Not really rock but yes that song does bang.

High Society is a movie that never appealed to me, but it is possibly referred to in a song that deserves a mention in this thread. From the quick drum rolls of the intro to the screeching guitar lines, Moonlight On Vermont just bubbles over with adrenalin and anger imo. What Beefheart is furious about is never clear, which to me adds to the power of the song: it sounds like he's so angry he doesn't know what he's saying any more. And you don't often hear so much scorn in a voice as when he sings the line "Everybody's gone High Society." I used to imagine that he was so outraged that he broke a grammar rule and left the preposition"to" out of his sentence.


No, omitting a preposition = /thread

If a punch-you-in-the-face song has to have vulgarity and violence in the lyrics, then this song by The Dicks is also a candidate. I first heard it here on MB, so I owe someone a debt of gratitude for posting it previously:-
