Sonic Youth - "Teenage Riot"

With what has been happening in Egypt over the last few days.... the revolution IS televised. An appropriate song would be a revolution song but this song still fits the bill... and it's so fucking good. Even the best bands in the world have a song that defines them and becomes their yardstick. Although they may emulate it or even excel at sometime during their career, the particular song still stands out as their defining moment. So after all that explaining, this has to be Sonic Youth's defining song... "Teenage Riot" from their 1988 album 'Daydream Nation'. Every riot needs a soundtrack.
