| Rec Roulette Round 2 - Politque
Four participants with four lists of recs going.. Each will act as judge of his own list and dictate what genre/theme/mood/concept/ides goes for each round, and the other three will rec.. How we compute scores will be determined at a later date amid bloodshed and squabbles.. It will messy and long and beautiful!! Participants are bgillesp, butcherboy, uniqueuniverse and this boi. | | 1 |  | Henry Cow
In Praise of Learning
This round // politically-driven music, preferably with radical viewpoints or with heavy emphasis on compositions or specific political themes (ex. Henry Cow as of this album were part of the Rock In Opposition movement, and the band had rather leftist views that came to a peak with the sixteen minute manifesto "Living In The Heart of the Beast" - really should get to reviewing this soon btw)
