My first contribution
Rock, Wolfmother, "Violence of the Sun", 2009
Hailing from Australia, 60's and 70's rock-inspired Wolfmother has had a fair number of hits that got airplay and found chart success, but this isn't one of them. They primarily play smaller venues when they headline USA tours. This is one of my favorite tracks from their second album, which featured 4 singles. Their eponymously titled debut album had 6 singles that made the charts somewhere in the world.
Good music is good music regardless of the beliefs of the artist. Nice pick.
Nice performance. I don't know if it was ever released as a single, but it did appear on one of his compilation albums. I say it belongs. My thread, my rules, so let it be written, so let it be done.

I love how he talks about what inspired the track before he plays it too, plus it's funny and well written/performed. It should have done much better than it did.
