But how can you not have heard of The Jam... How old are you again?

Great song. Someone should pay to have it aired during next year's elections.

[chequita guevara]

It was cute.

Remember,

VOTE SOCIALIST! Or Green or Labor if they actually manage to get off their butts and run.

Hmm, you should've been exposed to it by now then really as a self respecting college student. Maybe Paul Weller rings any bells?

There's a little snippet of probably their most famous song here: http://www.gearchange.org/descriptio...derground.html

please Che... we don't need Bush to win again...

VOTE TO BBAAC Beat Bush At ALL COSTS!

[Sava]

lightblue: if it's a British band, I wouldn't know it... what kind of music is it? I tend to like Metal, techno/progressive, and some rap. It better not be some 80's music sounding crap. I can't stand 80's music.

In fact you might like the lyrics, think they're more anti Thatcher, but you can switch em to most rightwing governments

The Jam - Going Underground 1980

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point.

Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade and,
I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money - of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes

And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got -
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak

What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns

And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants
I'm going underground, (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground, (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow

We talk and talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
The braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream!

Going underground...

Why? Bush is one of the greatest organizers the left has ever had. Another term of him and the revolution will be on its way.

[Sava]

Sweet! I'll check them out... thanks Lightblue!

edit: I'd rather not have things get so bad that a revolution wuold be necessary. But... perhaps that's what's needed to get rid of this corporate government.

[Az]

It could be great, but the comparison to the Nazis kinda turned me off.

[Sava]

yeah Azazel, that is stretching... but it's entertainment

[Az]

Also the "comrades arise" with the wild nature or something in the background made me REALLY roll my eyes. It's like he's trying to cater to everyone who's not a republican at the same time.

well... yeah, duh!
