I'm sure I've pigeon-holed myself enough that anyone who recognizes my post is expecting a pretty good, possibly long winded, list of punk songs. And I won't disappoint before this question expires, but, the songs that inspired this question were "Shapes Of Things" by The Yardbirds and "The Shape Of Things To Come" by Max Frost and The Troopers. Two of the best songs to ever grace my speakers. "Shapes Of Things" is one of the best garage rock songs out there as well as a very moving song, and while not necesarily about revolution it definantly deals with change and frustration with the current state of things. "The Shape Of Things To Come" is actually very different and just as good. The music is in a similar garage almost psychedelic style and is another top notch song, but where "Shapes Of Things" is a display of uncertainty and cynicism, this song is about certainty in the inevitible brighter future and features some of the best and most inspiring lyrics ever written and performed.
