"...paint the sky! with desire! angels fly! heavens on fire!"
That was one of the first music videos I got to see Readerbreeder. Our church sponsored one of those circuit-riding groups that were all about 'devil music'. They got the parents of teens and set up a time when we could all come in and see all the lewd, crude, and eeeeeevil images and ask the teens what they intended to do with their life. So, I made a checklist and got a Columbia House account the next week and bought every cassette they played an 'evil' video from. So, I guess that didnt work out the way they wanted. I know a lot of these were in that first order: Powerslave/Screaming for Vengeance/Last in Line/Animalize/Pleasure Victim/Blackout/Love At First Sting/Eliminator/Queensryche EP/Stay Hungry/Under the Blade/Live Evil/and maybe a Great White.
Killing Yourself to Live
Black Sabbath

That's a good list of some pretty solid metal of the period, Nomad! I have to wonder if some of these religious groups who fought so hard against Black Sabbath and their ilk would still have done so if they could see the mockery Ozzy, in particular, has made of himself these days. I didn't take much heat for the music myself; me, I was going to hell because of those satanic RPG's I was playin'... :)
River Deep, Mountain High
Ike and Tina Turner

Where Are They Now?

Edit: Dammit, it edited the first word of that band name. It starts with a C, and is a word that can be used to refer to a rooster.
Or an obscene head gesture. *cocks head*
Dammit!

For goofy titled rock songs, howzabowt: Thor Is Like Immortal
by The Fu##ing Champs...
this crappy clip only has about 15 seconds of the track right at the beginning while this dude talks over it and drives.
I also wonder about music as we age. Of course the Oz has totally made himself into a joke. One day, though, I am going to be in a senior center/rest home/whatever and Im still going to be blasting Maiden and Dio and KISS and what the hell will the orderlies be listening to on their ipod nanos that they will think is cutting edge as they change my diapers? Will it be something like girltalk? Where there is at least 2-3 songs overlapped as the track plays? Or do you think it will go back to singer-songwriters and a single acoustic or piano? I know there will always be garage rock and basic hop hop over a turntable (or its future equivalent) as those are cheap and fairly easy to form groups around as long as one has a van big enough to haul everyone to the gig.

Fast As A Shark
by Accept
I've thought about that too, and I have no idea. However, I am confident that the music of the future will suck. ;P

Huh. We always assumed it was one of those sound-words, like "ka-booom" or "sproing". Apparently we were wrong.
Evil Woman

Dude, that's probably my favourite song! Balancing that out will be hard, but I think I have just the thing:
Mellow Yellow
