Bands that remind you why Rock & Roll is a life-affirming force

You know, sometimes you get a little lost in rhythms and digital landscapes or epic post-rock, and you forget about that primal punch that comes from a punk-rock. Or how great it is to hear a riff that sounds like it's tearing the inside of your speaker.

For me, it's usually the opening bassline to Doolittle. It always happens when I hear Pretty Girls Make Graves, Blood Red Shoes or The Icarus Line. What has done it to you over the years or more recently?

The incredible bassline of Primal Scream - Kowalski

Also Accelerator, Kill All Hippies & Swastika Eyes; powerful songs that sound like a nuclear blast when they're played live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQ0Wrh_bjg

Also the superb & fierce Fait Accompli by Curve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Plourz3Xs

Also my favorite Pixies song, Monkey Gone to Heaven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK3iSglbZUM

Or the unstoppable energy of a The Birthday Massacre song like Happy Birthday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPgVESNjPg

Killing Joke - Requiem

I can't believe this song was released in 1980. It still sounds so fresh. Amazing!

i like that new Swearin' album. all the Crutchfield twins bands are good at doing 90s style rock and or roll in a fresh fun new way.

I have a bit of a thing for the intro to Industrial Estate by The Fall.

And I'm fully seconding Japandroids (Wet Hair) and The Stooges (1970) as they were my other joint-first-choices.

1.2.3.4.

Doesn't matter who says it, or what song is coming. It just works.

Zenith

Big arena tour. But they are such a force of nature live. Heard they've been playing Mexicola and The Bronze live as well.

IF they cut the Era Vulgaris tracks for Autopilot and You Can't Quit Me Baby and brought Lanegan out

I'd sell my kidney for that.

Came in here to say Brainbombs

Also, The Ramones. If Rockaway Beach doesn't give you an adrenalin rush, you're probably dead.
