Odradek

Girls & Boys-Good Charlotte

Rednecks-Randy Newman

American Idiot-Green Day

Revolution 1-The Beatles

Sredni Vashtar

The better part of the Rolling Stones discography.

Oingo Boingo, "Capitalism" and "Little Girls".

Throbbing Gristle.

Oh god yesssssss

Some people might like Rednecks for being about ***liberal hypocricy*** though

Sredni Vashtar

Indeed. Also:

Devo's entire early career, but particularly "Mongoloid" and all those weird sex-related songs.

I wonder how they would react to Dead Kennedys, though. The subject matter has a strong leftward bent, but it's delivered in a deliberately offensive manner targeted at insulated bourgeois sorts, soooooooo.

Yarrun XIX

California Uber Alles would raise some eyebrows

Aliroz

Bongo Bongo Bongo (I don't want to leave the Congo) would never ever fly today.

Yeah, for the best.

Yarrun XIX

I'm surprised it made it into Fallout 3

Section42L

the entirety of License to Ill by the Beastie Boys

Sredni Vashtar

Talking Heads, "Don't Worry About the Government".

So long as we're including XTC, can we put in some of Depeche Mode's/Joy Division's stuff too?

Section42L

Joy Division's very name would qualify under this, honestly.

Section42L

Also, I'll throw in "Oliver's Army" by Elvis Costello.

Mandelbrot

Eminem's entire discography, basically

is it bad that I only know Joy Division through the fact that they were one of many musical namesakes in the Eureka Seven series?

I think he's right that there's something wrong with the song, but he's not quite expressing it right.

Anyway, my choice is: Ten Years After - "I'd Love to Change the World"

Yes.

Go listen to Unknown Pleasures and Closer. I'll be waiting.

Alduin

Also why would people make thinkpieces about American Idiot? It's pretty obvious what the song and album are about.

Odradek

It uses the word "fag"

Calica

"wake me up when September ends" is problematic because for some people September never ends
