The Hardest Rockin Songs Ever!

Mägo de Oz- Fiesta pagana

Molinos de Viento - Mägo de Oz

forgot about this one

Forgot about this one a bit, pretty amazing the impression music can leave in your memory

I dedicate this today’s Dow Jones Index:

Deep Purple - Highway Star (yes, I’m listening to this on a Monday morning):

Okay, so we won’t watch or listen to your music, you win.

There’s still White Zombie and Deep Purple.

Nice when the girls dig a good song up

This ranks right up there for me as one of the hardest rocking song EVER because of the brutality of the battle talked about in the song. It relates to the Battle of Balaclava, fought on 25 October 1854 during the Crimean War, in which there was a headlong cavalry charge of the British Light Brigade into murderous Russian fire.

[quote]The Charge of the Light Brigade
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

II
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

III
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

IV
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

V
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

VI
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred! [/quote]

Yeah they are older :slight_smile:

They took the Alter of Sacrifice/Jesus Saves vinyl cut down, that’s annoying.
