    @brianlux in my opinion this is the best Megadeth song ever made.  Give it a listen.

    My Last Words

    Good one.  Again, I admire the musicianship.  The sonic attack overwhelms my auditory senses such that heavy metal only works in small doses for me. 
    Thanks for posting a favorite!

    Well played. I was just about to post No Sleep Til Brooklyn because it was the first 7” single I ever bought.

    Very cool!  You can add your story as part of more songs about building and food!

    The first hair band I ever saw was Journey (opening for Link Wray at Winterland in 1974) before anyone had ever heard of the band.  My first thought was, "Who are these guys, and what's with the beauty salon hairdos and bare chests?  :lol:

    Journey was definitely Mullet worthy, lol.  I hated the mullet so bad. Still do.  I always thought a dude should never have bangs, lol.

    This was played on the radio a lot but they never really mentioned the lyrics, just the happy pop music. Maybe it was too 'deep' for daytime radio to deal with back then.
    It was a few years later when I really listened to it, and realised the heartbreaking story behind the words.

    Great choice and yes, the story really hits hard.  Very sad.

    Great song!  I had the LP for a while but that was the only song I liked and it got a lot of radio play anyway so I let the LP go.
