Fake Plastic Trees (Radiohead)
Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan)

Great idea for a thread Maxxy

[maxxy]

Do you even know what Sunday Bloody Sunday is about?

[banana brother]

Yeah its about violence between the Irish and the British.

[maxxy]

ya. one day back in (I think) 79 or something there was some huge riot on a sunday and a lot of people died in belfast.

[banana brother]

I think for this thread we should list what we think are the best lines from some of our chosen songs
for example:
The Dust Blows Forward and the Dust Blows Back - Captain Beefheart
"Tote'n old grain in uh printed sack/
The dust blows forward 'n dust blows back/
And the wind blows black thru the sky/
And the smokestack blows up in suns eye/
What am I gonna die?/
Uh white flake riverboat just flew by"

Genius
