Forlorn Hope
Anyway, about your plugs — I actually know both! Sabaton have a song about the Six Day War, the Siege of Bastogne in WWII and Osama bin Laden, among other things; they sure like their politics.
Why? Because I'm looking for stuff to listen to that isn't my usual cup of tea. Also because I want to plug some music I like.
First up is Forlorn Hope by After Forever. A symphonic metal song about the Second Intifadha. Make of it what you will.
Last but not least, Night on the Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky. Czernobog approves of this one.
So, what do you guys listen to? What would you plug?
I suppose I shouldn't add it to the PPC mix thread, since it relates to Boarders, not agents, but listen to this beauty.
Great choice in music. I can't believe I forgot about Miracle of Sound in my post.
What's your favorite song by him?
Don't worry about forgetting, it just meant I got to share instead.
They Might Be Giants recorded a song every week of last year, and it is great. Of them, my favorite would be Music Jail.

Ode to Sleep, Migraine, Car Radio, and Heavydirtysoul specifically. When I can sing/rap Ode to Sleep perfectly, I shall die happy.
And, because it's me and Christianity must be involved somehow, have some Ghost Ship in your ear. This song got me through a bit of a tough spot, actually; and it just sounds nice.

Could I also subject Give me Your Eyes, from Brandon Heath? Yes Voyd presented it some months ago, but that's really good music.
I used to sing it all the time. It's an excellent song.

Are you into gospel at all? Aside from stuff like Handel, it's the only obviously faith-based music I can deal with.
It's a lot better than most modern "worship music" (how many times can we sing "woah" in one chorus? You're about to find out!!), but I don't listen to it very often. Which artists do you like?
-Alleb
Alright. I'll shoot.
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel. Bit like a jazzy Bohemian Rhapsody, what with all the different styles blended in.
By Satchmo himself, Butter and Egg Man.
I bloody love this song.
But very much my cup of tea. I like Jazz. It is fortunate, because I'd have gone crazy otherwise; my mum likes Jazz, too.
Bugger.
Worry not, though, Jazz-fellow, for I have a fallback: March of the Black Queen.
I suppose Queen is technically everyone's cup of tea (even caterpillars and pelicans and Gothic cathedrals and other things that don't drink boiled water,) but it's a good song, okay?
My cup of tea has tea in it. I don't think Queen has tea in it.
There would've been a problem if your cup of tea had, say, hydraulic fluid in it.
While the tea made from automatic vending machines probably shouldn't be considered tea, sometimes I get myself some to rinse away the smell of hydraulic oil if something went wrong wihile flushing the plane's hidraulic lines.
... Like today. I'm pretty sure that even after a shower, today my perfume is "Eau de MIL-PRF-5606 H".
But sometimes my cup of tea contains window cleaner.
Jethro Tull, Broadsword and the Beast.
Also look up Habanero Reel.
While not quite as iconic as E1M1, DOOM II's first level has an awesome tune that played as you built your arsenal while Running from Evil.
If you're not looking for vidya gaem tunes, then I suggest checking out Devotchka's works. My favourites are The Alley, The Clockwise Witness, and Queen of the Surface Streets.

Anyway, about your plugs — I actually know both! Sabaton have a song about the Six Day War, the Siege of Bastogne in WWII and Osama bin Laden, among other things; they sure like their politics.
But they really do do their research, which is one of the reasons I really like them.
A couple of other plugs that I didn't mention in my first post, first up Van Canto, an A Capella metal band (well they have a drummer but everything else is A Capella), the other is Gloryhammer, who have some, 'interesting' songs and generally make their albums tell some kind of story whilst simultaneously being a parody of normal Power Metal bands.
For starters, trad thrash with Holy Grail.
Next, folk-punk with Frank Turner
Off the top of my head, search these artists:
Waterflame89
Phyrnna
Whittaker Trebella
