792. BLACK FLAG, "Rise Above"
Produced by Black Flag; written by Greg Ginn
1981 Did not make pop charts
Who said there no protest songs in the 1980s? Okay, it's admittedly a pretty generalized protest song, more a voicing of general discontent than a focused, issue-oriented program for social change. But it's so peppy and energetic! And at this point in Black Flag's history, the band is still keeping frontman Henry Rollins in his pomo Ziggy Stardust place. It makes you want to go out and tell off your boss or parent--politely but firmly.
