Beatles- I Am the Walrus
Beatles- Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Black Sabbath- Paranoid
Bush- Swallowed (I can’t find Sixteen Stone, so I can only use songs from Razorblade Suitcase)
The Cure- Killing an Arab
The Cure- The Lovecats
David Bowie- Suffragette City
Elton John- Tiny Dancer
Elton John- Levon
Dropkick Murphys- I’m Shipping off to Boston (okay, so not a British band, I’m a cheater)
Led Zeppelin- Dazed and Confused
Led Zeppelin- I Can’t Quit You Baby
Pink Floyd- Breathe
Pink Floyd- Time

I thought I should end the soundtrack with a quintessential American band, so the last song will be:
Van Halen- Panama
HAHAHAHA! Kyle about died laughing when I told him that! Whenever we hear this song we always think of the scene in Superbad when they destroy the car.
I know there is way more Beatles than anything else, but how can you go to London without rocking out to the Beatles? That would be criminal.
