Best Songs of 2007: No. 16

'New Wave,' Against Me!

There's a reason this song is the title track and lead single on the Gainesville, Fla., punk foursome's fourth album. While possessing a strong pop sensibility, this rock anthem maintains a viscous heartbeat, pulsating steadily but raring to go as Tom Gabel incites today's youth to take control, wipe the slate clean and create its own art with this call to arms: "We can be the bands we want to hear/We can define our own generation!"
