Rock Music Menu: Freedom’s soundtrack for going Fourth
By Michael Christopher
Ah, the Fourth of July; a day for fireworks, cookouts, a cold drink and maybe a dip in the pool. And whether you’re down the shore, throwing a backyard barbeque or sitting on the front lawn with your feet in a kiddie pool, you’ll need some tunes to go along with the holiday.
Fortunately, Rock Music Menu is happy to share with you the ultimate playlist to help put that patriotic display on for all your neighbors to hear.
For bonus points, instead of hanging the American flag out this year, wave it with unbridled abandon as you pledge allegiance with these rocking tunes:
David Lee Roth – “Yankee Rose”
When DLR released this smash hit in 1986, his first single post-Van Halen, it looked like the brothers VH were set to be left in the dust. From Steve Vai making his guitar talk in the beginning of the track to the end when Roth proclaims, “Here’s the national anthem,” this is quite possibly the most rocking of the bunch, delivered with an unmatched swagger for someone who proved he was more than just a gigolo.
Bruce Springsteen – “Born in the U.S.A.”
Neil Diamond – “America”
David Lee Roth – “Yankee Rose”
James Brown – “Living in America”
Scorpions – “Wind of Change”
Soundgarden – “4th of July”
Hall and Oates – “Philadelphia Freedom”
Lenny Kravitz – “American Woman”
Pearl Jam – “Rockin’ in the Free World”
Jimi Hendrix – “The Star Spangled Banner”
