    OKay... here we go!

    I know this is gonna be difficult, as there's so many different styles, eras etc to be taken into account. I'd still like to see what everyone comes up with though.

    Here are a few I'd put forward to start it off:

    Rebel Without a Pause-- Public Enemy

    PE rock, remember seeing them in 91 in London when this came on the place went mad
