2. I disagree. Lou Reed - "Perfect day"

3. I like their sentiment but the music is kinda shitty
As an alternative, I suggest "Clampdown" by the Clash

Also I recommend "Green Shirt" by Elvis Costello

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5f-GOz1Njg

These old punks were really onto something that most newer punks just can't match.
I know, hon, my geezerdom is showing.

Keep up the good work!

4. Agreed. It's really tinny.
If you're going to do an effective song that's under one minute, you have to pack a hell of a lot of energy into it.

I suggest the above band listen to some old hardcore and take notes.

5. Here's another good one, a little faster and angrier
"Suspect Device" by Stiff Little Fingers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bt6ixRSY4Y

Here's another great version with Jake Burns singing it with Naked Raygun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir6Bk97QAv4

Some songs never go stale.

7. I hope they've been invited to the inaugural ball
That would be a big hit in the right room.

8. Brilliant.
:rofl:

Although I have one friend who's a fairly hardcore Republican, and I have a big soft spot for her...mostly because it seems completely antithetical to her personality and I don't really get why she is one.
