Rock List: Friend Songs

10/10/08, 4:51 pm EST


After watching the second presidential debate this week and witnessing John McCain constantly referring to us as “my friends” over and over and over again, it seemed only natural that this week’s Rock List was dedicated to friendship. Tell us your favorite tales of companionship, and on Tuesday we’ll use teamwork to tally the votes and reveal the best friend songs. Until then, here are our picks:

LCD Soundsystem — “All My Friends”
The Lemonheads — “My Drug Buddy”
Paul Simon — “You Can Call Me Al”
Led Zeppelin — “Friends”
Beck — “This Is My Crew”
