The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
New Order - Blue Monday
Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere
Billy Idol - White Wedding
A-ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good
"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911
"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good
I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.
"Hold on, hold on children, your mother and father are leaving, hold on, hold on children your best freind's parents are leaving, leaving,.......*AHHH*! " - Death From Above - Black History Month

OK. Here's some songs from the 80s that I like. But then again, yeah, we don't see eye to eye musically.
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
The Cure - Friday I'm In Love
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Anything by KMFDM
Anything by The Smiths/Morrisey
OK, this is what I listened to in the 1980s. This is why I'm fucked up beyond belief.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again
