Communist Daughter- Neutral Milk Hotel

 

[Wide Awake n AZ]

The obvious one for me is "Short Songs" by the Dead Kennedys...

My top?

Minor Threat "Salad Days" is their best, but over 2 minutes amazingly. So "In My Eyes"
Black Flag "Jealous Again"
Descendents "Myage"
7 Seconds "In Your Face"
Minutemen "Anxious Mofo"
MDC "I Remember"

Trying to pull away from hardcore...sorta, as that list could go on

Nirvana "Molly's Lips"
Smiths "Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"
oft mentioned Rolling Stones "Not Fade Away"
Big Star - "I'm In Love With A Girl"
