I'm fairly sure Orinoco Flow is her tribute to Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick by Ian Dury.

Enya isn't a fan of Rush. Here's a genuine quote from an interview with Rolling Stone:
"Rush is music for fecking virgins who can only achieve erection when they see a Klingon. These gobshites need to drink some domestic beer, listen to the primal music of Van Halen, and go on the prowl for poontang."

Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on May 09, 2025, 10:01:57 AMI mean, Orinoco Flow is basically Enya's tribute to Rush's A Passage to Bangkok. She's said as much herself, I'm almost certain.

Hit me slowly, hit me go tobann?

In the deserts of Sudan, and the gardens of Japan
From Peru to Cebu, hear the power of Babylon
Every woman, every man
Hit me with your shillelagh

Reverend Bizarre: In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend

Seeing as the other thread put it in my head.

Even in my 40s I still smirk or childishly giggle whenever someone says Bangkok.

Electric Wizard: Dopethrone

Again, following on from the mention in the other thread.

Slomatics: Strontium Fields

Slough Feg - The Ephemeral Glades

Enjoying this a lot. Haven't done a proper sit down to listen to Traveller and then it though. Looking forward to that.

Pantera playlist with cans in the sun. Probably belongs in the simple pleasures thread.

Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood

Had it on not too long ago. What a fucking fantastic album. There's nothing else like it at all

Deftones - Diamond Eyes.

Never too mad about this one but it really clicked finally the other day. Love when that happens

One of my favourites as it happens.  Probably third place after White Pony and the s/t

I think I actually get why now after disagreeing with you for years

Manowar: Kings Of Metal (LP)

Manowar: Sign Of The Hammer (LP)


Some of the most amazing metal songs ever recorded. Posers leave the forum.

I'd go for Spinal Tap or Bad News over Manowar any day, but parody bands don't count.
