924. We Gotta Get Out Of This Place by The Animals (1965)

"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" struck a chord with soldiers in Vietnam. It became one of the most requested songs on Armed Forces Radio. The Animals' version seems to refer to the sludge of industrial England as opposed to Vietnam, but the sentiments are the same. The song features unique bass work and an organ that ventures from subdued apathy to screeching desperation and anger.
