Seeing as No Kings was very well attended, how about protesting GOP silence on the East Wing demolition?

Suggested title:

No Balls

Day 4.
Cameo - Single Life

Oh my Codpiece. The eponymous single from this album is the best known. A blend of funk (Musicman Stingray the bass of choice) and Grandmaster Flash style hip-hop patches and rhythms. It got this white English kid into MOBO.

Def Leppard - Love Bites

It's like that scene from The Bad News Tour:
"We're not just another heavy metal band"
"I thought we were a heavy metal band? I'm leaving."

When it's "do a ballad to show our sensitive side", be like Nigel.

Day 3.
Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen

Titled Two Wheels Good in the USA to avoid a dispute with his estate. I bought this before their debut Swoon (recommended). The student disco played When Love Breaks Down, roundly applauded when it ended. Another great

Second chronologically but not in any order of preference. REM - Fables of the Reconstruction.

In the UK, I was surprised that few people looked back over their IRS albums when they became huge. Driver 8 and Can't Get There From Here are among their best.

Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way

It's a cracking toon, but a band of mine liked to jam it a lot and it's not much for the bassist to noodle with.

I won't try and order them by preference but U2: The Unforgettable Fire featured Pride - very much in the mould of their early material.

It's cold out! Share someone who looks stylish wearing gloves.

Worth watching this shred anyway, but the Michael Jackson gloved hand thing is great.

ELO - Mr Blue Sky

It's an obvious pick, but it was on the radio all the time when it came out and got somewhat annoying.

Adele - Hello

Chasing Pavements is still my favourite but there are plenty since that I like. This one is not in my top 5.
