At the moment, Call It Democracy by Bruce Cockburn.
But it changes every five minutes. Kill City and China Girl and Dum Dum Boys by Iggy Pop, Perfect by The The, Ghosts of American Astronauts by The Mekons, Boxocotosis by The Fall, Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, Pretty Vacant by Sex Pistols, Complete Control and Radio Clash and Clampdown by The Clash, Behind the Smile, Googleplex and Firing Squad by the Subhumans, Hotel Matches and Pump It Up by Elvis, I Walk the Line by June Cash, You Trip Me Up by The Jesus and Mary Chain, and on and on and on.
Just millions of them.
