Tsalagi:
Everyone's overlooking the only logical choice: "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane.

Hochie Cochie Man by Willie Dixon, I'm Just Your Fool by Little Walter, Sweet Little Angel, Little Red Rooster , Ball and Chain and You Ain't Nothin But A Hound Dog by Willa May Thorton I'm Goin Down To the Crossroads by Robert Johnson, Gimmie Back My Wig by Elmore James, The Killin Floor by Howlin Wolf I suppose that's enough. I guess you can see, I like the Blues.

T, anything Grace Slick did is nullified by her participation in We Built This City on Rock and Roll. What a wretched song.
Fat Bottom Girls - excellent choice. They make the rock and roll world go round, after all. Tie Your Mother Down, Killer Queen, Lover Boy, Stone Cold Crazy, all great Murcury songs.
Maybe Mellencamp, for the angst of a deadend life.
Some Simon and Garfunkle songs scream out for analysis. Bleeker Street, Sounds of Silence, Richard Cory, The Boxer, others.
Think about folk music, too. Lots of murder ballads and songs of work, slavery, spirituality, war, hate, love, redemption. Some spirituals have tons of poetry and meaning to look at.

If you want to have fun with the teacher you should do something like Dead Skin Mask by Slayer.
