I couldn't agree more.

> Favorite Album: 
> Again, only one? Okay, for the moment I would say Thunder and 
> Consolation by New Model Army. 

Give me '... & Nobody Else' from the New Model Army every time - 
it's longer :-)

> 
> Favorite Song: 

New Model Army - The Hunt

> 
> Favorite album by a female artist:  

Pat Benatar - Wide Awake in Dreamland

> 
> Favorite song by a female artist:

difficult - somewhere between Pat Benatar, Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco I
suspect.

> 
> Favorite Performance by a solo artist:

A piano piece by Ashley MacIsaac, a ferocious fiddler. Can't recall the
name right now.

> 
> Favorite rock song:
Real rock? Metal Church - Gods of Second Chance
> 
> Favorite rap/hip-hop song:

Die Toten Hosen - Hip Hop Bommi Bop (I suppose it's the only one that
calls itself hiphop :-) )
> 
> Favorite country song:
Oh dear. None.

> 
> Favorite metal/industrial/elektronika song:

Wargasm - Chameleon

> 
> Favorite "not-so serious" artist:

Die Toten Hosen
> 
> Best music to celebrate to:

some happy rock with celtic influences from The Oysterband.

> 
> Best music after a crappy, crappy day:

Skyclad, Rush, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult

> Best music to fall in love to:

Pat Benatar - Innamorata

> 
> Best music to pump you up:

Magnum - On a Storyteller's Night (more specific 'How Far Jerusalem')

> 
> Best music to mellow out to:

when my child is quiet :-)

> Most emotional music:

The time of Thatcher inspired some pretty emotional music by New Model
Army, The Oysterband and The Men They Couldn't Hang.
> 
> Best song/album from the 60s or before:

I did check - but all my music from after 1970. I'd guess Hendrix, then.

> 70s: 

Rush - 2112

> 
> 80s:

New Model Army, The Oysterband, Big Country

> 90s and 00s:

Skyclad, older Levellers albums

> 
> Best Soundtrack:

Aliens has a pretty good soundtrack, but to listen to it without seeing
it - no.

> Your current "guilty pleasure:"

Sins of Thy Beloved - Perpetual Desolation.
Death-grunt, high female singing, gothic metal and a very funky violin.
The violin does it. I like almost all rock-music with a violin.

> Name one more song you like that you haven't mentioned yet:

Triumph - Headed for Nowhere
(Surveillance was their best album, in retrospect).

> Favorite punk song:

The Offspring - Kick him when he's down

> Favorite folk song:

Levellers - Another Men's Cause

     30 Midnight Oil
     26 Big Country
     18 Blue Oyster Cult
     16 Triumph
