single released from the album. The song featured Bert Poncet on lead vocals, Éric Poncet on lead guitar, Paul “Wilson” Cordebard on rhythm guitar,  Mathias Rigal on bass and Bastien Lafaye drums. The song was produced by Kyle Black who did an amazing job on the sound of this fabulous record.

Liberty DeVitto: 10 Albums That Changed My Life
Rob De Luca of Spread Eagle, Sebastian Bach & UFO: 10 Albums That Changed My Life From humble East Coast origins to grandest stages worldwide, veteran bassist Rob De Luca has seen and done it all. De Luca first hit the local Boston rock and metal scene in the late 80s after meeting guitarist Paul DiBartolo, bonding over Van Halen before forming Bang. Regional success came quickly, but eventually, the members of Bang went their separate ways, with De Luca and drummer Tommi Gallo heading to NYC and hooking up with Ray West and, later, DiBartolo to form Spread Eagle. By 1990, Spread Eagle was on the fast track, with a contract through MCA Records and a self-titled debut album poised to crush skulls. But poor timing and MCA's sad indifference left Spead Eagle out in the cold despite being a hard-boiled answer to Guns N' Roses's West Coast sleaze. Spread Eagle's first chapter came to an end in '95. As for Rob De Luca, his nimble fingers and gift for melody and songwriting kept him moving forward. Soon, he found a gig with former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach and the legendary outfit UFO. And in 2010, after coupling up with Ray West and his cousin Rik De Luca, Spread Eagle retook flight. During a break from Spread Eagle's increasingly busy touring schedule, Rob De Luca dialed in with ClassicRockHistory.com to run through the ten albums that changed his life. But only after adding, "I made a playlist of these songs, including some I've written or co-written. Do you hear any of these albums' influence on me?" Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3LWJuhDrE8JmzhsmTeIDUq 10) Gentlemen by Afghan Whigs (1993) Here's an entry that was so important to me. This may be the darkest break-up album of all time. Greg Dulli has been in many projects, but I feel Gentlemen is his zenith. Somewhat undefinable at times but always profound and honest. Listen to "Gentlemen," "Fountain and Fairfax," and "What Jail Is Like." 9) In on the Kill Taker by Fugazi (1993) By this time, I had been sucked in and spit out by the major-label record industry. Glam came and went; grunge was history, too. I was searching for new sounds. When I heard Fugazi's twin guitar approach, I knew this was what was missing. Fugazi may be considered a less polished sound than the albums above; however, once you "get it," it hits you like a ton of bricks, and there's no going back. From the moment I heard Fugazi, I went to every NYC show after. It's easily some of the best concerts of my life, and possibly my favorite bassist in Joe Lally. And their DIY ethics refused to charge us more than $5 a show! In on the Kill Taker is a powerful album demonstrated in songs such as "Smallpox Champion," "Great Cop," and "Public Witness Program." 8) Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses (1987) I discovered many of these albums (sometimes long) after they were released. However, I was at the right place at the right time for this one. Steve Ostromogilsky had a Berklee College of Music lunch card and used to sneak out sandwiches for me. One day, he invited me to hang out at his place and listen to music. As we got off the train, he put Sony Walkman headphones on my ears and said, "Hey, check out this brand-new group." A song like "It's So Easy" was so different from the popular Sunset Strip sound at that time. Me and about 499 other informed rockers were lucky enough to see them on their first East Coast tour at the sold-out Paradise on Commonwealth Avenue, Boston (the same street Aerosmith started on). I saw Gn'R every tour after until I took a break when Buckethead joined. Gn'R is the band I've been lucky enough to see the most times live, almost 100! Everyone on this album is just stellar. Axl [Rose] had the tones, power, melodic sensibilities, and foresight to do what no other singer did then. Slash's playing was beyond memorable. Duff [McKagan] is one of the most underrated bassists in rock history, and learning his Appetite basslines is a masterclass. Steven [Adler] had the natural swing, and Izzy [Stradlin] was the secret weapon songwriter. Everything that's been heralded about this gem is deserved and true. Check out "It's So Easy," "Out Ta Get Me," and "Mr. Brownstone.' 7) Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (1975) Another contender for my favorite album and band of all time. Using The Beatles machine (same recording studio, engineer, record label), Pink Floyd made what I feel is their strongest, most cohesive album (my second favorite of theirs would be Animals). This list mainly consists of bands with an instantly recognizable sound. Floyd is certainly no exception to that! This album included a solid handful of undeniable rock radio classics, bookended by two halves of the mind-blowing song "Shine on You Crazy Diamond.' That song was written about former band member and founder Syd Barrett. It would be hard to live in a world without this album. Check out "Welcome to The Machine," "Shine on You Crazy Diamond (parts 6-9),' or even better yet, listen to the whole thing in one sitting! 6) Decade by Neil Young (1977) About this time, I started playing guitar. As a beginner, it was comfortable jamming to this album because the chord changes were simple—a great "first ten years" retrospective of Neil's stunning, unique songwriting. Neil is a treasure who always writes from the heart and stands up for what's right. Check out "Southern Man," "A Man Needs a Maid," "Down by The River," and "After the Goldrush." 5) Highway to Hell by AC/DC (1979) When I heard this album, I was firmly "me." My life would be 100% focused on hard rock music forever. AC/DC are like air; they're ubiquitous. Everyone knows them and their incredible songs. However, as a young teen in Wilmington, Delaware, I only had WMMR 93.3 FM Philadelphia and a few friends to inform me about the world of Rock outside my bedroom. AC/DC had not gone mainstream, and their albums were available primarily in the USA as imports. To put things more in perspective, I only knew two people in the world who had heard of AC/DC. A friend had an import that we played in Steve Buckley's basement, which sounded ripping. When Highway to Hell was released, WMMR started spinning the title track, and I immediately bought the album, listening to it every single day after school. Then WMMR announced AC/DC was coming to the Spectrum in Philly, supporting Ted Nugent! I liked Ted but loved AC/DC, so my good friend Mick Cummins and I bought tickets, and he drove us up to the Spectrum (where we saw most of our concerts). Bon Scott was in fine form, and the band went over great. Although the crowd knew Ted better, Angus [Young] wouldn't let anyone upstage him. I'll never forget it! Unfortunately, Bon would be gone in 6 months. Check out "Walk All Over You," "Touch Too Much," "Shot Down in Flames," and "If You Want Blood (You Got It)." 4) Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith (1975) By the time I heard this, I was now in my teens. I had a childhood friend up the street, Jim Linberg (we're still good buddies). His older sister had a great album collection, including Toys in The Attic. Once I heard that groove, my taste changed. I lost interest in rock music that didn't have some sort of "swing" feel to it. I think Rocks is a slightly better Aerosmith album (and possibly my favorite album of all time), but both are perfect or very close. Check out "Uncle Salty," "Adam's Apple," "No More No More," "Round and Round," and "You See Me Crying." 3) Alive! by Kiss (1975) When I was still a little kid, I asked for Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke album for Christmas. The entire family came over for an enormous feast, and I dropped the needle. When my mother heard the content, she turned off the album and said I had to exchange it. My mom was cool, but I was young and knew much more about life than she suspected. Anyway, the next day, she drove me back to the store. In the music section, promoted on an "endcap" was a Kiss Alive! display. I had never heard of Kiss, but that cover picture told me I had to have it! My first foray into hard rock. Check out “Strutter.” I went through my Kiss phase very quickly, I believe in a matter of months because I discovered the previous entry, Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic. 2) Honky Chateau by Elton John (1972) When I was a wee lad, my parents bought a used Volkswagen camper van from my uncle Ozzie. My favorite Elton John album is Yellow Brick Road, but Honky Chateau is great and easily one of his best. It sent me down a lifelong rabbit hole of loving everything about the 1970s partnership between Elton and lyricist Bernie Taupin. The simple beauty of voice, the master songwriting, the perfect backing band, the clear, unobtrusive recordings, and always Bernie's incredible lyrics. The day this album was released, Elton became an unstoppable force that conquered the music industry. Check out "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" and "Rocket Man." 1) Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles (1967) Another tape that was included in the VW Camper. The van had a bunch of music tapes, and one was Sgt Pepper. I was too young to understand the sophistication of the music, but that was one of the many skills of The Beatles. They attracted listeners at every level, even little kids. I still feel that immediate connection to Sgt Pepper; now, I hear so much more. It's an album that changed the world and the world of music. Check out "Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds," "A Day In The Life," and "Fixing a Hole."
