Tommy Emmanuel - Lewis & Clark 6.5/10
Metrosexual Aussie dad wanks around on guitar part 1. Shame there weren't any accompanying lyrics because the Lewis and Clark expedition is interesting stuff.
Team America - America, Fuck Yeah 7/10
It's difficult for me to downvote this troll choice, because I actually love ridiculously patriotic American songs for how over the top they always are, also I'm a lifelong Matt and Trey fanboy. "Fake tits! Fuck yeah! Sushi! Fuck yeah! Taco Bell! Fuck yeah!"
Ted Nugent - The Star Spangled Banner 2/10
I like Ted, but meh.
Tori Amos - Virginia 4/10
I've never understood her appeal. Her voice is very overrated.
Chuck Berry - Back In The U.S.A. 7.5/10
Ridiculously classic tune!
Johnny Winter - Dallas 8/10
"There's so much shit in Texas, you're bound to step in some."
Dead Kennedys - California Über Alles 7.5/10
Another classic tune, never been a huge fan of
Dead Kennedys or anything but when they're good they're really good.
Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam 7/10
I love Nina Simone. Not one of her best tunes though in terms of performance.
Skeleton Crew - We're Still Free 7.5/10
This was very interesting, if I'm not mistaken that sample was a Ronald Reagan speech? Cool, need to follow up on this band for sure.
Frank Black - Los Angeles 6/10
Haven't heard this song in friggin ages. Wasn't this on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater or something? It's okay.
Somewhat disappointing playlist, this theme had potential. I'm not even very satisfied with my own pick. It was a rushed submission because I spent so long looking for a metal pick in confusion. Gah.
