JohnnyBlaze Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 You want a song about standing up to things? Check Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the Name Of". There's nothing more defiant than screaming "F__k you, I won't do what you tell me" over and over again. Granted, it's not going to win any songwriting awards, but if it can't get you pumped up, nothing can. One that I always dug was Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man". It's a really mellow song, but it has Tom Petty's principles in it. The narrator openly says that he's looking for a straight-up chick; one that'll love him and won't screw around on him. And he won't settle for anything less. You've gotta admire that (especially when Johnny Cash covered it). Of course, what I normally listen to is different from day to day. It depends on the mood. Am I feeling mellow, pumped up, in a drinking mood, or bummed out? What I listen to drastically changes based on the answer to that question. Lately, it's been 'summer' type songs: Ramones: California Sun (Rivieras cover)Iggy Pop: Lust for LifeTommy Tutone: 867-5309 (tell me you didn't just all sing that number in your heads!)Violent Femmes: Blister in the SunGuns N' Roses: Paradise City ...that kind of thing.
