MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[tinhat]

There is some nice music posted here. When I read all the politics threads I feel like I hate most people here but at least music is something that can be shared.

This is another earworm that I can't shake. It keeps coming back to me randomly. It's interesting how much music in the 70's was about heroin, like Golden Brown, The Stranglers (see frugal's post). Spill the wine is also about heroin. This is a drug that thankfully, I have not taken.




There are some nice live recordings around too.

A little different.

Hate the game not the player.

Another band I've seen live multiple times (though the following are all official videos not live):

I was at this one somewhere in the crowd.

148.9 cents per Gallon in New York in August 1983

There's a musical reference in that.....

I'll reveal the answer in a few days unless anyone guesses it first.

The answer is pretty predictable given it's me posting it.

"Charley's good tonight" with attendant drum roll was not cheering Charley Watts; rather C+ H, Coke and Horse. You gotta mix it, you gotta fix it.

Black Sabbath's Paranoid at 50: potent anthems of working-class strife

Written off by critics as horror trash from ‘unskilled labourers’, Sabbath’s masterpiece album took beaten-down listeners on a rollercoaster out of their struggles

If Smurf posed a question like that then the answer was always going to be either something loud and heavy or right at the other end of the spectrum the bunch of three / two ladies.

In this case it's the latter:



Meanwhile plenty of other songs also reference New York in some way, like these:

Thus far I've lived through two periods that I'd describe as really strange. One is the present, but let's not mention politics or the pandemic, and the other was the late 1980's which produced things like this.
