“I Will Dare”, The Replacements
Hormone-fueled adolescence summed up perfectly through Paul Westerberg’s ragged vocals.
“Gold Soundz”, Pavement
A “sunny afternoon” in the summer encapsulated in a song that even The Kinks would be proud of.
“Idiot Wind”, Bob Dylan
The best put-down ever put down to tape.
“Hey Jude”, The Beatles
A simple yet powerful song with an ending that still sends chills down my spine.
“Rock & Roll”, The Velvet Underground
Simply put, the essence of this course.
“Random Rules”, The Silver Jews
“On The Road” in
“In My Eyes”, Minor Threat
Anger and frustration (the essence of punk) sped up even faster.
“Radio, Radio”, Elvis Costello
A song written three decades ago that shows what’s wrong with popular music today.
“Born To Run”, Bruce Springsteen
One of the most American, romantic songs ever written.
“God Only Knows”, The Beach Boys
My argument for a higher power.
