Here's a list of 10 songs you need to hear and bands you need to know about, although most of the bands I've covered on the site before.

Given the current insanity in the US, I had to include Patti Smith's People Have The Power. It's time for us all to get some balls and fight. Remember you heard it here first!

9... Hey Hey Girl (The Virgins)
8... Walking For Two Hours (The Twilight Sad)
