A place to post all our socially relevant songs, ideas or RANTS...whatever we like.
I'll start with one of the greatest of all time....the greatest ecology song of all time!
Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology Song)----good to see all the "stars" getting involved here.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9BA6fFGMjI
Which as also from one of the top ten albums of all time!
Marvin Gaye-"What's Going On"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD78i6eoGkM
We don't need speeches and dogma, just play Marvin Gaye to the masses and we shall overcome!

When I see what is happening in Japan with the Nuclear tragedy...
in Libya, Iraq.....I can only hear these words over and over....
"What have they done to the Earth,
what have they done to our fair sister...."
When the music's over, turn out the lights....

Great choice, WTMO is always welcome. Particularly live versions.
"Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her,
stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn, tied her with fences and dragged her down..."
Here is another one:
Genesis - The Battle of Epping Forest (live Montreal '74)

Taken from a news story concerning two rival gangs fighting over East-End Protection rights.
I just love symphonic rock.

Everything from the keyboard playing to the guitar licks and especially the drumming for me, before "Jim" even starts singing...all are a dead giveaway....Densmore's drumming is as distinct as Ringo's and the fingerprint of the real DOORS.
