With any luck this poll will explode.  Multiple votes are allowed, so pick your 3 favorite bomb songs.  



The Kaipa song wasn't on YouTube nor Bandcamp, so here is a link to Spotify Timebomb - song and lyrics by Kaipa | Spotify

The Mudway song also wasn't on YouTube no BandCamp, so here is a link to Spotify.  El Bombastico - song and lyrics by MudWay | Spotify

For my three:

June Cleaver and the Steak Knifes - "Bomb Shelter"
Motorpsycho - "The Bomb-proof Roll & Beyond"

And for my third I go with your "Choose your weapon" option for a "da bomb" classic, Groundhogs' "Thank Christ for the Bomb".

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Oh gosh, what a blast.
Nice playlist to go through. I only knew the songs by The Police and Saga from this list, but there were some others that were good listens. For my votes I'll go with June Cleaver and the Steak Knives, Mediabanda and hesitated between Red Sparrows and Saga, but I'll go with the latter - not their best but still "Saga" enough to please, and also because I'm too lazy to choose my own weapon.

However, although it wouldn't get my vote, I want to throw this bomb at you. And it was the bomb in 1982 in The Netherlands by a group that was the most popular in that period - a popularity of Beatlesque proportions (keeping everything in proportion, of course), including the screaming girls etc.

Doe Maar - De bom (The Bomb); this is a performance of 2012, and I learned by looking for this that the singer Henny Vrienten (not the one at the keyboards) died last year - RIP Henny!
Typically early 80s cold war lyrics at a moment that the US wanted to station nukes on Dutch soil...
(English translation of the lyrics here)

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I actually thought about including the Ozzy song.  The Groundhogs song would have been a good one to include. I don't have that one in my collection, but I am obviously familiar with it.

Excellent video, I voted for GAP Band too. Another good one is "Cherry Bomb" - The Breeders.

Whoops, my mistake, "Cherry Bomb" is by the Runaways, I was thinking of "Cannonball" by the Breeders.
