24. "Were Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister
Twisted Sister's "Stay Hungry" came out just as we graduated from high school, so most of my memories related to this song are from the summer after high school and my first year of college. Since it was an anthem of independence, it perfectly reflected my attitude at the time.
I also have a fond memory of my nephew Ryan and me singing this at the top of our lungs during a long road trip from North Platte, Nebraska to Pocatello. He laughed so hard when I flipped a double-bird at "We'll fight (yeah) you'll see! (double-bird flip)" that he nearly ran off the road. But there's not song that makes you want to let the double-bird fly like this one.
Fun Fact: I always thought "We're Not Gonna Take It" sounded like "O Come All Ye Faithful." I was right.
