After House Republicans withdrew their health care bill from a vote, author Justin Halpern jokingly tweeted that Paul Ryan had blasted Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” in his SUV as he left the White House.
Ryan has said that he (unironically) likes Rage Against the Machine, as well as the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Beethoven, and “a lot of grunge.” He also released a playlist on Spotify. But what else is in his music collection? Let us speculate:
(1) Welcome to the Black Parade – My Chemical Romance
This is the song he played after “Last Resort.”
(2) In the End – Linkin Park
And then the song after that.
(4) (Rock) Superstar – Cypress Hill
Plays this every day during the drive to work.
(5) It’s My Life – Bon Jovi
Plays this before important meetings and big events.
(3) Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
It’s part of his party mix.
(6) I’m Shipping Up To Boston – Dropkick Murphys
He’s Irish-American! His ancestors were peasants who fed the potato famine! Did he tell you that he’s Irish-American?
(7) Summer Girls – LFO
No commentary necessary.
(8) Bodies – Drowning Pool
IT’S P90X TIME MOTHERFUCKERS LET’S PUMP SHIT UP!!!!
(9) Down with the Sickness – Disturbed
STILL PUMPING SHIT UP WE GO HARD!!!
(10) Freak On a Leash – Korn
Dealing with Trump and Congressional Republicans can be exhausting at times.
What else do you think is in Paul Ryan’s playlist?
(Note: Papa Roach would like to remind everyone that (1) they listen to Paul Ryan when they feel defeated and (2) the song is about suicide and if you relate to the song, please get help.)
