"The Rising" can nearly make me cry every time, but Springsteen ruined it with that "la-la-la" post-chorus. I don't know what he should have done instead, but it saps the emotion from the song to take it into a stadium sing-a-long. It's just not appropriate to the subject material and the rest of the song. This one is probably the best one I know of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zxmZ3HKeEs |

  Klosterman's Theory: Did Radiohead's Kid A Predict 9/11?  this one seems unnecessarily celebratory and insensitive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYN7mTi6HM |

The Pogues- Tuesday Morning. It somehow came out like ten years before 9/11 despite obviously being about a doomed NY firefighter on 9/11. |

Very similar to In America by Charlie Daniels during the Iran hostage era. |

The Coup's follow up to Steal This Album was slated for September 2001 release with an album cover of Boots and Pam blowing up twin towers:  Not 9/11 related, always enjoyed this Coup track:

Agreed. I probably haven’t heard that song in over 10 years but it was fun having it blasting outside the barracks and 50-100 drunk ass soldiers singing along to it |

The Rising is an okay song, better version is Nancy Wilson doing it . |

Just pretend you can't understand the lyrics and the music is usually good. Some people say you are passing over to the other side while walking down a tunnel towards a white glowing lights, others argue that you hear the opening riff to Superman while dropping in on a vert pipe. |

Yeah that’s a good one. Hell, 7-8 more beers and I might throw that song on later. Haven’t even thought about it since I was at Ft Polk |

We heard that song while shopping down in Siesta Key this year and Both thought it was one of the most laughable set of lyrics I’d ever heard. I guess I could see it if you were serving like FF noted but I see it more like Cubs fans loving Go Cubs Go after a victory. Still an awful song. |

I blasted the song a couple times today in my apartment with the windows open. It’s still pretty good even though I’m definitely not a Toby Keith guy in general. Also a little fucked up at this point. |
