Things that always make me wanna jump around/mosh even when I am not at a concert are divided into these:
Songs that have “Oy! Oy!” parts you can pump your fist to:
– Godspeed by Anberlin. My current favorite and I’m seeing them next weekend!
– Half of Dropkick Murphys stuff
Punk songs that have a buildup to a heavy part that you can burst out with jumping and going wild when it happens:
– 10 Minutes to Downtown by the Get Up Kids
– At Your Funeral by Saves the Day
I saw them recently and they had the gnarliest mosh pit I’ve seen in 10 years. They practically define “OY! OY! OY!”.
I gotta go with God Save The Queen, Anarchy In The UK, Lust for Life (diminished somewhat due to ubiquitous TV commercials) and Blitzkrieg Bop. Yeah, I’m into the classics.
I saw NiN in a small club back when “Pretty Hate Machine” came out and HOLY SHIT! :eek: The pit was intense as hell and I was really glad to have worn my steel toe boots that night even though it was hotter than hell. I was the only chick in the pit and it was fun, fun, fun!
If I tried to do that now I’d be in the hospital. Ah, the good old days…
