If I had a rocket launcher by Bruce Cockburn (I don't know if that's really the title, but y'all know the song, right?) and Shiny Toys by Joni Mitchell are two that would be on there for sure. I like my Canadian anti-corporateers, I do. And when I was a kid, listening to Bruce Cockburn was one of the only times I could get away with saying 'son of a bitch' (although I didn't think about that expression being oh, just a touch misogynist back then...)That Paul Simon song where he says something like "if I can call you betty, you can call me al, caaaaaall meeee aaallll"....you know? (from Graceland) great to keep me cheerful while I scrub a toilet or fold some laundry. Makes me think of my mom most of the time. Just about anything Aretha Franklin ever belted out is good to help me feel tough and womanly if I'm faltering. Faaaaantastic for singing along when you're home alone. That A-Ha song, Take Me On...that always makes me feel like I'm about 8 again, which is sometimes very very nice. Also almost anything by Dire Straits because Mark Knopfler plays that geetar like an angel. I particularly like the Brothers in Arms album. For a while I was really grooving on Sarah's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, but I'm slightly less angsty now than I was back then and it tends to indulge a sad mood for me more than anything these days. That's sometimes a really good thing. Hmm....I'll keep thinking. This is a fun idea, because I really have the means to make such a CD. Wouldn't it be a nice Christmas gift for my girlfriends out wandering all over the world?

The new hit by Nickleback is as powerful as, If I Had A Rocket Launcher. Same message different context.
quote:
He's drunk again, it's time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
She's just a woman
Never Again I hear her scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
I'm terrified that she'll wind up
Dead in his hands, She's just a woman
Never Again Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
It's right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again Father's a name you haven't earned yet
You're just a child with a temper
Haven't you heard "Don't hit a lady"?
Kickin' your ass would be a pleasure He's drunk again, it's time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, she's had enough
Tonight she'll find out how fucking
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger just as fast as she can
Never Again Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I ever
Seen it this bad
She's just a woman
Never Again
