Likewise! Also thanks to Jhereko for running the whole thing and to CellarDoor for being a better promoter than I am. And thanks to some others too, probably

And as for '79, the best is yet to come 😄

Queens of the Stone Age- "Mosquito Song"

I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitoes come suck your blood
Leave you there
All alone, just skin and bone
When you walk among the trees
Listening to the leaves
The further I go, the less I know
The less I know

Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
Lullabies
To paralyze

Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know, I'm told they swallow you whole
Skin and bone
Cutting boards and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising you won't feel a thing
At all

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died
And the knife says

Separate, pick and pluck
Tenderize bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat you'll ever taste
Taste, taste
So you scream, whine, and yell
Supple sounds, a dinner bell
We all will feed the worms and trees
So don't be shy

Swallow and chew
Eat you alive
All of us food that hasn't died

The Flaming Lips- "Fight Test"

(The test begins...now)

I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool
So it came time to fight, I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it's all a mystery

Oh, to fight is to defend if it's not now then tell me when
Would be the time that you
Would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment
Oh that I, was the fool

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery

'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid, you have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could I would but you're with him, now I'd do no good
I should've fought him but instead I let him
I let him take you

I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlights begin, it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery

(The test is over...now)

The Clash - "London Calling"

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Now get this

London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling

I never felt so much alike

And how would you know? Have you actually listened to The Specials?

i'm so glad i listened to The B-52s ! it's a brilliant album, how come i never listened to this before !!!
even if i like 2002 a lot too, but with The Wall (31# in my chart) and the excellent B-52s my vote goes to 1979. and let's face it, 1979 is going to be very ... very hard to beat.

Question: How do you lose an almost sure fire 1979 vote?

Answer: THE WALL.... WHY? WHY? WHY? 🧱 🧱 🧱

2002 it is then although I only like Yoshimi.... which is not even anywhere near as good as the Specials 😢

BUT THE WALL

🧱 🧱 ](*,)

THE WALL IS THE BEST THING EVER SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

(Still going with 02. Between Blackalicious, QOTSA, and Yoshimi, it's like that team was made for me <3)
