280. RANCID, "Time Bomb"
Produced and written by Rancid
1995 Billboard: # 48
Quite simply, this is a song that is not possible after Columbine, at least not as a single that charts this high. Five years later, the song would have been more somber, something more like "I Don't Like Mondays." Here, the black clothing is a joke, the beat is bouncy. Five years later, you couldn't make a hit out of that. Five years from now, maybe you will be able to do it again.
