Help me with my "anthem" collection

[UnforgettableLemon]

Ok, I'm making volume 4 of my Collection of Great Songs series, to be titled "Flag wavers". I need some good anthems. I'm already using Where the Streets Have No Name, but from there it's an empty slate. No more U2 songs. I really need a Radiohead tune, and an Oasis tune to use, but I can't narrow either down. The Oasis one needs to be Liam-sung, because I've had Noel on the first three volumes already.

Need any other band/singer?

 

[brettig]

would live forever be considered anthemic?

 

[Hitman]

vagueness will be the death of this thread.

"Baba O'Riley" or "We Don't Get Fooled Again" by the Who

As for negative flag-wavers, how about Born in the USA and Fortunate Son??

Most definitely, but..... I used Noel's acoustic version on the Romantic Songs volume

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Any songs by any bands are open to suggestion, folks. Didn't mean to make it sound strictly those three bands, I just want those three to at least have some representation

 

[scatteroflight]

Bryan Adams--Summer of 69, Cuts like a Knife

Simple Minds--Ghostdancing, Sanctify Yourself

Police--Message in a Bottle (well, maybe if you stretch the definition of "anthem")

Hmmm, that's harder than I thought it would be.

[SkeeK]

Underworld - Born Slippy !!

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Oasis: Live forever
Radiohead: The National Anthem isn't anthemic enough, so take...um...maybe Black Star, dunno. Their songs seem to sad to be "Flag wavers"
Travis: Sing
Manic Street Preachers: So why so sad or No surface all feeling

Take the money and run

As far as Radiohead being too sad for anthems, in a way you're right, but..... Street Spirit might work, it's so powerfully depressing it's anthemic. And for Oasis, I've decided to go with Go Let it Out.

[Acrobat_Al]

Oasis' "Champagne supernova" it's a classic anthem, and is sung by Liam...
