Labor Day: The last hurrah of summer and the universal salute to the workforce. Whatever you’re doing for the holiday, do yourself a favor and blare at least one of these five tracks.
Skid Row – “Slave to the Grind”
Skid Row’s debut gets a lot of attention, but their sophomore effort and its title track is killer and deserves more due from rockers everywhere.
The Ramones – “It’s Not My Place (In the 9 to 5 World)”
Honestly, just this video alone is reason enough to include this track on the list.
The Clash – “Career Opportunities”
Probably the most scathing song about the workforce ever. We’d expect nothing less from the only band that matters.
Rush – “Working Man”
Come for the rousing track; stay for Alex Lifeson’s awesome solo.
Green Day – “Working Class Hero”
It’s gutsy for anyone to cover John Lennon, but Green Day nailed this cover.
