Punk Rock 1980s and 90s - Rise Against did a cover of "Anyway You Want It" at the end of their third album.
The correct answer is 'False'
Its false, Rise Against's third album is called "Siren Song For The Counter Culture" and it is probably my favourite album released in 2004. I urge you to try it. However, good as it is, it does not contain "Anyway You Want It". That was off the album previous to "Siren Song For The Counter Culture" called "Revolutions Per Minute" which was also very good. So, as you can see, I like Rise Against.
Thanks people. I hope you enjoyed my quiz.
