Your Independence Day Soundtrack

Here's some music to listen to while your grillmaster cooks up your hot dogs - songs about freedom and liberty and overpriced gas (okay, none on that last topic... yet)! So fire up the iPod/boombox/8-Track and try not to watch while your "special" cousin Timmy attempts to set off a bottle rocket while holding it with his butt cheeks. Enjoy!
  1. "Independence Day" - Elliott Smith
  2. "Firecracker" - Ryan Adams
  3. "This Land Is Your Land" - Woody Guthrie (with an appropriately feisty live cover by Tom Morello, playing as The Nightwatchman)
  4. "Fourth of July" - X
  5. "Free" - The Soup Dragons
  6. "U.S. Blues" - The Grateful Dead
  7. "Star Spangled Banner" - Jimi Hendrix
  8. "Freedom of Choice" - Devo
  9. "American Girl" - Tom Petty
  10. "Live Free" - Son Volt

So what did I forget? Post it in the comments, kids...
