politcal singles of alltime:
"free saptal ram" by asian dub foundation.
for those who dont know he was a asian waiter im the UK who (in the thatcher era) snapped when a group of drunken curry-and-leager youths taunted, threatened and abused him (they threw chairs at him and told him he was a dead man). he snapped, killed one and ended up doing >15yrs for murder for an obvious self-defence case - this was recorded when he was still in prison.
"homophobia" by chumbawumba.
"battle of the beanfield" the levellers - if you dont believe this was an outrage, look for filmed footage on the net... last but not least....
a single dedicated to thatcher, with twee music and vitriolic lyrics (current cos of reagan's death cos of his alliance with thatcher)
"tramp the dirt down" by elvis costello
ending lyric "'Cos when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down"
[no need to flame me lol]
interpersonal-raltionship singles
P
the only ones "another girl, another planet"
skunk anansie "weak"
madonna "power of goodbye"
....more optimistically
"all i need" air
"the first time ever i saw your face" ...when sung by just about anyone it makes me cry, its soo beautifuli too have nostalgia for floodlands and oranges and lemons
