Playlist: We Can't Afford To Be Innocent

[athelind]

I'm kicking around a playlist for the DC Adventures/Mutants & Masterminds game I'm going to be running Real Soon Now, and I'm looking for for songs with heroic, defiant themes.

This is what I've got so far:

• Pat Benatar - Invincible
  
• Muse - Victorious
  
• Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out for a Hero
  
• Queen - We Are The Champions
  
• Remy Zero - Save Me (

Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) by Mike & The Mechanics?

Okay, it isn't necessarily all that heroic in the, you know, hero sense, but it's got a rather revolutionary note to it. That's pretty defiant.

That's actually on the playlist I've been listening to on repeat at work this week. Yeah, it's on the list now.

I kinda figured it's the sorta song you oughtta have on a list like this, all things considered... }:D

[athelind]

... you mean "stuck in the '80s"?

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
(kind of "bottom of Act Two" but still...)

[margaras]

Jane's Addiction, "Superhero", from the Strays album.

I can't find a good youtube version. As much as I like JA, they tend to be shit live, even when sober.

Joan Jett - Cherry Bomb

[twentythoughts]

Mew - Saviors of Jazz Ballet (live version of the song here, starting around the minute mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzCUdrfHLt4 )

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Savior ("Parallel Universe" from the same album has a similarly superhero-y flavor to it, I think, just for the "unlimited possibilities" lyrics)

The Streets - Trust Me

My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na

Motorpsycho - Starhammer ("Orbiting stoutfully, I'm the starhammer, I'm bleakly keeping an eye on the sky as I fly by. Watch me!")

Oh, given my campaign setting, I think "Parallel Universes" is pretty much a given.
