Aburadako (あぶらだこ) is a Japanese noise punk band. Their name means "Greasy Octopus".^[1] A notable oddity is that none of Aburadako's albums have titles and are only distinguished by their packages. In September 2007, Rolling Stone Japan rated their 1985 studio album at No. 55 on its list of the "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time".^[2]
