Summary: Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine. They are considered one of the "big four" of American thrash metal along with Metallica, Anthrax, and Slayer. Megadeth earned platinum certifications in the United States for five of its sixteen studio albums, and have received twelve Grammy nominations. As of 2023, the band sold more than fifty million albums worldwide.
Times Seen Live in Concert: 2 = 1990 (with Testament and Judas Priest), 1991 (Clash of Titans with Anthrax and Slayer)
Personal Connection: I discovered Megadeth shortly after Metallica. I liked most songs from their first three albums, but nothing really blew me away. That was until the release of 1990’s Rust in Peace. I consider Holy Wars one of the best metal songs ever and the second track, Hangar 18 makes an amazing 1-2 punch. Despite this, still to this day, I find the band still a bit lacking and really only listen to a handful of tracks regularly.
Other songs to consider: Hangar 18

#22 City of Blinding Lights, U2:
Artist Connection to New York (1-5 scale): U2 gets a 2. They aren't from NY but have such an affinity for America they deserve a bit more than a 1.
Song Connection to New York (1-10 scale): The song was about Bono's reaction to fans after they first played post 9/11, so on that level, it's stirring as all hell. It's about an 8. So that's a 10, combined.
Motorist by Jawbox is a decent groove, but there's no way it beats this one, sorry. New York, 6-4.
#21 Juicy, Notorious BIG:
Artist Connection to New York (1-5 scale): On a 1-5 scale if you could award a 6, you'd award it to Biggie, as there are videos of him rapping on the street in Bed-Stuy when he was very young, and has a mural in the nabe dedicated to him after his murder (not far from the great chicken place Peaches Hothouse - shameless plug for some awesome Nashville hot chicken).
Song Connection to New York (1-10 scale): The song's lyrics only explicitly mention Queens and Brooklyn but it's all about his life. The context is clear. So, it's a 9, for a 14 combined score.
Chi-Town by the Cribs, again, is a cool tune, but it can't beat Biggie. New York, 7-4.
#20 New York Groove, Ace Frehley:
Artist Connection to New York (1-5 scale): Ace is a 5, just like his Kiss brethren Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
Song Connection to New York (1-10 scale): The song was originally recorded by an English producer, which dings it a bit - it isn't an original. However, Ace has said his version evokes his experiences with hookers in Times Square in the 70s. It definitely evokes the idea of strutting down the street, probably down Broadway. So it gets a 6. Total score: 11.
The groove is iconic, but The El by Chicagoland bests it by a hair. New York, 7-5.
#19 Harlem by Bill Withers
Artist Connection to New York (1-5 scale): Bill Withers, a great soulful singer - who hung it up in the early 80s, satisfied with his accomplishments - was born in West Virginia and lived in LA, and so he's not really linked to NY all that much. He's a 1.
Song Connection to New York (1-10 scale): The song's swinging groove and its evocative lyrics really do pin it to Harlem, which is something, given Withers really wasn't connected to the place. It's pretty impressive in that right. A 7, so a combined score of 8.
This is a personal thing, so I apologize to @krista4, but while Gary by Shellac is pretty interesting, I'm always going to choose an R&B shuffler over something plodding. New York, 8-5.
#18 New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down - LCD Soundsystem
Artist Connection to New York (1-5 scale): LCD Soundsystem was formed in Brooklyn; its primary driving force is from NJ, but it's very much a NY band. 5.
Song Connection to New York (1-10 scale): Another quintessential New York song about how NY can drive you crazy. It's at once dizzyingly intoxicating and also a grind, beautiful and bizarre and frustrating and bewildering. It gets a 10, so this one gets a perfect score of 15.
As for Myopic Books, I'm gonna give it the nod if only for the lyrics about how Manhattans taste like mouthwash, narrowing NY's lead to 8-6.

It's a nice day (albeit cold); let's take a walk.
Seriously, though, I'll have to give them a dive between MAD rounds.
I'm going to stop at 5. I'll get to everyone eventually. This has been one of my favorite playlists notwithstanding the first of at the very least 2 repeat appearances.
Metal is not my wheelhouse, but I know the biggies. But I don't know this one. I do like the opener, great guitar work.
@KarmaPolice summed this up best: bluesy psychedelia. I liked this one quite a bit and am looking forward to the complete All Them Witches playlist.
Seriously, though, I'll have to give them a dive between MAD rounds.Love me some Muse. This isn't the one I put on 2003 - My brain's repeating, but it's a damn good song.
I don't know what it is about this round, but I'm filling a number of holes (phrasing!) in my annual playlists. I had Ambrosia covered in 1975, but I missed this them in 1980. Rectified.
What a great song. Beach House has fallen of my (release) radar for some reason. I really haven't kept up with them post, say, 2015. Great song, great theme.

