“Eve Of Destruction” burst off the airwaves in 1965 with a sound that was very different to my then 7 year old ears. That chorus “over and over and over again” just stuck in my head. The echoing intro with the bang of drums sounding like gunfire, the ringing guitar and Barry McGu...
Garbage went a little subversive with their 1996 female empowerment anthem “Stupid Girl,” using it as a bit of a cautionary tale. The song uses a sample of The Clash’s “Train in Vain” drum beat to lay down its marching sound. Though it was the fourth song released from the self-...

Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" starts out innocently enough, as a lonesome-sounding harmonica part opens the song and album of the same name. He then begins describing a girl twirling a baton on her front lawn, from the perspective of 19-year-old Charles Starkweather – a real-life serial...
Sandwiched right between the confidently cheeky “The Toxic Waltz” and the harmonica-honking of “Cajun Hell,” was “Low Rider,” offering a nice breather before the meatier thrash pounders nearly finished off the album. Another cover — AC/DC’s “Overdose” — capped it all off. Ghost...
