What happened to music that meant something?

The Who at the Kingdom or Kiss at the Coliseum.

Where is the Misty Mountain Hop? Where is the smoke on the water?

Where is the Iron man of today. Hey, this is not a test. This is Rock and Roll. After a relaxing labor day doing nothing at all, we imagine you, like us, again have work on the brain.

I'm Greg Kott.

And I'm Jim Deregadas. We're going to celebrate our

nation's laborers with the best songs inspired by work. Then we'll review the new

album by garage rocker Ty Siegel. That's all coming up on sound

opinions. Oh, I got work to do.

I got a job, I got a job,

I got work to do.

I got work to do.

I got work to do. I got work to do. I got work to do. I got work to do.

You're listening to sound opinions from W be easy and PRX and now it's time for the best work songs

the perfect way to get back into the swing of things after the long Labor Day weekend.

It's astounding to me how many great, I mean truly wonderful rock and roll songs are inspired by work.

And it's astounding because basically the goal of every great rock and roller is to not work

is to avoid having to grow up and get a real job.

Very true.

Very true indeed.

So in honor of that, we're going to play some work songs that we love.

An amazing subject area, right alongside sex, God, death.
