Aside from the reckless driving test, here are the other reasons why "Annie The Imaginary Lawyer" is the best rock song:
1. Fast. Fast. Fast.
2. Super distorted power chords in the beginning.
3. Straight forward "boom-CHACK-boom-CHACK" rock drumming.
4. A wonderful amount of "fucks."
5. Staggered rhythm in the chorus
6. The bass lead in before the second chorus.
7. A rock lyric that only makes sense when you're caught up in the song "you're about as interesting as my rent."
8. Glockenspiel. Bitches.
9. A dirty chorus that's oh so much fun to shout along with
10. Powerful fucking male vocals at the end.
11. Girl's name in the title.
I also came up with a list for why "Only Anarchists are Pretty" kicks so much ass. Quick side note before I begin: If I ever get a talk show/late night variety show, I want World/Inferno to open the show with this song. This song SCREAMS SNL in the late '70s. Anyway, the list:
1. Strong piano part.
2. HOTTEST horn arrangements. The trills in the lead before the chorus KILL me.
3. The song is about anarchy, breaking out of prison, fighting, femme fetales, and sex. Do you see anything missing? Neither do I.
4. The way Jack Terricloth expresses the sex appeal of the love interest is with the line "[You tell everyone to go to hell] with the flash of the ankle and snarl of the lip. Well I see you in the street and gasp." FUCK. YES.
5. The clean guitar solo.
6. The kick line build up in the final chorus(s).
7. The COUNTERPOINT in the final chorus(s).
Jesus H. Christ I forgot how totally in love I am with this album (2006's Red-Eyed Soul).