Really? It's pretty infamous. The album was removed from the shelves about an hour after it went on sale. The cover got pasted over with a more lovely picture.
I have no idea who thought that was a good idea.

I did a lot of marketing work for Gallo before they sold - got to know the guys / Anthony pretty well. I still have some of the smaller orbs they sold as a 5.1 system. I also had a pair of CL4's for a few years that they gave me the friend price on. Really liked them but did end up selling them when I wanted something different. Gallo made good speakers.
These Chi-fi's you are posting about sound interesting.

Busy weekend - just getting to this now.
Ambrosia carved out a niche as a mid-tempo, kinda yacht rock-sounding group (although that term didn't exist at the time). They came from a bit of a prog background, and Alan Parsons produced/engineered their first album. They must have liked what he did because the output that followed was exceptionally well-produced and sounds really good - big, deep, lush (that's what comes through on a nice system). They loved CSNY, and their harmonies are something they put work into, and you can hear that too. You can almost hear Michael McDonald here too, but that's an illusion - he did collaborate with the band, but not on this song.

Nice. Those orbs were his claim to fame and he wrote quite a bit about why it is superior cabinet design. Some diyers try make them. Not me. I would have loved to hear CL4s, but i wonder if they would have been disappointing. I had a love hate relationship with the CL2s. They were not worth $800 if you compare them to the then competition. They wanted to be driven hard even though they weren't rated for powerful amps. So a 200w per channel solid state class A amp made them a treat, but I wouldn't play the volume over 5. It's leveraging head room. Under-powered tube amps and chi-fi class d amps are my thing now. The closest I have to a proper amp for the Gallos is a Denon AVR, but I didn't want to get behind it and start messing around to test the Gallos v the Samtronics.
I think the $200 clone of a clone tube amp I linked to hooked up to the Samtronics would be... thinking about how to make this claim... as far as I know, the best audiophile bang for the buck I've ever seen.
eta: I still haven't driven them hard and that could reveal things I dislike about glass fiber woofers. But I know a drop in replacement for the woofer that is excellent. There's a chance quality control on the clone of a clone is poor.

Perfect.
New to me, liked it immediately
New to Me, I turned to a different music list the first time I was listening with my 14yo son in the car. Went back to it later and added to my likes list.
This One took listening twice before I liked it, but now I do.
Another classic!
I remember liking them as a kid, this was among their better songs imo

13 tracks in and taking a little break, but first a few comments. Yeah, this is good all around.
Simey's Train Song put her on my list of songs I'm hoping for from a theme. Just jogged a memory.
I survived the post-simey gauntlet wanting to translate umlaut music.
Not my favorite from Don Quixote's great list, but did note it closed with a sweet tremelo-in' surf guitar solo.
My kid's gonna be gaga for the Smells Like Teen Spirit cover. Playlist sent.
88 Lines About 44 Women isn't a rip-off of Butthole Surfers' Pepper, but the idea's there. I prefer Butthole SURFERS, ofc. I've embarrassed family in Vegas karaoke-ing dat one. Might have to learn 88 Lines.

Here's the kind of connections/trivia I'm getting a kick out of learning by deep diving recording studios. Pip's post about Bill Withers live 73 recording made me check who was behind it. Phil Schier and the Record Plant. Perfect. I already have tons of stories on their work.
That led to a footnote about the Rolling Stones investing in a Europe-based mobile recording studio that was both an improvement and copy of the Record Plant's. It became iconic for not just catching the Stones live but many others. The best story is about Deep Purple. They were recording at a casino in Montreux that had a great ballroom space used for both recording and live shows. Their recording sessions were interrupted with Frank Zappa scheduled for a live show which they attended. Some fool in the crowd fired a flare gun which started a fire that burned the entire hotel and casino to the ground.
Deep Purple was on a deadline. The Stones were playing nearby. They rented the mobile studio to complete their album. They wrote a new song about these events which became their biggest hit, and if you know the lyrics, you know the story already. Smoke on the Water. I just didn't know the Stones connection.

You're probably right and I'm leaving the above as the true example of it - NY Groove is a nice song, but simply saying those words probably should give it a 4, not a 6. (I stand by the Biggie, Bill Withers and LCD Soundsystem ratings for their songs, however)

I'm completely lacking any motivation at the moment (thanks DOGE) so I'm just gonna copy what I wrote about Commercial Rain in my 1990 thread:
Our kid JML came through with some additional info:
SInce we're on the theme of Manchester bands, I guess I should mention that Noel Gallagher was a roadie for Inspiral Carpets. They fired him after the US tour b/c he was supposedly a bit ****e at the job.
