So I suppose no one will ever see this.<br /><br />While I like "Stairway", I do not see it as appropriate zombie-poppin' music. For that, you need to go to Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks"!<br /><br />Quintessential rock'n'roll anthem? Why Joan Jett's "I Love Rock'n'Roll" of course! It is simple, with a driving beat & must be played LOUD. Lyrically it is also simple, narcissistic, high school-oriented and rebellious - everything rock'n'roll was meant to be! <br />Besides, if a zombie or two ever did make it into the bunker and managed to be "standing by the record machine" - why the irony would be just too, too sweet.<br /><br />Personally, I think Cat Stevens is just not suited to zombie killing in any way, though many would not classify his work as rock.<br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-28681245468914315042011-01-16T19:47:42.291-06:002011-01-16T19:47:42.291-06:00Oh man...*shaking head*

Kevin Matthews went from GVSU to WLAV, then on to Chicago and The Loop WLUP, came back to Grand Rapids a couple of years ago and is still teamed up with Uncle Buck, i.e. Ed Buchanon. In other words, when they say they play Classic Rock and have from the start, they actually mean it. (grin)<br /><br />And every spring Kevin hosts a "prom" at the Holiday Inn, for all those who missed prom the first time. It's bad tuxes, bad prom dresses, lots and lots of loud music til all hours and spiked punch.

Then not even ripping off <i>Werewolves of London</i> (fun for karaoke. I dunno about zombies, though) could make me listen to it willingly ever again.<br /><br />Best: Queen, <i>Gimme the Prize.</i> Just strictly based on zombie-killing potential. That's basically what the song is about anyway. Right?<br /><br />I could totally kill zombies to Pink Floyd's <i>Money.</i> Great rhythm there.<br /><br />There's really only one fair way to solve this question (and it <i>is</i> an important one). Load up a playlist of candidates and blast some zombies. If your Home Depot is all out of real ones, I suggest playing either <i>Left 4 Dead 2</i> or <i>Nation Red</i>, both available for your PC-playing goodness.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702255859416716456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-89595269645994670792010-02-13T00:58:35.505-06:002010-02-13T00:58:35.505-06:00Also my wife says GnR's Welcome to the Jungle ...Also my wife says GnR's <i>Welcome to the Jungle</i> needs to be nominated for best anthem.
