Songs I Enjoyed a Lot in 2016
Here are a bunch of tremendous toe tappers that I sang along with or air-drummed to this past year. You’ll probably do the same after a couple listens. Just don’t air guitar around me, no one likes an air guitarist.
One thing, I cried the first time the chorus kicked in during the Bob Mould video. Powerful stuff, beautiful song.
Okay two things, there are five songs on the new Descendents record that are five of their best songs ever.
What? One more thing? Yes. Dag Nasty put on the best live show I saw this year. Shawn Brown is a charming front man with killer pipes and well, Brian Baker is a legend and it’s always an honor to watch him shred.
And lastly, Fight the Power in 2017.
