If you haven't heard TOOl cover "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin then get it. Hands down the best cover song I have ever heard, better than the original and I grew up on Zepp. There was no better in my mind.

"No Quarter"

Lock all the doors, kill the lights.
No one's coming home tonight.
The snow beats down and don't you know?
All our lives are growing cold, oh...
They bring news that must get through.
To build a dream for me and you, oh.

Locked in a place where no one goes.

They ask no quarter
They have no quarter.

Lock the door, kill the light
No one's coming home tonight

It's getting colder [7x]
Locked in a place where no one goes.

Lock the door, kill the light
No one's coming home tonight

They bring news that must get through.
Dying peace in me and you

Locked in a place where no one goes.

We have no quarter
We have no quarter
We ask no quarter


The hidden meaning is there for you.

Oh Alright, I'll tell you the meaning.

To give no quarter might have meant "don't show any friendliness to the enemy". It's possible also that to give quarters could refer to the need to provide prisoners with a place to stay, so that to give no quarter was a figurative way of saying "take no prisoners". In other words, to give no mercy.

I believe that Europe did The Final Countdown.

Come Sail Away-The Eric Cartman version
Tempus Fugit-Yes
End of the Line-Traveling Wilbury's
The Last Car(Theme from Gone In 60 Seconds)-Trevor Rabin
Talk To Ya' Later-The Tubes
Right Now-Van Halen
The Song Is Over-The Who
Finish it with the live version of "40" by U2 as you slowly fade out of the OR

A pretty eclectic group of songs, but all fun.

Thattsa great, great song.

Marketed by a video that'll bring tears to your eyes if you're at a bad place in your life.

Or even a good one.

Watch the video.

Intently.

BTW, how old is this video? And the part that says right now oil companies and old men are in control...

1991, I believe. It is hard to imagine that it was that long ago.

Gern-
Love the MAIDEN reference in your song list-recognize the Avatar...From "Somewhere in Time" album cover. How about "Number of the Beast" or "The Trooper" for the graduation song list?

Gern's listing of Right Now by VH reminded me of one of my favorite drummers. Mostly b/c of his shear speed. Check this out:

No list of songs in this forum is complete without I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones.
