Around the time corporate America got a hold of Rock n' Roll music it was decreed that all pop songs were to be between 3 and 4 minutes-- because honestly, who has time for a 12 minute overture. Not me. I've recently found that I don't even have time for 3 minute songs anymore. The following are 5 songs by 5 very different artist that get their point across in under 2 minutes.

First we have Wayne (not lil') whose song has become my personal mantra. Followed by El-P who sends a letter to the government to let them know just how he feels about the war in Iraq. While El-P crams as much as he can into a minute and a half, Brand New does just the opposite but is no less passionate. Next is a song by the French producer (and personal friend) Onra. It's from his album Chinoiseries which was birthed on his trip to Vietnam where he went digging for rare vinyl and came home with some real treasures. Finally there's Sleeping In The Aviary with the longest song of them all. Although it must be said that almost all their songs are under 2 minutes and rock equally as hard. Enjoy!

Wayne - Take Me Home

el-p - dear sirs

Brand New - Tautou

Onra - The Anthem

Sleeping In The Aviary - Another Girl
