friendssharingmusic is killing it with this theme (Four Songs I Would Kill To Play In Rock Band), I want to copy this. I predict Part 4/#1 is going to be Shake Some Action by The Flamin’ Groovies or Freak Scene by Dino Jr
Four Songs I Would Kill To Play In Rock Band (Part 3)
#2 Gang of Four - To Hell With Poverty!
One of the most influential and timeless post-punk acts, Gang of Four’s musical legacy can be reduced to three main points:
1. Gang of Four introduced a new style of guitar play, one that was more abrasive and “scratchy” than tuneful or melodic.
2. The group brought infused the punk form with funk elements, giving them their characteristic funky yet muscular rhythm section.
3. The band’s lyrics were extremely political and delivered in a detached, amelodic manner. And they did this without being obnoxious.
Only points 1 and 2 apply here as “To Hell With Poverty!” eschews the band’s colder tendencies as they opt to just tear shit up for five minutes. It’s got something for every member of your Rock Band.
