In honor of the American Accordionists Association’s annual festival — going on this weekend in Arlington, Virginia — the Washington Times published a list of its top five accordion rock songs. (We’ll try to ignore the fact that they misspelled “accordion.”) Their list:

  • “Squeeze Box” by The Who
  • “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” by Bruce Springsteen
  • “Jenny’s Got a Pony” by Los Lobos
  • “Back Street Girl” by The Rolling Stones
  • “If I Should Fall from Grace With God” by The Pogues
