Marillion 1984 Chippenham Goldiggers

Marillion - Live from Loreley (1987) - AI Enhanced

Marillion is a British rock band formed in Aylesbury in 1979.

 

Warning, this is political!

21st Century Digital Boy by Bad Religion

references (unsuprisingly) 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson

Both are great pub singalongs! Just think about what they're singing.

 

Main Teri Dushman, Dushman Tu Mera (I am the Snake, you are the snake charmer)

from the movie Nagina (1986).
The basic idea of the film comes from an ancient legend. The movie is more or less of a conventional Indian melodrama (be nice to Mommy, like the Ramones used to sing...) but this Snake Dance scene is intense stuff. Sridevi (the actress/dancer but not the actual singer) is stunning and conveys the fighting spirit of the song with great strength.

 

Algernon Cadwallader

 

it's ironic but that song's popularity at the time was said to be an attempt at selling out. It has probably gained more relevance than it has lost over time. But i'm putting this one on now instead:

 

The lyrics are way too prescient, scary almost, but yeah, it's odd to have the words "pop" and "BR" in the same sentence but that's kinda what it was, still great though. As I said it's singalong stuff.

No Control is great too, now you got me listening to it again, and again, and again...

 

Agaist the Grain is my favourite of Bad Religion, though they are all good, one of the best bands in my books, also Greg´s solos are great

 

Im listening to stuff that no one outside will know, but it's awesome regardsless:

Try their album "Being" and have your mind bent.

 

A great Scottish band, I first heard about them when the Swagger album came out ('Word Up' video on MTV), since then I've listened to their first 3 albums a million times. First class "mature" hard rock.
