Aah, such a rockin' list has never before been compiled and whittled down as this one

[Cracked Pleasures]

The Who- Baba O'Riley!!!!

I get what you mean... That Irish-esque opening tune just gets stuck to your head and keeps on reverberating for days! Great song though. Often thought to be about teenage angst, but it ain't the case: Pete Townshend stated several times it's about a Vietnam citizen escaping the war in North Vietnam (hence the "I don't need to fight to prove I'm right" and "take my hand, down south we strand" - down south to the capitalist South Vietnam that is)

At work this summer we would play this song every other night or so (hanging out on the top floor at night) and every one of my co-workers and I would yell all the words (in a crowded little room, mind you) and dance and jump up and down- so hard in fact that we broke the light in the room below us once. It was stupid fun, but it was really truly fun.

[rubygirl]

Angry Johnny by Poe is one of my ultimate favourites - it's a very haunting song, which I always appreciate

and there is something really seductive in the way she sings, something lusty - which makes such an interesting contrast to the lyrics - about wishing to murder someone...
