Sung to "Theme From Rawhide"
Roli' Roli' Roli'
Though the threads are swollen
Keep them botties rollin',
World wide
Rain and wind and weather
DHL will deliver
Wishin' my toy was by my side
none of the things are missin'
tutorials, helps and wishin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride
pack 'em in
(box em' up!)
box em' up
(ship 'em on!)
ship 'em on
(Head em' out!)
World wide
print 'em off
(pimp 'em up!)
pimp 'em up
(print em' out!)
print 'em out
send 'em on,
World wide!
Keep them movin', movin', movin'
DJ’s team are amazein’
Keep them botties movin',
World wide!
Do try to understand 'em
Just hope, learn, and code 'em
Soon they’ll be livin' high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waitin' at the end of my ride
Move 'em on
(light em' up!)
light em' up
(code 'em up!)
code 'em up
( em' up!)
World wide!
Cut em' out
(Ride 'em in!)
Ride 'em in
(Cut em' out!)
Cut em' out
Ride 'em in,
World wide!
Yah! (whip crack)
Move 'em on
(Head em' up!)
Head em' up
(Move 'em on!)
Move 'em on
(Head em' up!)
World wide!
code em' up
(send 'em in!)
send 'em in
(Cut em' out!)
Cut em' out
Ride 'em in,
Rawhide!
Roli' roli',roli'
Roli' roli' roli' Yah! (whip crack)
Roli' roli' roli'
Roli' roli' roli'
World wide!
Yah! (whip crack)

The irony of it all, Justin Beiber the little punk, grew up less than 20 km from me.... LOL
It's all good.... Just ribbing you....
But your list is all in my collection (except Journey. Never my cup of tea), and no one will ever have a debut album like Led Zeppelin's debut (or second, or 3rd, or 4th albums) but I am really enjoying the work of "The Gaslight Anthem" (very reminiscent of Springsteen, but with their own twist. Saw them live a couple weeks ago. Great show even though I was the second oldest guy in the room). Also enjoying "Fall Out Boy", "Bayside", and "Motion City Soundtrack" a great deal. Prior to breaking up, "My Chemical Romance" did some brilliant work.
In a totally different direction, this "kid" is amazing (and local to me):

Best Selling Albums - Eagles is number 3
It's not always about how many CDs have sold anyway. I guarantee you that a live show now is as good, if not better than a live show back before the mid 80s. I've been to a few over the last few years. Kiss in 2010 still blew the roof off. Bon Jovi in 2013 put on a hell of a show. Steel Panther always put on a killer show.
But that's not what people like to play on the radio. Pop music has always been bad. I could list examples but I don't want to lose my credibility by admitting I know some of those songs
I agree, there has been some right **** come out over the last 2 or 3 decades. Songs with lyrics that were probably written using some kind of computer program to just make words that go together. But there have been some awesome songs too with amazing lyrics and music too. Guns N Roses Use Your Illusions I & II, Nirvana Nevermind, Pearl Jam Ten, I best stop here, I could go on for a long time for post 1985 awesomeness... Even the last couple of years have seen some awesome albums.
Don't let the Bieber make you think everything since 1985 has been like that "baby, baby, baby, oh... baby, baby, baby ohmm.." garbage
***Edit*** Have to include Michael Jackson as well (even though I don't really like him either)
Wake me up when any one ever duplicates Jimmy Page's guitar solo in Stairway to Heaven or Don Felder's/Joe Walsh's lead solos on Hotel California.....
Better yet, wake me up if someone ever writes a song better than Hotel California....
I don't deny Page laid down something that I consider to be an orgasm for my ears (can I say that here?) and the 60s & 70s had a lot of awesome talent but what about Van Halen? Eddie is also a guitar god. '86 to '96 had a string of hits, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Nirvana...
There is a lot of junk out there but there always has been.
I think we have strayed off topic

Back on topic, how many songs about robots are there?
I know Styx - Mr Roboto and The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi battles the pink robots pts 1 and 2" and "One More Robot".
Anyone able to name others?
