During the battle of Tora Bora, U.S. special forces would blast Barry Manilow and Black Sabbath at the Taliban positions 24/7, and apparently it drove quite a few Muhajideen mad to the point of suicide. In their position, I would have been fine with Sabbath, but probably could not have taken more than a day of Manilow. Love the Ska bands, haven't heard or thought of Rafferty in decades, but that group cover is hilarious. Thanks.

Pretty much the whole of the Psychedelic Furs debut album, though my favourite is ‘Sister Europe’
