There aren’t exactly a shortage of anti-war songs from the 60s, but the legitimate rage in Barry McGuire’s voice makes this song the most affecting one that I’ve heard.

#songoftheday: Banks – Are You That Somebody? (Aalyiah Cover)
Hands down, the best acoustic guitar version of a 90s R&B song that I’ve ever heard.
#songoftheday: Everlast – What It’s Like
As dark as this song is lyrically, it was always one of my favourites in elementary school.
#songoftheday: Beastie Boys – Sabrosa
If you like your album’s diverse, make sure to check out Ill Communication. Seriously, this song’s only two tracks after “Sabotage”.
#songoftheday: The Black Keys – Never Gonna Give You Up
This song’s a perfect example of how great the Black Keys are at making something new and original, by taking influence from past music, instead of plagiarizing it.
#songoftheday: Radiohead – I Can’t
Music snobs may disagree, but I’ll always be an unabashed fan of early Radiohead.
#songoftheday: Led Zeppelin – Ramble On
The perfect fusion of acoustic, electric and Tolkien. Page and Plant are incredible as always, but this song has some of my favourite rhythm work by John Paul Jones and John Bonham.
#songoftheday: Incubus – Drive
For some reason, rotoscoped animation’s always come across to me as looking more fluid and smooth than real life movement. It really makes no sense, but there ya go.
Also, this song’s just great.
#songoftheday: Guns N’ Roses – If The World
For all the flack that Chinese Democracy got, I still say that it’s the most solid album from any of the GNR guys since Appetite for Destruction.
#songoftheday: Panic! At The Disco – Behind The Sea
This album’s just kept growing on me over the years. I can’t get over the fact that it was recorded by four guys that were just turning 20 at the time.
