A quick rationale for songs chosen, hence forth, will help this thread keep on track? All songs I've chosen are from artists whom I've a 90 to 100 % discography depending on whether they are living or dead.... :coffee:

The reason I chose this is it's 92 and midway for Meatloaf....contains plenty of his angst with his multi-layered linguistic social commentary. And....I can listen to it twice - a great test for song selection.

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Some weird ass band with a singing drummer. I thought those went out with Ringo, The Band guy and Dave Clark.

From the staggeringly, bleedin' obvious category, ABBA and Dancing Queen:

God has no place within these walls, just like facts have no place within organized religion. - Superintendent Chalmers

It's not up to us to choose which laws we want to obey. If it were, I'd kill everyone who looked at me cock-eyed! - Rex Banner

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression. - Gary Larson

You chose completely atypical but popular songs from both Hawkwind and the Stranglers. Songs that in no way sum up either band's body of work or style. :roll:
To be fair, that's pretty subjective.

So here's the best thing to ever come out of Manchester:



Yes.. I think the Peel sessions are the best.
