IVY GREEN "I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT" (1978)

"I'm Sure We're Going to Make It" is a killer two-chord Dutch punk blast from 1978. It kicks off Ivy Green's self-titled debut album, a notoriously rare LP (even bootlegs are hard to come by apparently). The song feels so fresh, like it could have been in the past year rather than 31 years ago. Its catchy vocals and two-chord minimalism fit it alongside contemporary punk bands like Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Pissed Jeans. The ecstatic single-note keyboard line propels the synchronized guitars, bass, and drums, blasting the song through its three and a half minutes in what feels like a second. Listen. Repeat. This is the greatest song of all time.
