Song 23: Holiday In Cambodia, Dead Kennedys

Yuppie-baiters Dead Kennedys brought British punk to sunny California and attacked Western complacency to world events in Holiday in Cambodia.

Song 24: God Save The Queen, Sex Pistols

This isn't so much singing as it is snarling. The Sex Pistols had anger and attitude and proved punk rock could be popular and pervasive. 

God Save The Queen has appeal for anyone, in Britain or out, who grows tired of a rigid class system of good people and bad people, blue collar and white collar, the right side of the tracks and the wrong.

Song 59: Prayer For The Refugee, Rise Against

Mosh pits were so much fun in college. 

The verses of this Rise Against song are a bit scattered but that's alright by me. There could be more than one narrator in Prayer For The Refugee but it works as well if there's just one: a weary father talking to his tired son, who's also a slave wage worker thinking out loud about the people who have so much while he has so little, who then wakes his son and tells him they won't suffer in silence any more. And each verse is interrupted by a chorus that's an angry shove against people who might give a helping hand once in a while but just let the narrator down again.

Song 62: Swimsuit Issue, Sonic Youth

I'm just here for dictation 

i don't wanna be a sensation 

bein' on Sixty Minutes 

wasn't worth your fifteen minutes

For two thirds of Sonic Youth's Swimsuit Issue, bassist Kim Gordon launches a verbal attack against sexual assault. Then she hits a wall, and in a voice that's somehow bitter, weary and smirking at the same time, lists the names of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models.

Song 74: Combat Rock, Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney's album One Beat is an anthem against apathy, and Combat Rock is a rebuke of the one beat war drum of America in the Bush years.

Show you love your country go out and spend some cash
Red white blue hot pants doing it for Uncle Sam

Song 81: Methodist Coloring Book, The Dead Milkmen

The sweetest punk song I know that fights against the the idea that you have to follow a set of rules that don't make sense. They might have been athiests, but The Dead Milkman's Methodist Coloring Book gives a lesson appreciated by plenty of lapsed Catholics.
