American Idiot by Green Day has become my new, traditional Independence Day music for the last 8 or so years.

Would love to replace that with something more patriotic, but we've got a lot of turning around to do before "Proud to be an American" is back in my playlist rotation.

Edit: And while I'm on my soapbox here, I'd like to extend a big 'fuck you' to any republicans celebrating today. You don't get to celebrate the founding of the nation you're trying so hard to destroy.

Should we....make a playlist? I'll add two more.

  1. Green Day - American Idiot
  2. CCR - Fortunate Son
  3. Woodie Guthrie - This Land is Your Land (via @[email protected] -- updated to different version with the "lost" verse)
  4. System of a Down - Prison Song (BYOB is a close second)
  5. Descendants - 'Merican (Added from @[email protected]'s suggestion.)
  6. John Mellencamp - Little Pink Houses (via @[email protected])
  7. Stone Sour - Come What(ever)
  8. Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains (last two via @[email protected])
  9. Flobots - Handlebars (via @[email protected])
  10. NOFX - Idiots are Taking Over (via @[email protected])
  11. Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy (via @[email protected])
  12. Disturbed - Land of Confusion | Genesis - Land of Confusion (via @[email protected])

Adding the "lost verse" for 'This Land is Your Land":

“One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple,
by the relief office I saw my people.
As they stood hungry,
I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.”

What about The Sound of Silence . I'm partial to Disturbed's version, but the original by Simon and Garfunkel fits depending on the mood.
