Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven by a simplistic but incredibly aggressive three-chord progression, this Van Morrison-penned track became the ultimate blueprint for thousands of aspiring garage bands. Its raw energy, sneering vocals, and extended, tension-building structure are frequently cited as early milestones in the development of punk rock.
