lovsinner - I have to say that I think it's very cool that you included Frank Sinatra in your mix. I love Frank and Ella Fitzgerald too. I can only say blach~~ about David Lee Roth, but don't beat me up...I loved all the rest of your faves..(and agree on the Kingdom Melodies)

aha...lyrics...
Lyrics of my adolesence:
Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you
Like the words I have to bring
I bring it for youAnd in leather, lace, and chains
We stake our claim
Revolution once again
No I won't, I won't wear it on my sleeve
I can see through this expression
And you know I don't believe
Too wrong to be told
Exactly who are you
Tonight, Tomorrow's too lateAnd we love to wear a badge, a uniform
And we love to fly a flag
But I won't let others live in hell
As we divide against each other
And we fight amongst ourselves
Too set in out ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel songLet the bells ring out
Let the bells ring outIs there nothing left?
Is there, is there nothing?
Is there nothing left?
Is honesty what you want?A generation without name, ripped and torn
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing at all
And if you can't help yourself
Well, take a look around you
When others need your time
You say it's time to go it's your time
Angry words won't stop the fight
Two wrongs won't make it right
A new heart is what I need
Oh God, make it bleed
Is there nothing left?"Like A Song", WAR, U2
Lyrics of eternal universality:
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blameYou say
One love
One life
When it's one need in the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for itDid I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go withoutWell it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
OneHave you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come tor raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?Did I ask too much?
More than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it againYou say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurtOne love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each otherOne
"One", Achtung Baby, U2
Lyrics pleading for an end to the destructive force that is religious fundamentalism:
so you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
and you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face
so you never felt alive until you almost wasted awayyou had to win
you couldn't just pass
the smartest ass
at the top of the class
your flying colours
your family tree
and all your lessons in historyplease... please... please get up off your knees...
please... please... leave me out of this
pleaseso you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call
and you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl
so you never knew that the heaven you keep you stoleyour catholic blues
your convent shoes
your stick on tattoos
now they're making the news
your holy war
your northern star
your sermon on the mount
from the boot of your carplease...please... please get up off your knees
please...please... leave me out of this pleaseso love is hard and love is tough
but love is not what you're thinking ofseptember... streets capsizing... spilling over down the drain
...shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain...october... talking getting nowhere... November... December...
remember...
are we just starting again...?so love is big bigger than us
but love is not what you're thinking of
it's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal
you know i've found it hard to recieve
'cause you my love I could never believe"Please", Pop, U2
Just three of my favorite songs lyrically speaking...

It's great you love Janes Addiction AND Frank Sinatra !!
I have no problems saying my faves are Radiohead, Led Zep, U2 AND Abba .
The Cult - they were great - I had many a drunken night at college dancing to She Sells Sanctuary. Unfortunately british bands are now mainly crap. I read in the paper this week that in 1985 british music accounted for 40% of record sales in the US. In 2001 this had become 0.2%.
What's happened to the british music industry??
We all list Led Zep, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, Stones, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd etc etc as some of our favourites. We Brits now have to suffer Westlife and Steps (boy/girl bands).
Sorry - beginning to rant... beginning to get drunk...

Bendrr
Excellent choice, GSX1138! The Dead Milkmen, I love that band.
My personal entries to the list:
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Molly Hatchet
Charlie Daniels
Credence Clearwater Revival - in this case, skip the compilations and collect the actual albums. Matter of fact, do a little searching and you'll find two other albums they made in their pre-CCR days under the names Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets and The Golliwogs. Well worth listening to.
Joan Jett 'The Hit List'. She does a cover of Nazareth's 'Love Hurts' that's awesome. For that matter, any cover Joan Jett does rocks!
AC/DC with Bon Scott. Some of their stuff after Bon died was ok, but the Bon era of AC/DC was the best.
Judas Priest. 'Screaming for Vengeance', 'Defenders of the Faith', and 'Turbo'.
Manowar 'Fighting the World', 'Kings of Metal', and 'Louder than Hell'.
All the 80's rockers. Yes, MikeMusto, including Poison. On 'Crack a Smile' they did a really rockin' cover of 'Cover of the Rolling Stone'.
KISS.
Shannon Curfman. For those of you who haven't heard her, go to www.shannoncurfman.com She is only like 15 or so, but has this incredible voice. To hell with Britney Spears, this girl has some real talent!
Ray Stevens
Weird Al. There's this parody of 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' that's credited to him that's just hilarious.
David Allan Coe The commercial stuff is fine, but again do some searching and you'll find his 'Underground Album' and 'Nothing Sacred'. Both never officially released, but bootlegs abound.
Any Dr. Demento compilation.
'Heavy Metal - The Movie' Soundtrack
'Twin Peaks' Soundtrack
Mike.

I knew Path would be on this one - HI PATH!
My current favorites to listen to at work? Cheap Trick, Queen's Greatest, Edwin McQuin (or close). SevenOfNive gave me some Soul Asylum to listen to.....some good stuff.
Catch y'all later

Just thought of another one that every rock record collection should include:
Jesus Christ Superstar - the original recording done before the show had ever been on the stage. Great album all around!
