So after a week of star fu-- er I mean star grabbing, welcome to Freealonzo’s Rock Week! This week will feature my favorite rock bands rocking out to rock music at its bone-jarring rockingest. No lofi-emo-jazz-acoustic-goth-folk-country-pop-soul music for 7 whole days. Can you handle it? I think you can, in fact I know you can. So get ready to rock because these songs go to 11!!!!!
I think it’s mandatory to start off Freeaolonzo's Rock Week with this song from the Mekons.

From The Mekons Rock and Roll
It's no Walkmen, but I really enjoyed this.
10. This song was without question one of the top 5 discoveries of my 80's music education at the hands of free and E-6 (and others).
No one will ask, but here's that top 5 in no order:
Freak Scene - Dinosaur Jr.
Cactus - Pixies
Memphis, Egypt - Mekons
Here Comes a Regular - Replacements
Teen Age Riot - Sonic Youth
If I had 8 days, Teen Age Riot would have made Freealonzo's Rock Week(tm).
Give this man another day!
No.
damn.
Here you go Brooks

Also I didn't realize Kim Gordon was so "leggy."
Ooh, Freak Scene is right at the top of my list as well.
I remember the first time I heard Retreat from Memphis like it was yesterday. That was a good day.*
