Wake Up Song: The Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums

It's just about impossible to not feel energized when this song comes on. One of the all-time great kiss-off lines ever: "kiss me where the sun don't shine. The past was yours but the future's mine." was he talking to John Major? Phil Collins? Pop music of the time? Either way, this helped kicked the door in for Britpop to explode. Must have been an exciting time.

Stone Roses - Fools Gold
