"Elected" - Alice Cooper

But thanks for all these.

That one was off their first album, which I had when I was 13...speaking of Culture Club, I thought of another song...."Mistake Number 3"

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

See I don't think it's "Little Lies" in this case.
How about "Lies" by The Knickerbockers" (Beatles-like and rocking) or "Liar" by Argent instead?

[Forsetti]

"Bed of Lies"-Matchbox Twenty

[marchingkazoo]

"I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls. What else?

PS -- If you're going for "Rock the Casbah," try Rachid Taha's version.

[Forsetti]

"Big Brother Muscle"-Screaming Blue Messiahs

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

Not since Artie Lange last night on Joe Buck's show has anyone dominated a conversation. Excellent suggestions.

[Forsetti]

I certainly don't want to monopolize the thread. I could easily go on but I tried to limit it to one song per artist ("Let's Go Crazy" beat out "Delirious"-Prince, for example).

[Forsetti]

"Renegade"-Styx
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World"-Tears for Fears
"I Scare Myself"-Thomas Dolby
"Lies"-Thompson Twins
"Free Fallin'"-Tom Petty
"Atomic Punk"-Van Halen
"I Suffered a Head Injury"-The Verve Pipe
"Something Going On"-When In Rome
"Here I Go Again"-Whitesnake

I think "Atomic Punk" and "I Hate Americans" are my favorites.

[Forsetti]

I can't even keep my own songs straight, it is "I'm Afraid of Americans" by David Bowie.

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

That is His song -- his "My Way."

[Forsetti]

"Brain Damage"-Pink Floyd
"Let's Go Crazy"-Prince
"President Gas"-The Psychedelic Furs
"This Corrosion"-Sisters of Mercy
"Panic"-The Smiths
"The Royal Scam"-Steely Dan
"Armageddon Days"-The The

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

There's something so right with "Let's Go Crazy," Forsetti.
Not to be confused with "Something So Right" by Paul Simon.
Thanks

[Forsetti]

"Your Latest Trick"-Dire Straits
"Shame"-Evelyn Champagne King
"You Talk Too Much"-George Thorogood

"Thick as a Brick'-Jethro Tull
"On the Dark Side"-John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band
"Flirtin With Disaster"-Molly Hatchet
"Dirty Little Secrets"-My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

I'd like to see your iTunes.
Good choices.
Oddly, "Never Been Any Reason" is a song that must not have gotten airplay where I lived, and I only discovered it recently.
"On The Dark Side" is great -- I'm thinking "Eddie & The Cruisers" was huge in Iran, but "Tender Years" doesn't really work.
Thanks.

Wow, Forsetti, way to step up to the plate.
"Dangerous Type" is one I love and would never thought of -- and "I'm Afraid of Americans" too
Thanks

[cautionbug]

By the way... Miley Cyrus? With all the sociopolitical impact of a water balloon on the sun?

[David Wild - Huffpost Blogger]

Going for a little irony -- apparently a swing and a miss.
But I'll keep swinging.

[cautionbug]

The irony would be the discovery that Ahmadinejad listens to Miley in his bedroom while playing with Rainbow Brite and My Little Ponies. In footy pajamas.

A great post though. No argument there. :)

[cautionbug]

Ooh! i forgot one...
