Blitzkrieg Bop
New Rose
Anarchy/God Save
In the City
White Riot
Clampdown
Chinese Rocks
CA Uber Alles
Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes
That's When I Reach for My Revolver
What Do I Get?
Roadrunner
And on and on and on (basically a slice of a shaving off an iceberg of great music)....if those aren't 'songs', I don't know what the hell they are. Or I don't know what a 'song' is.
There was more than attitude in these 'songs'.
They contained attitude, musicianship, integrity, innovation and brilliance.
Just like those of EP, Zim and the Liverpudlians
