I don't know what genre it is. I'm not good at the subgenre's. I keep it simple with big umbrellas, so metal/hard rock. 

I haven't heard this much anger since, A Jagged Little Pill by Alanis. I like it.

I am not averse to Smiths-alikes. Thought @swt61 might appreciate the subtext?

Favorite South African band. Went to school with the drummer. Probably not entirely PC 10 years on?

This stupid earworm was as catchy 25 years ago as it still is today.

Wait, the lyrics to "Danger Zone" were written by Giorgio Moroder?!?!?

[HiWire]

Wikipedia:

"Danger Zone" is a song, with music composed by Giorgio Moroder and lyrics written by Tom Whitlock, which American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins recorded and released in 1986.

... In 1986, Moroder collaborated with his protégé Harold Faltermeyer (of "Axel F") and lyricist Tom Whitlock to create the score for the film Top Gun (1986) which included Kenny Loggins' hit "Danger Zone" and Berlin's "Take My Breath Away". He wrote the theme song to the film Over the Top, "Meet Me Half Way", also performed by Loggins. In 1987, Moroder produced and co-wrote Falco's song "Body Next to Body". Moroder wrote the official theme songs, "Reach Out", for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and "Hand in Hand", for the 1988 Seoul Olympics and "Un'estate italiana" for the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

etc.

 

Not quite... but there's nothing Giorgio Moroder couldn't do when he set his mind to it!

I still love Billy Bragg and enjoyed the times I saw him live. Claire and my brother like to rub it in that I missed Kingfish at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this year because I was getting a haircut. They were awed by the fat young man.
