Subject: RE: What are Rock/Pop Anthems?
"Won't get fooled again," Bobert, from "Who's Next", which in my view is their best album.
I think everyone has been more or less right about the term "anthem" so far. When I used to read The New Musical Express, it was used to mean a song which was taken to heart by rock audiences, because they strongly identified with the sentiments. It seems that over the years the term has become used more frequently in the sense which McGrath and The Shambles are describing.
