Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen
Uplifting and rebellious, this track a testament to Springsteen's songwriting chops. Appropriate both when playing softly at your dad's office Christmas party and oozing from your car windows on your very first teenage road trip to a place only two hours away. You play this song and your friends make fun of you for singing along.
Rap Phenomenon - Notorious B.I.G.
The song was blessed with a voodoo power to posses its listener as soon as the kick, well, kicks. One immediately stops everything and starts to nod and people over 30 lament the fact that they weren't a skateboarder in 1990's New York City. You play this song to make hipsters think you're gangster.
Grievances - Daniel Johnston
"Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light." You play this song to bathe in Johnston's heart-wrenching authenticity.
As We Go Up We Go Down - Guided by Voices
Guided by Voices' frontman Robert Pollard propelled them through the 90s using the four P's of rock n roll: pop, punk, progressive, and psychedelia. This song is an Absurdist cry to erase the limits on your creative mind imposed by the institutions around you. Pollard was drunk when he wrote this, but that doesn't mean anything.
リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー - Macintosh Plus
The only song to truly survive the death of vaporwave is the song you play while you have a conversation with someone you didn't already know, and they laugh at the Diana Ross sample.
Last Donut of the Night - J Dilla
The closer of this list plays after your friends leave and you drive home in a guarana-fueled daze. You listen and think about cops and high school.
