Misfits/Samhain were fantastic! (danzig era, of course)
A friend of mine worked at Caroline records until the early 90s...heard some interesting stories!

I think 'Zombie' by the Cranberries (a protest song) belongs here as well: http://www.yamelo.com/clip/the-cranberries/21537_the-cranberries_zombie.html

This is the song that I can't get out of my head at the moment. I just watched Sweeney Todd staring Johnny Depp. He really is an amazing actor. turns out he can sing too.

Battery by Metallica. Specifically the cover by Van Canto as well, it's quite incredible.

Omg..I've finally found the name to the song I have been singing to on the radio.
It's the song I've always wanted to know the name to.

It's this: Chicago=> You're the inspiration
BEST SONG EVER

Check out their Greatest Hits '82-89. It has that song and their other good ones (Hard to Say I'm sorry, Will you still Love me, What Kind of Man Would I be, Look Away)
