21. Minor Threat - "Salad Days"
Almost everyone who has added to this list has a favorite Minor Threat song. So I'm gonna get mine up here first. Because I can. The slow start, the build up, the anticipation because you know the song is gonna kick any second and then MacKaye starts in half singing, half talking in that frenzied way — and that's one of the things I aways dug most about Minor Threat, the way his vocals make it seem like you're sitting in a bar with him and he's just going off about something (and this is also true of why I love Fugazi and, on a different but similar tangent, 7 Seconds). And listening to "Salad Days", you know it's the last thing they did, so you sing along with the lyrics in a wistful kind of way but you think, what a hell of a way to go out. - M download [I like this song so much, it's replaced the old place]

22. Sham 69 - "Sunday Morning Nightmare" -
The only reason I really like this song a lot is because when you hear calls of unity and all that other crap for an hour then a song about getting into fight, throwing up on your clothes, and yelling at your sister is fun. Don't get me wrong. I love all sham, but this one has to be my favorite. It's so "fuck you, get out of my way" it's kinda cute. I know saying that this is my favorite is going to bring a lot of backlash, but that kids are united stuff was way before me and was in another country so it didn't really effect me. Or maybe I just didn't care then. I dunno. I was more in tune with beating up your sister's boyfriend for wearing your clothes. Plus they talked funny! -T download
