"I’ll be listening to Kendrick Lamar 'I,' because the song captures the spirit of America in 2014. We’re imperfect and our generation has a lot to deal with, but with a little self-love we can bring about change within ourselves and then our government. It all sounds very Power to the People." - Rob Markamn

8. "The Payback," James Brown

"It's an empowering track that gets me psyched to vote on ballot initiatives, even if they're as lame as whether or not proposed legislation should be distributed electronically vs. on paper (OF COURSE THEY SHOULD BECAUSE IT IS 2014 WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS THERE ARE PEOPLE STARVING IN THE STREETS!)" - Adam Murphy

9. "DIY2K," PUJOL

"I listend to PUJOL when I voted for the President and I'll listen to PUJOL when I vote this time around -- mostly because of these lyrics (even if they are kind of sarcastic), "Not disenchanted/ But feeling stuck/ So, yeah, dude I do give a f---/ America, you know better/ I know we can get it together/ So baby, tell me about the dream." - Brenna Ehrlich
