Been listening to New Model Army again... they seem fairly topical these days.

Well, that's a blast from the past - was one of my favorite bands, many moons ago. I still love their stuff but haven't listened to them for a while. I think I will, now.  :)

Been to their concert 10 or so years ago. It was pretty great.

Thinking back, one of the first things my wife ever gave me when we met in university for the first time was a mix tape of New Mode Army.

Yes, tape. That was the tech then!  :lol:

The Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Danzig - Mother

I still think the young Glenn Danzig would have been a good Wolverine. His height of 160 cm is also more in line with the comics.

Living Color - Cult of Personality

This served as entrance theme for wrestler CM Punk. He had mediocre in ring skills, but he was great on the microphone, often breaking character and blurring the lines between fiction and reality, sometimes going very meta (in hindsight he used it to air his grievances with the WWE as an organization, and there's no love lost between them - he was fired on the day of his wedding). In that respect the song was a well fitting tune, commenting on the relationship between performer and audience.

QuoteLook in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
Then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your own god's name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of
I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of personality

Moody Blues: To Our Children's Children's Children

:thumbsup:  My personal favorite, even if Graeme Edge's verse is even goofier than usual (involving among other things "Ten billion butterfly sneezes.")
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
