Here is a great radio set from the amazing Channel 3. This set is from the same radio station that hosted the Vandals set that I posted a while back.
Channel 3 was from south Los Angeles and they formed in 1980. Channel 3 took that classic LA punk sound and added a lot of melody and memorable hooks and came up with some fantastic songs. They had some super fast songs, typical of the time period, but personally, I think they were best when the songs added the melodic edge. That stuff is untouchable. This radio set covers all the hits from that time period with lots of great crowd interaction.
Besides this set, there are numerous 7"'s and LPs, all of which are good. Be sure to get 'I've Got A Gun' and 'After The Lights Go Out'. They are both classic records and will not disappoint.
Here is a picture of the band with Glenn Danzig, from 1983...
