Personal Anthems

Firebert

We all have favorite songs, but what are your personal anthems? Songs that draw you in and feel personal to you. Songs that make you crank up the volume to decibel levels not yet recorded by man kind and fuel that creative spark. Name some.

Arcade Fire - Wake Up
The National - Mistaken For Strangers
Rage - People of the Sun

sicsided

Powerman 5000 - "Free"
Nine Inch Nails - "Gave Up", "All the Love in the World"
Queen - "Don't Stop Me Now"
KMFDM - "WWIII" "Free Your Hate"

To name just a tiny few....

Richard Kain

Jimmy Barnes - "No Second Prize"
Queen - "Princes of the Universe"
Less Than Jake - "The Science of Selling Yourself Short"

Ninjas

I think.... the feeling's mutual. I need to rethink my life!

Got me on a nostalgia kick but almost every site that had Garage Rats stuff has disappeared... except for the guestbook!
everyone is free to make posts accusing me of being gay, a nazi or some sort of gay nazi.

Way back in the day i was snoopin' around in my dad's record collection and came upon "Thick as a Brick" by jethro tull. Totally blew me away and was the first song i really fell in love with.

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toHlMD50eYY[/ame]

Say what you want about Tull, but a few of their songs were fucking amazing. They used to open for zeppelin, can only imagine what that concert was like.
