Wake Up by Arcade Fire (2005)

The key change that can activate a generation's worth of Manchurian candidates, Arcade Fire's 'Wake Up' builds to one of the most thrilling, bracing moments in rock history. Boomers had Hey Jude, Gen X had Born to Run, Millennials have Wake Up.

Side note - picking a best outro from this record is brutal, I'm partial to Rebellion's, Crown of Love's is spectacular, Neighborhood #3's smacks, #1's is awe inspiring but Wake Up has that unimpeachable icon status.

Outro begins at 3:51
