"Show me your teeth, I'll show mine," Menomena's Justin Harris yelps in this blues-rock epic. The Portland, Oregon, trio fulfill their end of the taunt, clamoring like the Black Keys if they had recruited an angry sax player.

    “Help Me”

    Joni Mitchell | 1974

    Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
