The World Drags Me Down

Known largely for their hit "Fire Woman," the UK band The Cult also had this top 20 UK hit that I'm a big fan of.  I'm also a big fan of the vest and all white look that lead singer Ian Astbury gives us in this video.  Here is The Cult with "She Sells Sanctuary"...

Come On Little Honey

Today's song rocks. There's really no other way to put it, and it's the first appearance in The Excellent 80's from the British rock band formed sometime around 1983. It's a classic rock song from 1989. Here is The Cult with "Fire Woman"...
