Which I do, in my mind.
These may not look like punk songs, but inside each and every one of them is a punk song trying desperately to get out. (And frustration? Anger? Desperation? These things lead to the punk side, my son. It’s like they’ll get there ON THEIR OWN! … Yeah.)
1 – REM, “Talk About The Passion”
2 – Brandi Carlile, “My Song”
3 – Coyote Shivers, “Sugarhigh”
4 – Dave Matthews Band, “Pay For What You Get”
5 – Josh Rouse, “Late Night Conversation”
6 – Patty Griffin, “You Never Get What You Want”
7 – Willie Nelson, “Whiskey River”
8 – Constantines, “Shower Of Stones”
9 – Weezer, “Say It Ain’t So”
10 – “I Fought The Law” — because it’s, like, a TRADITION.*
