I've always associated "Birthday" by the Beatles with July 4th because it's my birthday. Up until I was like 7, I thought that song only got played when I was blowing out the candles on my cake.

If you want to go sarcastic:

Blur - Magic America

The Clash - I'm So Bored With the USA

How about some of America's first major popular music....marches by John Phillip Sousa and his contemporaries. These pieces represent the type of music our ancestors listened to on the 4th and they sold millions of records, back when records were new technology. They gave Americian music a beat that is still evident even now.

Definitely "Star Spangled Banner" from Woodstock by Hendrix.

"Freedom" by Hendrix as well.

 

I love me some Explosions in the Sky, specifically the album "The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place" during fireworks shows.
