Its TV-MA designation (apparently TV-Batshit Crazy isn’t a real rating…yet) is an understatement, its larger-than-lifedeath characters get and stay firmly under your skin from Episode 1 on, and its dark (in a sexy way) theme song is prone to be stuck in your head for days. This Songza-MA playlist is a tribute to all things Badass. Parental Advisory: Explicitness.

Hopefully the thought of No Doubt reuniting doesn’t keep you up at night.

Also. Fugazi album. 2010. 90% possible.

Between 1958 and 2003 he produced over 50 charting singles that defined the limits of music. This playlist chronologically tracks some of his most lasting songs including the quiet To Know Him Is To Love Him, the soaring Be My Baby, and the ultimately failed River Deep - Mountain High.
