https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLs09J_x6-c Artist: The Kinks Song: Sunny Afternoon (1966) Kinks songwriter Ray Davies penned this track as a comment on the high levels of progressive tax taken by the British government (which I guess means the more things change the more they stay the same, huh?). Anyone else feel the need for a re-release or quick cover version?
15. "People Try And Put Us Down/Just Because We Get Around"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN5zw04WxCc Artist: The Who Song: My Generation (1965) Reportedly inspired by the Queen Mother taking umbridge at Pete Townsend's parked hearse in Belgravia (she didn't like the look of it so had it moved) this lyric is from one of the greatest rock songs of all time, the opening lyric captures the spirit of youth and rebelliousness perfectly and helped make this track the 11th greatest song ever according to Rolling Stone magazine.
14. "Save Your Prayers Little One"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD-E-LDc384 Artist: Metallica Song: Enter Sandman (1991) Coming from the bands eponymous fifth album, simply called Metallica, this fantastic lyric grabs the attention and sets up the concept of the song beautifully: A child's nightmares... aw, such nice guys and great babysitters, I'd imagine.
