Both excellent songs. You are correct Moogtron III, After the Day was about nuclear war. I thought of another one about the bomb dropping on Hiroshima. Rush - The Manhattan Project.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Barclay James Harvest's After The Day has a nice explosion in the end. The title and the sound of the explosion make me think that it might have something to do with the atomic bomb.

Alrighty - I'll start us off:
Some of my favorites include
Genesis - Domino (nuclear war)
VDGG - After the Flood (environmental disaster)
Rocket Scientists - Oblivion Days (environmental disaster)
Marillion - Seasons End (environmental disaster)
Jefferson Airplane - House at Pooneil Corners (nuclear war)
and one more, Camel's For Today about 9/11. Or at least inspired by the events of 9/11.
What are some others?

We...could always... derail this one a wee bit... ...couldn't we?

A negative number was raised to a power that is not an integer.

Here's a few off the top of my head.
Jethro Tull - Under Wraps (Symbolises what went wrong in the eighties, IMO Disco Folk is not a good genre to aim for)
Peter Hammil - Magog (Why taint a beautiful album by such a random lengthy virtually unlistenable inclusion?)
ELP - Benny the Bouncer (When the vocals come in, this song it makes me want to cut my ears off)
Pink Floyd - On the run (I suppose it might have been new at the time, but I have always hated this song for it's lack of ,well, being a song)
Transatlantic - Charlotte Suite Pike (It takes cheesy to a whole new level)

I like Suite Charlotte Pike.
