Which songs make you feel really energetic?

[Fenris]

You know the type, the songs that are just bursting with energy. The type of songs that make you want to pogo or beat the shit out of something or yell. They have the ability to channel all your anger and brain chemicals into a loud blast of musical expression.

For me, "Sparks" is the holy grail of energy songs. Loud and repetitive. My favorite off of Tommy. There's a great scene in Almost Famous where the main character, who has never experienced rock music before, puts on the record and "Sparks" is the first song he hears. It's a cool scene. It's like he discovers God or something.

So what's you "energy" song?
